6:15 AM - Out for a walk/run for my morning break
6:45 AM - Breakfast for mom and me
WOW!! What a crappy day it was today. I asked to get my ankle wound care to get done before my shower because I needed my splint put back on. Buzzed the front at 8:30 am and again at 9 am. They said they'll be right in. So, I got my shower before the splint was put on and so I had to be really careful not to get the leg wet. I also didn't want to stand in the shower even with my walker due to being afraid of not having any protection to the ankle. After I got back to my room I buzzed again to get my wound care and splint put back on. I worked on my lady bug tea cozy and got the binding done while I was waiting for a nurse to show up. 10 am - 10:30 am - 11 am - 11:30 am were my buzz times to the nurses station. Ailbe had to go out and I waited for a long time to get the splint on that I finally took him out at 11:15 am for his morning walk. Finally, around 11:40 the nurse came in and said that no one told me that I had you today. Well, I was now 1 1/2 hours late getting my morning meds. It was also lunch time. She got the splint on till she could do the wound care afterwards. I was 15 minutes late for lunch in the dining room and then have a dietary worker said "why are you late" .. I said I had to wait for medical care. Basically it was none of his business. When I got back to my room I was tired and had to wait for the nurse to show up to do the wound care and give me my morning meds. Finally at 2 PM I laid down and was constantly disturbed which made me even more grumpy.
After Ailbe was fed we went out for a walk about an hour after he was done eating. I watched a couple shows before I decided it was time for lights out. Took Ailbe out for his last walk around 10 pm and then I got ready for bed. Nurse came in for my meds and I just got in bed to finally get some sleep. See you all tomorrow...
