Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Long day yesterday and not a good one for me. Nancy came and we took Tom to the Drs. for his arm. His BP was still too low and she cut his water pill and another in half. She said she would sign off on whatever the nurse needs. That was a score! No wound Dr. needed. (Tom wont go)
Coming home Robert was gone and the only dog locked up was his and she was screaming bloody murder. I got her out and the others as well I was hurting really bad. I made it to the back door but couldn't go any further. I sat on a walker that was there and just ugly cried. I had to sit there a long time before I could make it back to my chair.
So that's why I wasn't on much yesterday. Pain
Today, nurse showed up just as I was getting my coffee and she bandaged Tom up and was giving me some advise for him. Then she drops the bomb. Today was her last day. She was a traveling nurse and her contract ran out. They waited too long to ask her to stay as she had already accepted another contract in another state. This really bummed me out.

Aww, Granny! So sorry to hear all this! Will you get a new nurse? And if so, will it be soon?

It's Shih-tzu, btw. Not that it matters. How are you feeling today?

I found this article when I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and doing research. Hope it helps and good luck.

Thanks, Miss Iris.

There should not be any delay in a nurse coming to see him, He is on the company schedule and they will have someone take over his case. His insurance won't pay them if they don't come out. If it is more than 1 day longer than normal, Granny call the home health company to get them on the ball.

That makes 2 of us Granny. I had a miserable night last night. Got over confident and cutback on my pain med and muscle relaxer. Realized my error about 2AM while laying in bed with my right arm feeling like it was wrapped in a way too tight Ace Bandage which it isn't . Even my pillow sling felt too tight--it wasn't--and all I wanted to do was rip it off--which I couldn't.

Got up and took my pain meds and got to sleep about a half hour later. Got up about 7:45. Keep forgetting that even though I'm almost at the 4 week mark, I'm far from healed.

Oh well. There is always tonight.

Granny girl, I wish I could give you a real hug. Been there done that. Only I had the 'ugly cry' while sitting in the shower 8 months after my dad went back to the nursing home due to his advanced dementia and 6 years after losing my mother. I suddenly realized I was alone and basically an 'orphan'.

2 months later I met my DH which proves that even the darkest cloud has a silver lining.

The rheumatologist said fosamax does that to your jaw too. Dentist says the jaw rot goes on into the sinuses. It's a very serious condition.

How awful

Don't rush things, Chickadoodle. One year. It takes a year to heal. Rushing just sets you back and your shoulder will punish you, every time.
