Meet Laura, my new nurse :-)

I have been worried about the possibility of having to

go into assisted living and giving up this place, which

I really don't want to do...So.. I called Southern Care

which is a hospice. Their plan is to keep clients at

home as long as possible.. I met with Mandy and I

now have a new nurse, Laura that will be coming

twice a week and not Gail...Laura is so very nice

and has my best interests at heart which I am most

grateful...

So many think of hospice as dying, which in a sense

I am on limited time..but I told her I hope I have at

least the 20 years more that I want.. Hospice takes

the place of the expensive hospital or institution care.

They provide helpers for daily things and a nurse and

are on call 24-7 which makes me feel better..I think I

did the right thing in doing this.. Travis called them

for me first and then they came to evaluate me..This

is a good thing ... Oh, that's Laura's photo.. shes so

pretty and has a 4 year old daughter that is a beauty,

I saw photos.. Plus Laura has 2 cats and a dog.. I

sure wish I could have a dog, but I'm not sure how my

boys would react..they hated Jerky..Sad news about

Jerky, Dawn let him out, he ran into the road and was

killed.. Poor dog.. he was a good one..

Today I am feeling better, I got into a heated discussion

and had to file a complaint with COA.. Sonia came for

my 6month interview, since I get meals on wheels.. I

told her I was feeling REALLY bad and I was in a very

bad mood.. Apparently she went back to COA and told

her boss Katy that I was crabby and in a bad mood who

THEN told the driver that delivers the meals! Well the

driver told Penny when she brought the dinners what she

was told.. I got SO MAD! That Katy had NO right to relay

that info on to the driver, and I told her so.. They violated

my rights.. Katy apologized, which to me is useless its

only words and cant erase how mad I got... I don't need

this stress.. I know it better not happen again...

47 degrees at 9 am this morning and the sun is out. I'm

glad spring is on the way, My boy promised to build a

deck for me when the snow is gone.. I cant wait...

That's all the news for today I had to bring y'all up to date

on me as to what is happening.. I still have a cold that is

making me feel crappy hopefully it will clear up and I

will again be the GORGEOUS WEEBLE !! :-) Iwill be

back !


Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
