Daily greets the masked beast

Pageviews: 739 Dear diary, I just can't seem to get it right. Just when you think you've had enough vomit this week... just when you think things are about to change for the better in your care... just when you're wondering whether changing care provider might not be a wise decision after all... Then it's time for another hearty...

Really? Are you serious?

Page views: 690 Dear diary, help me. I don't want to have to lie in my nursing bed again and watch a trickle of blood run from my mouth into my pillow. After all the trouble and stress I've just had because of my bleeding gums, I've had enough for the next few weeks. I already have a toothbrush ban...

Make it so difficult for me.

Page views: 753 Dear diary, I'm glad you're here. You understand me. If I disagreed with you in a factual discussion, you wouldn't insist on your opinion and harp on about it without questioning it. I would have forgotten something, I hear that several times a day. Although the balance 100% on „Patrick didn't forget anything, but carer made a mistake“...

Don't make it so difficult for yourself.

Pageviews: 667 Dear Diary, To this day, I'm still fascinated by the fact that at 43, I'm obviously already part of the age group we used to call „goths“ when I was a kid. Instagram is too much adverts and BS for me. When I talk about Facebook, my carers laugh at me. Who still has Facebook today. And yet another blog....

Tea or not to tea.

Pageviews: 786 Dear diary, it's actually an irony of fate. I never used to have a problem drinking two bottles of water between 15 gin and tonics when doing sport or partying, for example. Or at the Oktoberfest. When I remember that I used to drink ten litres in the best of times, that's unthinkable today. Today that would be...

I cleaned our toilet.

Page views: 719 Phew! Dear diary, can I even put you through this? But if not you, then who? I've been trying to meet someone in charge for weeks. PDL, GF, someone who has something to say. We've also made several appointments over the past few weeks. But without exception, all of them were cancelled by the management. Most recently, I received two new appointment proposals,...

Beetroot juice Adé.

Page views: 763 Dear diary, am I doing something wrong? So probably yes, it can't be normal. But then what am I doing wrong? Or do other patients have similar problems? I don't think so, that would be tragic to the power of ten. The bleeding has stopped. The panic still has a firm grip on me. 3 Tavor Expedit and 10 drops of morphine directly under the...

Morning pint Vodka Bull

Page views: 726 Dearest diary, you won't believe it. My carer was already packing my bag. Hospital. Because of bleeding gums? Dude! He's moderately enthusiastic about the idea of going to Munich city centre today. There in the ambulance, because the intensive care transport that was ordered has come in 0 % of the cases so far. Instead, a simple crane transport arrives without a doctor and the helpers...

Local anaesthetic? My ass.

Seitenaufrufe: 960 Guten Morgen liebes Tagebuch, die Welt hat mal wieder beschlossen, mich zu ficken. Unfuckingfassbar. Als ob der ganze Mist von Dekubitus über Atemnot bis zu 7.000,- € Forderungen meines eigenen Pflegedienstes gegen mich nicht reichen würden, setzen wir noch einen drauf. Lassen wir nicht nur Patricks Konto bluten, sondern auch sein Zahnfleisch. Wie angekündigt informiere ich einen...

For heaven's sake.

Pageviews: 749 This article is part of a series. I thought I had reached the height of idiocy when I was told that I didn't need sterile gloves to insert a urinary catheter. And then, miraculously, I had a germ down there. The theory was that it had come from the hospital and had only just been noticed. Hm, but on the tail...
