Well Shawn has left . We have new nurses in my wing , and I have a new room mate already . Some "dude" that suffers from dementia and seem's to be lost and wandering all the time . Had to tell him multiple times to get away from my closet . The new Nuses went through and took things like my rescue inhaler and tried to take my tube of ointment that is needed to keep my penis from chaffing .

Just this morning I needed my rescue inhaler . It took 4 min' to get it to me and the nurse angerly told me she could hear me all the way down the hall and that I was panicking. A rescue inhaler needs to be "at hand " . I don't know what is going on ... but things are changing here and not for the better .

Norma is trying to get me into an assisted living building here in Reno , The sooner I can leave here the better . It appears that they put all the trouble makers around me as Shawn left . They moved Mark , one of the guys I met and am friends with five wings over {this is a big place} . I went to visit him yesterday and noticed all the "nice" nurses are now in his new wing . What the hell . Am I now seen as a "trouble maker? " . I have never pushed my call light button unless it was for a real "thing" I needed help with . In fact I have tried to deal with any problems on my own and not trouble the nurses if at all possible . I have always tried to be polite and as kind and thankful to the nurses as I could . Hell you and I both know a regular person wouldn't put up with 1/4 of the crap they do .

All that being said Life here is becoming hell . The nurses bring you you're meds ... some have meds that have to be asked for . They say ," I'll be right back" ... and you don't see them until the next med delivery 4 or 6 hours later . Or you can't get your wheel chair in to the rest room quick enough and have an accident . It takes ... I timed it on my phone ... 2 hours to answer the call light . And even then the nurse that came wasn't qualified . He said to help . By the time a "qualified" nurse showed up , I had gotten out of my pants and underwear, cleaned my wheelchair, cleaned myself, and was "naked" trying to get clean clothes out of my closet . By clean I mean, I had to use wet toilet paper as I had no access to any cleaning supplies ! No wash cloth ,,,, nothing ,,,,,,

Just spoke with a very nice lady from housekeeping . She told me my new room mate is known to pee on the walls and in coffee cups .

Good lord the guy needs to be in a mental facility ! And please not to let on that she told me that as doing so is angst the rules .

Sorry this is turning into a rant .
