The day started too early again as far as everyone was concerned. About 5:30 am the fun on the machines started so Sandy was on her feet while Dana pretended to be getting some rest. Later, Dana and I were out trying applying to SSI for some extended insurance benefits when PT\/OT showed up for Chloe. Sandy was the only one here to go to the gym. She didn\u2019t recognize the ladies today but it turned out they really didn\u2019t have a lot of information about Chloe\u2019s capabilities. On the way down the wheelchair had some issues and Chloe wasn\u2019t in it well. The headrest was coming undone so things were a challenge. Down in the gym Sandy had to be one of the helpers as there was only one person to work with her and that wasn\u2019t going well. Chloe spent a lot of time lying down recovering so the morning was pretty much a waste. The wheelchair was sent out for repairs. <\/p>\n
When Dana and I returned, poor Sandy was fried. I don\u2019t care how well you think you sleep in the room it\u2019s a joke. So when someone spends two nights in a row and then is called on to handle a good chunk of the day shift as well\u2026 it\u2019s not a pretty sight. In fact, I never saw Sandy leave, as I was preoccupied with something going on.<\/p>\n
Chloe had some art therapy with Katy and finished her \u201cInside outside mask.\u201d It\u2019s covered with words and sayings the represent how she wants people to see her and how she feels about herself. It\u2019s quite interesting and she was very proud she finished it.<\/p>\n
It was Bingo afternoon and, again, Chloe was a three-time winner. We\u2019re running out of prizes that she is interested in. We may just have to put in some special requests.<\/p>\n
I left for a couple hours to teach a lesson and I\u2019m glad I did. My furnace has decided to take a break so being there to see that was a good thing. I had a chance to warm the house up a bit with a manual start. Now I\u2019ll just hope it doesn\u2019t freeze solid tonight as I\u2019m on night shift with Dana.<\/p>\n
We are all tucked in now. There have been early morning problems the last few days so we are hoping the new RT tonight has some of the problems addressed early. Chloe\u2019s day starts at 9:30 tomorrow morning. That\u2019s a break from the 8 am start. Hopefully there will be no early morning surprises and everyone can sleep in for a change.<\/p>\n
Be well,
