Today was not a bad day for me. With one more dialysis day left for the week—tomorrow, I am doing nothing today. I have watched Unsolved Mysteries, Dark Shadows, and Midsomer Murders all day. I did watch a movie titled The Swing, and that movie made sense in the description, but watching the movie, I couldn’t follow it very well. This movie wasn’t for me.
Jackie was here from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM today. We watched TV together for a while, but we rested and did our own thing. I called Mercy Options back because I had rescheduled my appointment with the with the nurse prescriber regarding a mental health drug for me outside of Prozac I am already taking and being weaned off Seroquel with my primary doctor at SSM Health/St. Mary’s Clinic. I am leaving MercyHealth after finding a nephrologist there through Dr. C Taylor’s help talking to someone. My next appointment will be on February 1, 2024. That is my goal, anyway. I have been very unhappy with MercyHealth in the past two years now.
Nursing Home
For the past year and a half now, I have been afraid I am going to a nursing home because Dr. Hussli was going to keep me in St. Elizabeth’s Nursing Home because she wanted me to have 24-hour care. I don’t need 24-hour nursing care. I need care in the home. She was not and did not allow me to have a Hoyer in the home. She deemed it unsafe in the home when my caregiver Jackie knew how to use one in case a client had one. They are not deemed unsafe. Many people have them in her home. Jackie said I did not need 24-hour care in my home. I need time for myself, and I would never get out of bed with the aid of my caregivers anyway. We will be working towards getting to and from bed in my occupational therapy time at the rehab building on N Washington Street in the next few weeks so I have more confidence in myself. Right now, my confidence is very low. Occupational therapy starts tomorrow after evaluation.
Time to Say Good Night
Well, it’s time to close shop and lock up. It is going on to bedtime here shortly. I have had my supper, a turkey pot pie tonight, Millie kitty has a good nose for food, lol, and we had supper together. Been watching Dark Shadows and now watching Midsomer Murders on Tubi. I like John Nettles as Tom Barnaby. Watched shows with Neil Dudgeon as John Barnaby who happens to portray Tom Barnaby’s cousin in season 13 and is the last season for John Nettles. 😭👍🏻. I think Neil Dudgeon does a great job, though. The show has been on for 24 years or so. Anyway, time to say good night. Good night and God bless.
