Journal Entry for July 22, 2008 Mood

Tuesday, July 22, 2008—10 A.M.

After getting through the session with my therapist and sister yesterday, I was feeling good enough to finally get a good night’s sleep. My therapist was supposed to call in the afternoon so we could schedule another appointment. The call never happened. I would like to send him a copy of my calendar for August, so he can see the days on which I already have something scheduled, but I cannot figure out how to do that. My brain must be on vacation today.

Things seemed to be getting better toward the end of last week since one of my CNAs started getting me into bed without giving me any “body slams.” When she came in last night, she told the other CNA to lift the upper part of me because she had been told that she had “been treating” me “roughly” for the past three months. I never said that in those exact words, so it remains to be seen whether she will be too angry to continue working with me.

I have another CNA who is getting ready to move to San Diego during September. She has helped me a lot, and I am going to miss her. It seems somewhat strange that the good workers leave, and the bad ones stay.

I hope she's too angry to work with you. You deserve better. Although I worry about her working with anyone.

Hopefully a new good worker will come and take her place. I hope that for you, Jim.

This CNA does not appear to be angry. In fact, she has been much nicer to me than usual.

Thank you for hoping that a new good worker will take her place. It may happen yet.
