Took Katie to the ALS meeting last night. Reported there that a lot changed over the last month, they wanted to know if Tom was more compliant.
I said need generates a lot of things, for instance he is more clingey, and uses the suction machine himself, but he still resists things.
What an understatement!
It seems I am to be punished for going out to the useless meeting. I got quite a blast when I got home.
While I was out mom called (not sure if it was mine or his) , my sister called -- clarified it was Holly and the nurse called too. She will be here Wed. at 1
So now the tirade on what the hell etc... and what is the nurse for anyway?
I said I wanted to talk to her about communication devices.
GLARE!~!
He is not using any such stuff and bla bla bla bla......
I said, OK Mr. independant. Lets see how you do on your own.
I can't understand you so what now?
He said stop listening. Really? That is an option? Cool, cause that will free up a LOT of my time. If I am not helping with showers, getting dressed, organizing his day, making the coffee, repairing broken dentures, going to get meds, cleaning the equipment, ewwww, meeting with nurses etc. then all I will have to do is get up, go to work, come home, make supper and go to bed. Oh, and when I get there I can sleep. SWEET!
I am still going to get the com. aid from the nurse.
She is still going to come every wednesday.
I am still getting the air on Dec. 13.
But what ever it is he needs, he can get himself. ( on Wednesday)
Bugger! Why does this have to be so hard? Oh, ya FTD.
I really hate being glared at, despised and criticized
I hate demands that when answered are thanked for with contempt.
I wish I was something other than the enemy.
The thought "Is THIS what Christ's life was like?" crosses my mind regularly.
If so, and I think is is closer than most humans will experience, I don't think even Christians are giving Jesus enough credit.
