Early, again, and not

 

That was an early morning. 
I woke up from cramps in my left leg.
I know from before that I'd better start moving around, than getting rid of the cramps and trying to sleep again.

As I have to find a place for the new clock, I had removed the former clock yesterday evening.

The new clock is too heavy to hang it there myself.

Suddenly I thought it would be a good idea to put something else on that small wall beside the window.

A while ago I got a present from an english friend and his wife: an iron cut out of the RAF logo at a large size, with an extra addition of our name.

I tried the Logo on the wall...and it looked great.
There was a small shelf beside it with a few little things.
Now there is a photoframe with dad's medals.

In fact they are not his, as my mother threw them away. Son2 bought them on internet.
So I am not only honoring my dad, but also an unknown army man.

I know one of the english men can mount them the way they should be mounted. I'll ask him when I am in England. Maybe take the medals with me.

The medal I got from the very unkind man of the MOD looks so very artificial! I'll keep that in the box.

Last week there was a problem between son4 and one of the carepersons of the protected living building.

We have had problems with her in the past, which went skyhigh... meaning there was a meeting with the complaints person, locationleader, psychologist, the personal caregiver, me, the woman in question and my son.
So quite a meeting.

The first time I saw the woman I understood my son's complaints immediately, and when she started to tell her side of the story.. even more.
She only hears part of what is said, fills in the gaps with her imagination, so comes to a complete different story. (I know that from one of my sons, when he was young.) I asked the same question twice, and both time I didn't get a reply at all...also much to the surprise of the psychologist.
She lacks empathy. She is not client-directed, but self-directed. Which made me wonder why on earth she had chosen that profession.

In the meantime I know more of her. 
She should get the Gossip trophee!!

This time she was apping with my son and reacted completely wrong, unkind and unprofessional.
When he said something about it she told him he was lying.
(She did that before. During the meeting my son said she would not be good as a personal carer, but would be OK for him as a normal carer. No problems there. But she keeps saying he doesn't want her as a a carer at all.)

My son copied the app and send it to her again.
She started a row.
He pointed that out.
She said she would not come when he would have a problem or a request.
My son pointed out that he would tell the locationleader, so she can always have someone else in the house when this woman will be assigned as his carer.

She deleted the apps.

But my son had already copied the whole conversation...screenshots and all.

So he informed me and the location leader.

She told the locationleader that my son was lying.... but kept her mouth shut when the screenshots were shown.

Today we heard that she had had a reprimande...
I feel she should have been told to get new training, or be assigned to desk tasks at another location.
Not showing up when a client needs assistance is work-refusal, as we call it here, and one can get dismissed on the spot.

So we think it's just waiting for the next problem with her, either with my son or another client. As more experience problems with her.

Decided to get a selfmade walldecoration down and hang something else that is at a different place on the wall at that hook.
Can't reach far enough......

There is no good hook at a good place for the clock.
I wonder how long it will take before that clock hangs.

Update: Just heard: "Next week".

Suddenly got an sms from the hospital.
Phone appointment on monday afternoon.
Huh?

From the doctor who told me my back is a mess.

After his..eh.."diagnosis", I contacted him with some more information. Among it a diagonal epidural... Which couldn't be explained at the time, but can be explained now.
I got a reply from a secretary, that she had added the letter to my files. He was on vacation.
I said that I didn't care about the letter...the facts I wanted to be added to the anamnesis should be added to the anamnesis and be brought to his attention.

I don't agree the back problem is degenerative... it's inborn!
