boooooorrring.

maurice and i went to the dollar store today. we go there often because it's close and we don't have anything better to do.
i feel myself baring more of my weight. i've had some of my pca's tell me that i was standing up more straight. i made a pca (who just started working at the assisted living program that i'm in) fall over as she was transferring in the bathroom. she seemed to think that she needed to carry me because i could feel her arms shaking like she was trying to carry me like i was a baby or something. i told her that she didn't need to carry me and that i could bare my own weight, that's before she nearly dropped me but i was strong enough to catch my fall. what does she expect? i have a walker and a standing frame. of course i can bare a little weight but i'm still in a wheelchair, so i do need a little assistance.
i always get stuck with the new pca's who don't know how to do the job and i don't have the patience to deal with a beginner. i find myself getting assigned to all the beginners, it's kind of annoying. the supervisor must think that if the beginning pca can work with me, they can work with anyone.
i wasn't able to swim yesterday when i went to the courage center for swimming. the physical therapist that i usually have on thursdays was on vacation and the instructor that was supposed to fill in for him was double booked and was working with the other client when i finally found out what was happening from the supervisor of the pool therapy program. the supervisor asked another therapist to work with me til the next person that they were supposed to see came. i only got about 5-10 minutes of therapy, better than nothing, i suppose. i didn't get to walk with my walker in the morning at my apartment in the morning to start off with. the maintenance man was stripping the floor on my floor, so i wasn't able to walk in the morning when they were stripping the floor. that just figures.
