me? shut the hell up?
i pulled my cord for assistance in my bathroom today at 4:00, gladys didn't come to my room until 4:15 and i told her that i wanted to start my walking for the day, range of motion, and standing frame. well.. here comes brooke rolling around the hallway wanting to be repositioned in her wheelchair (since she can't do it herself). gladys repositions her and takes me to the bathroom (my routine for walking- i always go to the bathroom before i walk). i say to gladys, "i pulled my string 15 minutes ago and you didn't come.." she said, "YOU KNOW YOUR REGULAR TIME TO WALK IS AT 4:15." and i answer, "yeah, ever since when?" she says, "EVER SINCE I STARTED WORKING HERE. JUST SHUT THE HELL UP." i finish going to the bathroom and then i do my lifts with my reacher to start my range of motion. after that, i start to wheel over to the couch to do my sit-to-stands with my walker. then gladys opens my door twice and the second time she finally hears the paging sound going off (when a client pulls their cord for help, it was almost as if she was waiting to help someone else and she wanted to get outta my apartment as soon as possible). she leaves my room and comes back almost 20 minutes later and i say to her (annoyed), "IS THERE ANYONE ELSE YOU WANNA HELP?" then she tells me that she isn't going to help me til i change my attitude and walks outta my room. she hasn't been back since, i called killian (the nurse) and told him and my grandma what happened and my grandma said that she recorded it in her book.
