I think I really like this job Mood
Thursday, September 3, 2009 | A General Update story

Hey all havn't written in awhile have been busy with work and by the time I come home and cook just to tired. This has been a really good week though I really like the residents I have had this week and hope to maybe get them permantly have wait and see since I am still real new, but one of them actually is going to request I be her regular aide when ever I am working how cool was that? I felt really good about that especially since she is real picky about who takes care of her.

Well I started going to a 6 week support group more for my friend then me I really enjoy this site and when I need it I come here but, this was week 5 and we all 6 of us in the group all wrote a poem about our love ones and they had a music therapist come in and play guiater and sing them it was awesome I thought my poem was kinda dumb till she put it to music what a deference!!! Like I said it's not great but I am going to share it here with you all here goes:

 

One day God come along be patient he said a love thats strong will come along.

 

I was patient and along come Bobby a love that was strong.

 

Before long God come along he said be strong because the love for Bobby will be long even though I need him to come along now.

 

My Love for Bobby is still strong even though he went along with God.

 

I know it sounds kinda dumb but I just wrote what was in my heart.

I Love You Bobby Be At The Gate When I Get There!!

Love You Baby Doll Mar

    It is beautiful because it shows how much you love him. I also ask my husband to be at the gate waiting for me and I told my daughter that not even speedy gonzales or the best olympic sprinter will be able to win that race because I will be in my husband's arms faster than any of them. I miss him so much. God bless you. Lots of hugs Linda

New Job Mood
Saturday, August 22, 2009 | A General Update story

 

Hey Ya'll well I made it through my 1st week at the nursing home I really think that Bobby knew there were people out there that needed someone to touch thier lives and that's why he wanted me to go back to school for some kind of degree in the medical field. I don't think that highly of myself but, I do feel my purpose is to help some of these residents that have noone and are so very very lonely to have some comfort. Please Please NEVER EVER put me in a nursing home!!!! I know that old or sick people can and are a huge pain in the ass but, they are people with feeling also most not all CNA's are over worked over stressed and have just lost the compassion they need to do the job right. I take the time to listen to the residents to be a little gentlier with them maybe because I am still new but God please if I ever get to the point must of the CNA's are at let me quit this field and do something else treat them like you would want your own parents treated. Working is helping by the time I get home make supper I am just to tired to do much thinking so I don't get myself as worked up as before it has been a little over 8 months now and I still miss the very soul and love of my life something awful but I have less time or energy to dwell on that now. I have been attending a grief support meeting we meet for 6 weeks and I started going to help my neighbor deal with her Dad's death but it is ok I have meet some nice people or understand and a couple of whacks but it's interesting to see how we all deal with this! TomorrowI will go and visit my old home health people as I have not seen them in a couple of weeks now and just want to say Hi and see how they are doing especially Roger and his Mom I really worry about them alot. Well thats it for now.

I Love You Bobby Be At The Gate When I Get There!!

Love You Baby Mar

    I am glad you have found a new call and you are right about some of the CNA's being less caring about the patients. It is already hard to be in a nursing home, no visitors and being ill treated that is wrong. My husband was in a sub-acute unit for about 11 days before he passed away and I had 24 hours round the clock care for him for that same reason. I spent at least 17-20 hours a day myself with him and there were several times that I had to go looking for help to turn him over every 4 hours to avoid bed sore. Some nurse were gentle and others were rough and I had to call there attention to it. I told my kids never to put me in a nursing home. Keep up the good work and you are an angel to some of those people in there. God bless you. Bob is proud of you. Lots of hugs Linda
