Florence Nightingale comes to visit

Hello!


My bath is gonna be taking place at 1 PM today and for tomorrow I already made bus reservations, get this they are coming to pick me up at 6:30 in the morning, 6:30! My appointment is at eight but I guess I'll have to share the bus again with some other handicaps, no no I am not belittling them. I'm just stating the facts that other disabled people are going to be riding the bus and probably getting off before me! I have to bring the names of the medications I take as well as any questions I might have and you know which one will be on my mind "am I gonna die?"


In other news, the keyboard that my old colleague brought to me will not be useful for my computer! It is the old type of keyboard with a PS2 connector and not a USB. The mouse... Hold the presses! I know you're not gonna believe me, but I just got interrupted by somebody from the CLSC


I know you didn't see this but as I was dictating away a nurse from the CLSC came and she wanted to change the catheter, again, I just had my catheter changed at the hospital two days ago so I had to tell her that the catheter had been changed but she insisted on at least doing an irrigation. Irrigation is when they disconnect the pee bag from the catheter and then insert water through the catheter to wash it and wash my bladder. Since my chair can tilt to about 40° she decided it wasn't needed for me to go to bed, I just tilted and she did the procedure. I also asked a lot of questions about an internal catheter she told me that it was the best thing for people like me that have a lot of infections, it reassured me a bit but there's still the thing about the anesthesia...


Take care homies!


PS the mouse seems to be an USB mouse so there shouldn't be a problem.
