Some New Developments….

It’s been another upset week.  Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were horrible messes.  Physical therapy due Tuesday didn’t “officially” set an appointment as of 11:00 a.m. and was sent an inquiry.  As another doctor’s appointment was needed, setting that up was started before the note to the therapist.  Therapy said she wasn’t coming at all.  She would  see about a sub.  Communication with the sub was disorganized and repeatedly interfered with setting the doctor’s appointment.  The assessment nurse due Wednesday also had no “official” appointment.  Calling put that on Thursday.

By Friday it was most fortunate aide service was due to come.  She did a clean up, hauled out the trash and sorted through some food.  Most importantly, the air bed seemed to be dying with some kind of small leak.  The aide set up new one.  There was email sent in regard to The Project Friday night.  It remains to be seen whether anything comes of it.  Friday was also a landmark day in regard to the emergency contact search.  Contact was made with someone who might help with it.  He came for a visit yesterday to look things over.  If nothing else, he might help if not become a part of the matter.

Saturday morning was a special mess.  Casework services ran up the phone bill to say nothing, while Security Check Lady didn’t call at all.  That’s the second time she hasn’t done it in recent times.  Nice Jewish Lady ran an errand and the price they said over the telephone was less than what they charged her — she had to add money and she does such errands for free.  Last but not least, the rear end started bleeding.  It stopped or another trip to the hospital would have been needed.  It’s not the first time there’s been some blood showing up, but usually it’s not an actual bleeding situation.

As they say, tomorrow’s another day.  😦

What Day Is It?

Yesterday evening it was just accidentally learned that today is a legal holiday known as Columbus Day.  It used to be October 12, period.  However, be it today or the 12th, it was a forgotten legal holiday which, seemingly, has never happened before.  Business offices are closed on legal holidays and they stay high in mind because it’s not possible to do a lot of things.  There’s been so much upsetting stuff going on that if it weren’t for the little daily record in the lower right of the computer even the year might be forgotten.

New Friend seems to be a thing of the past.  There’s been no word from him for a week, however, there appears to be another New Person on the scene.  This is unknown at the moment.  There’s also been no word from Young Friend, and he’s usually in contact by now as to when he might come.  Beat up or not, Nice Jewish Lady did go get money and some “emergency supplies.”  There is cash in hand, but there is also money owed.  Lunch Lady also came to the rescue with gifts.  There’s, of course, no aide service yet.

On the whole, the past week was a case of “in a daze.”  A neighbor seemed interested in being helpful, so it was suggested he could take care of the plants.  He didn’t come.  That may still be done by someone else.  The telephone was too low on money until Saturday morning to be using it even for the Security Check calls.  The calendars may be changed to October by the end of the week.  The outside “sits” were skipped several times, and it’s not unusual for breakfast to be at noon or later and supper at midnight or later.

Getting back on track can be a job.
