Just got a call for gentleman in town  He is a friend to my Fred that I lost last year at this time, hopefully it will go well. Per his daughter (and actually everybody I've talked to) he can be grumpy. Grumpy I can deal with plain old mean I can't. Hopefully it will work out, I should start next week sometime, he's through the VA so not sure how long their paperwork takes. Wish me luck |

I also got a reply back from a man I've been waiting to hear from. His big concern is his mother eating, if I move the new guy 1/2hr I can go to her place and make a couple of meals then be back to town for the new guy. We'll see |

Grumpy old men are easy to deal with. just smile and tell them they are handsome. the va is a great place to work and they are relliable and want the best for their people
good for you and see, all works out. out with the old meanie lady and in with two men. they are easier

Not sure the new lady is going to work. Her son is concerned about lunch and dinner but if I start the new guy next week there will be a time issue. The new lady lives in the same city as my current lady the new man lives in the same town that I do. Running back and forth is just not a possibility, we shall see though Iam trying not to stress.
I did call the Caseworker again this afternoon and am waiting for a call back. She did resubmit the paperwork so that the lost check comes directly to me, still waiting to find out about the "stolen" October check. We may have to get a lawyer but other than the principle of it will it be worth it? the check is roughly $560 by the time you get a lawyer and court costs would we even get $50 back? Hopefully she will call me back with good news this afternoon.

So no news on the new lady, her son is really busy he is a brand new Grandpa!!! No news yet on the new guy in town either I will probally call his daughter tonite and just touch base with her.
I do have a "sometimes" couple that have been am and then pm however he was just transported to the hospital. Prayers for them please! He seems to be ok but had a fall a few days ago nad his arm is really very painfull. this will be a short term job no matter what though, he is large and can't help me much with transfers, I told his wife it's just not safe for either one of us. Not sure what she is going to do but I'll help as much as I can.

LD sometimes I don't know how I do it! "Bob" was sent home from the hospital , his wife was told you need to do this and you need to that...NOBODY told her how to go about it though. Full of suggestions as to what should be done but no help for her to do it. She knows she can't care for him at home. I don't think it would be a good idea even if I could be there 24/7. I don't know, we'll get through it the best we can. At least they have family that cares about them, right now Iam just waiting for transport to bring him back home then I'll go back and help get him to bed. There has got to be an easier way to get through this red tape!!

It seems the older we get the more red tape. and the real seniors over 75 are getting the run around and sometimes they just do not know what to do and sit home and suffer. thanks to people like you the seniors your caring for are getting the help they need.

Transfers went much much better tonite, he did better and we are getting used to each other. There is most def. a learning curve in each new house even if what you do at several houses is basically the same. I told his wife I could stay longer during the day it won't be an issue just need to leave by 530 to pick Levi up from practice. She seems relieved with that and was very appreciative for all I do....transfers and talking to her. I guess though sometimes we just need a shoulder to lean on and somebody to talk to. I don't have much advice I've always stayed away from the red tape part of things. With my temper getting into red tape could be bad, I really don't think it's a good idea to be telling Dr.s and such off....which I probally would if I hit a brick wall with htem. Anyway Iam off to bed , Iam really tired, sorry if 1/2 my words are backwards you get the jist anway right?
