Note from the Home Health Aide:

Just wanted to tell you that earlier this week, i was talking to Heather,
and she said if your showers arent done weekly, then the services have to be
stopped. So I dont know how to handle this, Im assuming that we could
stretch the truth for this week and put down that we did the shower thing,
and try and keep them up on a weekly basis.


My Response to the Note from the Home Health Aide:

They are at it again! Now I think it is time to go up to the State level.

First of all, Heather is the office manager and she has nothing to do with my treatment plan. I am the one who requested assistance with bathing so where is she getting off telling me when to bath?

Secondly, Heather has no MD after her name, has never met me and has no idea about my limitations. On top of that she is getting pretty high and mighty after sending me an HHA who showed up once or twice a month when she was supposed to be here weekly, always came late and came on days she wasn't scheduled. The next HHA didn't show up at all. The one after that brought her partner with her and the last time she was here she brought her partner and her two-year-old grandson.

The new HHA started last week, was here once, then was sick, then too tired from starting a new full-time job, came for three hours, then had a rash on her leg and was too sick to come and goes to her boyfriend's on the weekends so can't come then.

She is currently being trained in this month on her other job so is working days and planned to come here at 6:30 PM. That worked out pretty well but I can't see the hours working when she goes on nights. She has to drive 30 miles to work so will have to leave here 30 minutes before she is scheduled to work which I assume is 3:30 PM to 10:30 PM. That makes it 11:00 PM before she gets back here.

She could come a couple hours before work but I don't get up until 1::00 PM so that doesn't give much time unless she comes for three hours twice a week. Since she lives just one block from me, that could be a possibility.

The nurse is supposed to be here once a month and hasn't been here this month. She hasn't scheduled a visit and it is now June 29 so I'm doubting I will see her. Unless of course, I've become senile as well as incontinent (according to the service providers) and she has been here and I've forgotten. I would ask Chore Man but he can't remember where all his body parts are most of the time. Maybe if I just don't bathe until one of mine falls off these people will get it that I don't have complete control over my limitations. And can't and won't jump when they say jump.

Ok, so I'm on a rampage. I asked Chore Man, who had his buddy, Limps Alot, a Chore Man clone, with him yesterday to get everything off the floor in the guest room. They acted like they understood me. I should have known better. After they left I checked the guest room. They left the heavy stuff for me, the computer monitor and the microwave and all the cat carriers, all six of them.

Then Chore Man dumped my cigarettes ashes in the dining room waste basket which isn't a waste basket at all. It's an umbrella holder which I had just washed out from the last time he dumped my ashes in there after I asked him not to. I'm just evil enough right now to go dump the cigarette butts and ashes on his front lawn. In fact, I think I will do just that very thing. If you don't hear from me for a while you can send bail money.

Oh, I have a different computer hooked up. I've been spending the last three weeks deleting all the junk put on it by Windows and Hewitt Packard and trying to get rid of an error message that kept knocking me off the internet and wouldn't let my downloads finish and install. I couldn't get the anti-virus blocker downloaded so didn't want to correspond with anyone until I got that on my computer.

Just when I thought I had all the Windows and Hewitt Packard junk deleted, here they both come with automatic updates. It's a conspiracy. Anyway, I had to do a bunch of downloads from both Windows and Hewitt Packard to get rid of the error problem and now I'm sailing along very nicely. In the process, I've discovered how to disable much of the garbage and feel some what in control. That, I'm sure is short lived!

Shhhhh. I think I hear some updates being downloaded.
