Saturday 12/23/23

7:59a.m. I had a good night for a change. I had no weird or disturbing dreams. Also I wasn’t troubled with arthritis. I didn’t read last night. I fell asleep right after I finished talking with Chocolatechip. I think I slept through the night. I was dressed and in my wheelchair by 4:30. I fell asleep in my .chair waking up at six.

I called Chocolatechip. She was worried about that injection on December, 27. She wants me to contact her family in case anything happens. She will give me Elaine’s phone number. Again I said I have a bad feeling about this shot. I said it seems to me it’s more trouble than its worth. But Chocolatechip trusts het doctor. She is willing to take the chance. 

We talked for awhile about this topic. The conversation ended when I said I really hope the shot helps. I went back to after our talk. I woke up when they served breakfast. I had a i cake and cold scrambled eggs. I also had two cups of coffee and an orangei juice. I’m finally awake thanks to the coffee. 

I just talked with an aide. They are going to put me back in bed. I hope it isn’t for the day. I like to stay in my wheelchair in the morning. I need changed but I’m not ready for bed. I’d like to go to the coffee social if they have one.

9:38a.m. I’m in bed for the day. So I won’t be going to the coffee social. The aide who put me to bed was asking a lot of personal questions. Am I married? Do I have kids? Do I have a girlfriend? I said yes to all three I will say they did a good job. They cleaned me up pretty good and changed my briefs. I’m getting great care today.

I talked with Chocolatechip. She got a of Christmas presents from her family. I hope you get a new keyboard for your computer I said. The old one isn’t working properly. Her daughter Anne said she will get her one this year. We also talked about lunch at the nursing home. They are serving Philly cheese steak sandwiches and tater tots. Then we talked about bed bugs. Chocolatechip killed two this morning. Then she said she is fighting a cold. I said I hope you are not getting sick. We talked for a few minutes then she wanted to lie down.

Damn they are having the Coffee Social. I am going to miss it today. I like having coffee in the Fiesta Room. It is a nice cheerful room. Plus i am around people even if I think they talk about me. I like to take my tablet there and read or write in my journal. But the main attraction is the coffee. I need two of three cups to get me going in the morning.

2:16p.m.I’m feeling very depressed. I’ve been laying in bed thinking about all kinds of shit. I think I’m down because I still have no visitors or Christmas presents. I kept wondering why have no friends other than Chocolatechip. I kept wondering and thinking that I must of done some very terrible things for my family to disown me. I said to myself I must be a real no good sob. 

I guess I was having a massive pity party. I’m over it now. Sometimes my mood fluctuates for no reason. I was able to eat my lunch . It was delicious. I got to talking with Chocolatechip and that made me feel better. Then I got changed. All of this helped put me in a better mood. 

6:23p.m. I had a lazy afternoon. I just laid in bed and talked with Chocolatechip. I had a good time doing that much. I also had a good aide. My briefs were changed two or three times. Supper was ok. They served roast chicken, sweet potatoes, peas. a dinner roll and  cinnamon apples for dessert. The chicken was a bit dry but ok. At least I had something to eat.

Today was a good day for the most part. I spent  most of the day talking with Chocolateschip. She always puts me in a good mood. Then I had three good meals. The care was excellent. I had one bad bout of depression but it quickly passed. It just doesn’t get any better
