Norma came to visit yesterday . She brought burgers and change . My wheel chair started to collapse as we went outside . The left front wheel has been twisting toward the inside and bending backwards if not on absolutely flat floor or ground . Norma said hell no , That chair is just too dangerous and went back inside and in less then five min" was back with a new chair ,,,, With a new padded chair cushion { I didn't have one before } and a guy from maintenance to change my cup holder over to the new chair . { I have the only chair with an added on cup holder} She also brought me some books . One a hard back called "off the grid" by C.J. Box . While we were sitting ,,,, eating burgers ,,,,, changing wheelchairs ,,,,,, I was smoking ,,,, She was on the phone to a lawyer she Know's wanting to know why he hasn't talked with me yet . He said he would see me the next day . Wait that is now today and it's Saturday . Saturday and a house call ??? I think the cost of his service just went up . WAY UP . One can only hope he's not just an ambulance chaser ! . All though with the right ambulance chaser I might not have to worry about money for a long time . Or I might end up in jail myself . Question's need to asked ,,,, and answered ..... How did I get Injured ? Who changed my bloody clothes ? Who called for an ambulance ?
How is it that in less then 24 hours every thing I own was stolen and my place striped clean ? . How is it there hasn't been any charges by the cop's ?
Like I said ,,,,,, Norma comes to visit ,,,,, Things change .....
Now if only she could be in charge of my health care ,,,,, Maby ,,, just Maby .... My head would quit hurting . { or it would just fall off }
I have always taken care of my hearing , It was said I could hear a mouse fart at a hundred paces . Now the sound screaming in my head is so loud the nurses all know to remove their mask's so I can "read" their lips . I literally can not hear them . At times , And with medication the screaming quiet's down and I can hear most of what's being said . But this last week it has been a crap shoot about when or even if you get you're meds or if you get all of them . It's like the young lady that put my photo up . She came into my room said Hi and that she would be back to post more photo's for me in a few minutes then didn't show and now I haven't seen her in over a week . ?????? They moved Mrs. Hildie to another wing . I liked her . She had me set up for a shower every three days ! . Now I'm lucky if I get one once a week . Last week you could tell what time it was by the meds being derived at always 5😮5 am . It is now 7:08 and no meds . Don't these nurses know that one's body get's to depend on things happening at a certain time ? {brings home Pavlov}
I get to watch a few others that don't understand ,,, or can't understand ,,,, And they crowed the nurses that is in charge of handing out the meds . and knows who gets what . And in doing so that it will add another hour or more to how long it takes . Hell they , ... The nurses empty my drain bag . They measure and write down the amount and time . They yell at me when I do it myself . They are so backed up and so far behind right now , my bag is not only full but is starting to back up . So do I add to their problem ? turn on my red light demanding attention ? Or should I just empty it my self??

Hello again dear man,
I'm sorry that I haven't been able to post in a couple of days. Life sometimes gets in the way of life. I'm so glad for you regarding your wheelchair. I hope that that one is designated to you. That would be excellent.
I'm sorry that you will be missing Norma. Is she a nurse, a helper or a patient? Speaking to her lawyer friend is a good move forward. I wouldn't necessarily worry about his rates as much as I'd worry about getting to a place where the whole healthcare system isn't broken. A place where your catheter is properly cared for on time and you get your meds, the right ones, all of them and on time.
If your bag is backing up and if there is a hose connection between it's entrance and the bag, It just might come apart in some mysterious manner and there will be a mess to clean up. You can go from "I don't know" to subtly blaming it on the care you're not getting. I'm smiling because I can imagine the nurses face's and suspect that you've done it. Yes, I know the clean-up will take more time away from their patients (if they do it themselves) but they might learn after a couple of times that they should service you properly.
Even I can deduce that a back-up signals big problems.
I hope Shawn is still in your room and approaching you,

Though my hearing is about normal, but my sniffer is always working overtime. I can -smell- a mouse fart at a hundred paces! (ha!) It has prevented a couple of bad situations coming to a head. I smelled a gas leak when I was out playing., I new it was a bad thing (at age 8) and sniffed it down. I guess I did it the same way sniffer or tracking dogs do it. I would smell it and go towards it and if I lost the smell, I would go back to when I'd lost it and went at it on a different angle. I did this till I found the source, it was well more than 200 yards away at the side of a houses, 4 down form us. Even when I told my Dad, he couldn't smell it when he was right up to it! I insisted and my Dad had to get 2 other adults out there and one said they could smell it a tiny bit. They called the gas company, It was looked after and all was good. Leaking gas could have bad consequences.

Another time I smelled heat but I don't know how you smell heat; maybe I smelled the warmth of the materials around it. I smelled it in our upstairs bedroom hall. I felt the walls and sure enough, one place in the hall wall was quite warm to the touch. There was an outlet on the opposite side of the wall. I told my Mom and she pulled the cords out of the outlet and put tape over it so nobody would use it. She had me go around and feel all the outlets in the house to feel if there were other hot ones. There wasn't. Since we couldn't afford an electrician, Dad had a friend of a friend come over and correct the situation. The house was built at a time when they were using copper and some other metal, (maybe aluminum?) for wiring. After a lot of fires because of it, they outlawed it.

I love that your posts are longer and more clear. The place you are at really frustrated me as i have been an advocate for my grandmother and then my parents at different stages of my life.
I would be raising hell for you.
