12:00am I’m really pissed! I am still in in my wheelchair! There is no frigging excuse for this! I’ve been wanting to go to bed since nine. The aid came in around nine and said it will be a minute. I’m still in my wheelchair three hrs later.iim seriously thinking about filing a complaint it is just not right.

I tried to make good use of my time. I started to read the first chapter of The Fox and and the Lion 1882-1940 by James MagGregor Burns. Roosevelt was born on January 30,1892. His father was James Roosevelt and Sara Delano. Roosevelts lived at Hyde Park, a seven hundred acre estate along the Hudson river. Burns talked about FDR’s ancestors and his relationship iwith his parents

This was an interesting chapter but I didn’t get very far. I  had a hard time concentrating because I was tired and mad. I kept thinking all I wanted was a nighttime snack and to be put in bed. I also kept thinking I won’t be getting much sleep tonight? They will be getting me up at five.

Aid finally came. She brought me a cookie and made my bed.  Once more I’ll ring the call light and she will take forever to get me in bed.

8:03am I was put in bed by one. As mad as I was I felt grateful that the aid finally came. I didn’t sleep very well because I had weird dreams.  I was awake when she came in and got me out of bed by 5:30. I had no trouble sleeping in my wheelchair until breakfast. I had a biscuit with gravy plus hot cereal. I had two cups of coffee, a glass of oj and chocolate milk. I feel somewhat awake now but I wish I could go back to bed.

What a night I had! But I survived and am above the dirt. I feel ok for now. Despite being sleep deprived I feel awake thanks to the caffeine fix. I’m not experiencing arthritis pain. I’m in a good mood and do not feel anxious. I am hoping to have a good day and do a lot of reading in The Fox and the Lion by James MagGregor Burns. I also plan on listening to my audiobook on the Vietnam War. I’m going to have a good day.
