Surfin through
Good morning, it’s me … but almost the afternoon. I have only a short time to write … I’ve just come out of a meeting, and I will have another 15 minutes after my lunch break (I’m on now).I think I have a big reprimand coming. Sr. Theresa went to the Pumpkin patch with about 20 clients, but earlier there was a medical emergency where an ambulance was called for one of my clients, but I’d missed it because I had come in late. She is the client we’ve been worried about because of the low numbers for diabetes. It was bound to happen sooner than later, the numbers were just too low.
Brandi said she walked into the workshop at 7:30 am, took one look at the client and she knew she was in trouble. She said she had a hard time convincing Sister to call 911. Sr. said just give her some orange juice, but the client fell on her knees twice. Sr. told the DSP that she wouldn’t call, but that the DSP could, but it was said sarcastically. I haven’t heard Sr.’s side of the story. I know that the client has been down to 27 and around there, which is very dangerous. We wrote a note to the family saying she needs more fruit or fruit juices in the morning, but I told sister and she said that I shouldn’t have wrote it. Sr. also said that we shouldn’t read the meter before 9:30, although the client was coming in with obvious problems before that.
I know that this will be blamed on me, because I was late. About the time the paramedics were here, Candice was just coming in so Sister sent her, but the reality was that Candice would have gone anyway, because I don’t know the being required to walk situation. I also don’t think sister trusts much of what we have to say, nor does she think we can respond well in an emergency. I guess she would be right in thinking the first step is to be here. We overslept. We woke up this morning at 7:30, the same time this was going on. I don’t know … I know things happen the way they do for a reason. I had gone back to bed at 9 pm last night, but had waked up for about an hour in the middle of the morning. I can’t do anything about what has passed.
Maybe I better get a bite of sandwich before I go into the group, hold on. WooHoo!
I forgot, Rich gave us pizza today. This is a good thing. I am only going to do the group at noon, and then I’m going to leave for the day to a doctor appointment.
I have a 2 pm with the pharmacist and a 2:15 with Dr. Albright. They are concerned about the cholesterol medicine. I’m not getting it though. If I’ve got too much in my system, then shouldn’t the doctor just prescribe the correct amount?
Ahh … I just caught on … the group I would be teaching this afternoon is at the pumpkin patch with Sr. Hmm, that’s interesting … then I could probably get some work done. What should I try? Something either on annuals or Qnotes. I’m going to need redoing the annual I had this morning for the uncle on Monday at 10 am to catch him up on what he missed by not being there. I would like to get that annual written out, but I have one that is longer outstanding. I don’t remember who it was though. Have to think that through.
Hmm, well we got most of annual report done that was back dated, but then sister came in to catch up with Candice and us. Mostly on the person in the hospital and then another client was hit by someone while he was at his job site. And, there was other news to catch up to too. But, alas time to go … better gather up and scadaddle.
