Best Plans…

I just love having a day with nothing planned. Actually the day started out with something planned which never appeared. Friday morning. The last day of my weekly Triple Crown where my health person comes in and showers and toilets me. And usually Friday is not a big deal. It used to be that entrust myself to go the weekend without having to poop but now I'm past worrying I trust myself. This lets you look forward to the weekend about any kind of outside intervention. Dana, my own health care specialist advice me the beginning of the week that she would not be here today because she was taking vacation and traveling out of state. I cannot blame her but are not being here certainly puts me in the defensive mode no question.

Once again trying to be Mr. proactive I call my home health agency to advise them that I need to have coverage for today. The first two days I cannot get anybody on the line and left messages with no response. I told Dana the problem I was having and she assured me that she contacted the agency to let them know way in advance that she was off with the holiday weekend. This morning I was getting I was up and ready for whoever should show up. I was kind of worried that it might Saydee. I believe I've actually written about Saydee before and how difficult she is to work with. However, I have decided that I'm going to welcome Saydee with open arms and welcome her into my life and train her out of her poor work habits. Now I do not believe I have superpowers are asking you to do such a thing but I think this road and will not frustrate so much when she does those things that strikes me crazy. Well silly me, 7 o'clock came and there is no one, 7:30 AM no one 8 AM again no one. I start calling the agency and there's nobody answering not even the 24-hour phone lines which is typical. 8:30 AM I called again and get Angie, I always get Angie who by the way is Saydee's cousin. Angie could've acted upset I wouldn't know her affect his flatlined. She tries to act surprised and says you can make a couple calls get right back to me. A few minutes later she does call back to let me know that would it be okay for my person if she comes later in the day. By now it's almost 9 AM I really want to start my day. Angie asks could I wait till tomorrow? And by this time I said yes. I'm feeling okay and not bloated or anything and I just want to get my day. Typically I would not like to interrupt my weekends with Saturday intervention that this won't be too bad – – if indeed the person does, tomorrow at 7 AM as promised – – and then will be just one day before Monday when Dana returns. I'm almost relieved – – not that way – – and now I'm just hoping that tomorrow goes off without a hitch. I think it will, I hope it will.

Dana, my personal, is not really formally told me she's leaving the agency is given me a couple of hints that she might be getting out of the business. I'm considering this and I don't know if I'll try to find another person through this agency or look for another agency or try to find a private person, an independent. I don't know what this would do any better than what's happening now but I'm going to have to do something.
