Today was a slow day at work. Jan slept most of the shift, waking up towards the end so I could give her her meds. However, tomorrow should be a big day of hospital red tape and heavy medication. She goes in for her third treatment, which was postponed from last week, and hopefully they'll go through with it. She hates missing work and school ( Read more... )

There are all these cliches about God....He has a plan, He works in mysterious ways..."it's a blessing from God". As much as I hear them, I know they are true, and yesterday was just more proof. Mom had her surgery, but only the infected section was taken out....she avoided the colostomy, despite the surgeon's prognosis. He had said that there ( Read more... )

Well, this is sure an eventful week. First, I fret about the roomate situation, then some light gets shed (and there have been a couple more people that are interested).

The above quote comes from Jan, my client at work. Besides being developmentally disabled, she has cancer and will receive her 3rd chemo treatment on Tuesday. While she is a simple lady with a simple mind, these words really meant a lot to me when she said them. They meant that she could really trust me, even though I've only been her staff ( Read more... )

Well, I was all excited for tonight because Ryan called me and told me he was coming through town on the way home for Christmas break. He and I made plans to hang out a little bit and go to dinner, and he said he'd call right before he got into town. Welllll.....dinnertime came around, and he still hadn't called. I called him a couple of times, ( Read more... )
