I apologize again to seem to be so
focused on my experiences with home health, attendant care but the
whole concept Continues to fascinate me beyond report. Couple weeks
ago John, my main morning guy, who informed me that he was going to
return to his home state of Pennsylvania to watch his grandchildren
while their mother went on a trip to Cancun. He indicated be gone for
a week this was just a heads up I mean really what do I care? It's
not like I really have these guys employed even though it really is
supposed to act as a manager for them – – the employee to an
agency of the don't show up they call somebody else on their list to
do the job assuring the consumer, me, a seamless fabric of support
so do I really care if you're going on vacation, have jury duty are
whatever? You, the home health aide, is just a cog in a giant wheel
Of the American medical complex. Again I care little bit about who
shows up to get me to bed or to get me up but I really don't have
that much control over the whole thing. Last night, Mark the night
guy, informed me that he will be doing John's coverage next week
Monday and Friday. I really wasn't that turned on to hear that
information. Barely deal with Mark on the four nights a week he is my
night attended. I don't know what it is he just seems to struggle so
much just to do this job. Actually, I kind of admire the guy he's
doing three different jobs – – home health aide, aide at a
nursing care facility and he drives casino buses Friday Saturday
Sunday! I'm just blown away the poor guy have the work that kind of
hours doing that that kind of stuff. I guess one time he was also a
cabbie on the horse cabs downtown until they were shut down by the
city fathers. I always thought about calling the agency requesting
somebody else for Monday and Friday Evening with that would probably
devastate the guy. I'm sure it throughout a way to make the money up
but I think he really likes to come over to provide my assistance.
Again, is really true to myself but I fell about him really matter,
theoretically it is are the best quality care that I can get. And
mind you this is the only guy who has had the balls to charge me more
than a hour and contracted for because we went late. Not saying you
should not just saying come on , Your gouging me anyway Just charge
you for the hour don't worry about the few extra minutes we went
over time.
Bottom-line, I don't like him nearly as
much to ask me, in fact the kind of scares me, I really don't Want I
have to associate with him anymore than I have to… And then the
other day he informed me like I should really care that sometime this
winter is taking a week off to do something Southern California with
his grandchildren… November?! Why do I care? The agency would just
send somebody else anyway somebody that I might like, someone who
will be here on time someone I will really miss when the weeks up…
Home healthcare what a drag.
