A Flood In My Apartment!
Thursday, October 7, 2010 - 4:15 P.M.
This will be a short entry since I am at my sister's house and using her laptop.
Late yesterday afternoon, four repairmen came to check the leak in the sprinkler syfstem at my apartment. They clicked open a valve, which usually holds about a cup of water, and surprise, surprise, out gushed 20 gallons of water into my bedroom! Chemicals were then put on the carpet. Because of the odor that created, I was forced to sleep in my wheelchair, in the livingroom, overnight.
My home healthcare agency notified my niece of the situation this morning, and she made arrangements for me to stay with my sister for a few days. She even paid $41 for a taxi to bring me here. The agency is going to have my caregivers come here at morning and night until I can safely return home.
I am supposed see my doctor Monday. My foot, knee, and back are all still causing me lots of pain. Guess I have to put up with it a while longer.

Good grief.
Hugs and Mojo to you - and to your niece! Thank her very much from me!

Okay, that sounds like something that would happen to my house. I hope your stay with your sister is pleasant, sorry about the pain in your back and foot, I was really hoping you would get some relief from that.
I hope it goes well with your sister, Jim. Perhaps having someone monitor the health care agency would ease the stress on you?
I also wonder if it helps your sister to have much to do. That is a big job. Time consuming.
I wish you had more time to write. I\'ll keep thinking fondly of you and hoping for that.
I hope you have dried out from the flood. Sounds rather squishy.
Thinking of you Jim.
I have not been on ds for many moons.
I have decided to close my account.
If I do come back using another name, I hope you will be my friend again.
