ok, I have to throw out some questions that bug the hell out of me when people ask them
how are you doing?
everything all right?
whats wrong?
are you ok?
is this bothering you?
should I get you something?
is that because of your medications?
should you be doing that?
__
and in the hospital the generic questions they ask you every day
1. Do you have any pain at the moment
2. are you eating
3. have you went to the bathroom today (?)
4. did you sleep
5. did you take our meds today
6. do you have any homicidal thoughts?
7. did you participate in RT?
8. have you seen your doctor?
9. Do you have any suicidal thoughts?
10. are the staff treating well?
11. anything else on your mind?
_ Now I know they need to ask those questions but why hide those questions between the filler question?
trust me, I know what I can and cannot do.
I know you care about me but damn, I am ok and if I am not I will TELL YOU!
grrrrrr......

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
or when i get a new therapist and they are to lazy to read my chart!
my whole damn life story is in that fat assed binder, everything is in there because I have seen it.
AND the one that REALLY sets me off " are you still working?"
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or mum goes, are you loosing more weight?????
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But your pants have a baggy arse!
SO AND YOUR POINT BEING? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a mothers job to worry.
OK.
can I hear them?
is he sitting right there?
what kind of voice does he have?
after a while of being asked these questions I started to screw with them,
yes I was hearing stuff. but oddly the voice sounds like Laurence Fishburne and he does not like you.
stupid questions some times get stupid answers
Ooh and when ppl ask me if I have taken my meds? That gets me too.
This drives me up the wall. I didn't know I had to go through 20 questions before they take me seriously.
