Like I didn't have enough physical shit to cope with the Covid vaccination has left me feeling pretty shit. My arm is up and stiff and so is my neck too. Headachy and head pain. Bit more befuddled than usual. And she injected me really high up on my arm too, I've never had one so high up. You can see the redness around it. I'm only just about ( Read more... )

I was not brilliant earlier then the agency meeting left me exhausted. Not One Apology 😑 Despite All the paperwork I Had to do that has a Deadline for the council I simply couldn't do it. I had to go back to bed where I slept 3 hours! I feel rough as hell and learnt that one of my carers has pneumonia, wow. Me with tonnes of autoimmune diseases and ( Read more... )

Another day passes in illness or really more illness than usual. I slept this afternoon, carer woke me when she arrived for tea, I spoke to my mum and then pretty much did very little (which I find deeply frustrating) and came to bed extremely early for me. Then woke 10ish and posted a bit here, then tablets then bed. Now I'm awake again. I feel ( Read more... )

I've been ill with this cold for 2 weeks now, I didn't think it was that long but an appointment I'd had to postpone 2 weeks ago is due tomorrow! Not helping my situation, we've had to switch the central heating and hot water off, it's running on fumes from the oil tank now and the boiler is choking the kitchen with horrendous fumes. I've not ( Read more... )

I've had a pretty ferocious cold these last few days. Spoke to Tilly earlier when I announced that I was feeling 'gropey' rather than ropey and my main pureed food supplier rang earlier asking if Rowena was fine and did she need to order this week? Bizarrely I answered that Rowena was OK and she didn't need to order thank you! Got off the phone and ( Read more... )

So I ask the Agency NOT to send Sandwich Girl here again after 5 visits in which she still doesn't know what to do, can't find anything. And so they sent her here today (well yesterday now) , claiming they had to do a last minute change due to having a New girl who'd never been to mine (or from the sound of it Had any on the spot training at all ( ( Read more... )

Before the major hypoglycemic crash of last Sunday tea time I had Sandwich Girl & Sage here for the lunch call. It was Sages first call here but it was Sandwich Girls 4th visit! She is kind, caring & wants to get things right-but she's in the wrong job. She forgot where the commode & humidifier were, how to do them, tripped over the cat water ( Read more... )

By the time agency got to me Sunday after 7.20pm,I'd crashed with hypoglycaemia with double vision in my left eye, extreme head pain same side & could barely speak. They set to efficiently but they'd caused it ( Read more... )

I didn't mention here but the agency didn't turn up until a staggering 6.55pm again for my tea call. My carer thought that terrible, in a few minutes some of the early night time bed calls would be starting, he couldn't believe that they hadn't yet started my tea call. And me with hypoglycaemia too. Last week I felt so poorly from waiting so long ( Read more... )
