6:31a.m. Yesterday turned out to be a terrible day They stripped and waxed my floors.. They took everything out of my room around eleven o’clock. I had to go back to the Fiesta Room.k. I ended up being there until seven . By then the Hoyer pad was killing me. It felt ?I!e sharp edges bed were cutting into my butt.
I was in a hell of a lot of pain. I got scolded for yelling out. Then I almost got into it with an aide. “I got to get off this God Damned Hoyer pad!” I screamed. He yelled back “Don’t yell at me like that!” Twice I got yelled at for screaming out in pain.
All afternoon I kept thinking what kind of hellhole is this place? People who work here don’t seem to care about the residents. They are are just marking time to get a paycheck. For example, when I came back last night my hearing impaired phone was. Missing. Nobody until a few minutes ago would help me find it. Again I had to raise hell at the nurse’s station before they sent anyone down to hook it up.
Of course I had incontinence episodes while out of my room. I couldn’t get changed. I had to sit in urine and feces until 7pm when they finally put me to bed. By then I was one miserable pissed off old fart.
But I think today is going to be better. I finally got my phone working. I had my coffee and orange juice. Breakfast was good. It consisted of biscuits and gravy with oatmeal I ate it all and didn’t get sick. Today is going to be much better.
2:52p.m. Well this turned out to be another bad day. I got very depressed this morning. Also, I ached from arthritis and muscle spasms. It didn’t help that I laid in urine and feces all morning. All of this caused me to be in a very bad mo
Chococolatechip was also having a bad day. We chatted on Messenger a lot. She was going on about a few people in the building namely Tim the Moocher. He is a sick man mentality and physically who only uses people for what he can get. Then on a lighter note she went on about Schwann’s. The truck was supposed to stop today. Chococolatechip thought about ordering groceries from them instead of making a trip to Krogers We chatted on and off almost all morning.
While we were chatting I sat in urine and feces. This was in addition to being in pain. Like I said I was one miserable old fart. I was really very grumpy until they served lunch. I had two hamburgers and fries plus Mandarin oranges. Lunch cheered me up until I had yet another BM. I had to sit in that until they put me to bed and changed my briefs.
I’m in bed now. It is after three o’clock. I feel better but I had yet another bad day.
6:12p.m. I crashed for ninety minutes. Then I had an incontinence episode of massive proportions. The aide said she will change me after supper. This means lying in urine for at least two more hours. Perfect ending to a very bad day day. This makes two shitty days in a row.
I didn’t read today. I just didn’t feel up to it. I probably won’t read tonight I’m just too damned tired. Besides lying in urine does not make one want to read.
I’m glad you maintain your optimism even after all this pain and mistreatment.
