It's
really funny how life works, at least for me, you never know was just
around the corner. Also concerned and a bit perplexed and a little
annoyed when Annette my home health professional as well as
housekeeper never came back from her scheduled vacation will more
than a week ago maybe two weeks ago. In that. I have three different
home health people the last being Jenna who is really kind of cool. I
think I could really get into her as a home health person. She served
me twice each time we learned little bit about each other and had a
number of things in common. She's great to work with, take direction
well and I think pretty dependable. I was beginning to think of her
as the next long-term person.
As
the week wore on I kind of expected that here's something from
Annette but I did not and then yesterday in the afternoon I decided I
better texture and see if she's still considering cleaning my
apartment on Saturdays. To my delight I started getting texts
indicating that she would be there or here this morning about 8:30
AM. I was relieved and surprisingly excited at the prospect of seeing
her again. The apartment actually is in pretty good condition with
the help of Jenna and myself trying to be somewhat
responsible/proactive. I was delighted again when Annette knocked on
the door and appeared this morning ready for work. She was clearly
excited to see me as I was her and we hugged and delighted to be in
each other's company once again. Then she dropped an interesting bomb
and that she informed me that she would be showing up on Monday to
start my home health service again. I was a bit perplexed to say the
least but Annette assured me she talked with the company boss who had
rehired her after the “job and not worked out”. I did not pursue
what happened and felt somewhat conflicted with her coming back as my
attendant. Since I'm working through the agency I kind a step back
from any ownership of the attended the attendant management. Clearly,
Annette was was totally excited to be back helping me. Since, I had
Jenna only twice and there were some issues cropping up some that
would have to be managed I am more than willing to go back to status
quo with Annette with the knowledge that she may or may not be still
actively looking for employment elsewhere. I think this experience
been somewhat cautionary for her before she jumped ship again. The
win-win part for me is that I don't have to train somebody else if I
can indeed keep Annette as my home attendant I still have the
capability of knowing Jenna is still in the stable of attendant care
folks and she might be available if and when I need either backup for
when Annette may not be available or when Annette decides to jump
ship again and swim for greener oceans.…
