This should have been a completely different post with my photo of the month. But somehow my chat today with a friend, let's call her Susi, fits my mood better. Actually, my day service should be filling out a pain log. Numerous, to be exact. But to do that, he would first have to understand that... and here I am lost for words. The mask only opens on its own when it's been tightened way too tight? That it hurts? It feels like my teeth are wobbling. My cheeks hurt, my eyes are watering non-stop. My decubitus ulcer under the band behind my ear is growing and thriving. No wonder, with the pressure.
Under all the stress of constantly closing the mask again instead of putting it on just once, you can then of course forget all the other things. Positioning the patient, for example. Or giving food. Meds? Only if I remember to. We forget about suctioning and changing paper bibs nowadays, it doesn't make any difference any more anyway, as wet as everything is that I'm lying on.
Again I find myself confronted with the fact that the last half hour was suddenly really okay again. For whatever reason, I have just been stored for the first time today without being asked. And I got a fresh paper. But it's already 8:44 p.m. and the other eleven hours I was awake won't get better. Just as a wound under the bandage of the mask doesn't just disappear again or my gums grow back. Gums stupidly don't.
Before I become rude, I'll hand over the floor to my younger self. By the way, the conversation only starts in the afternoon. Which was no different from the morning. Just a side note.
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]How are you?
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]well, when I woke up, it was brilliant. in the meantime, my face is already hurting again from the mask. robert was really motivated for the first half hour and then it suddenly went so steeply downhill again, you don't even look that fast
mask opens every 5 minutes because it is so tight
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]Oh man 🤦🏼♀
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]Something really cool to read on Saturday 😉
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]Oh ha 😱 I'm curious
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]is not about care services and not about the environment
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]😳😳😳😳what's going on there
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]and open again
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]Insanity 🤦🏼♀
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]I'll play the game now and say no more. Let's see how many more times we run instead of just making a tiny bit of effort when judging
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]I'm curious whether the learning effect will materialise🙈
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]nope, I've been outsmarted. at some point it's so tight that the train on the belt holds it again
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]😳🙄🙈
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]Now it has risen again after all
and walked again, loosened up a bit more than before and went to smoke unfortunately have to call him again, blows in the eye and machine alarms even more than before
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]He should run quietly
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]another 5 times in the meantime. I was almost going to post this chat, but it seems a bit monotonous to me 🙄 Just realised that he forgot to put me down this morning and I've been lying in the same place all day without any blankets
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]
The afternoon is finally drawing to a close....
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]3 hours to go
My drool is already coming out through the pillow behind my head, even though he has already turned it upside down 🙄
open again. Called twice, no reaction. Alarm, he comes running and whines at me - quote - "what's up?".
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]really need a plan. Care services are all shit, it can't go on like this
and open again 😊 I'll stop writing every time now
[su_label type="warning"]Susi[/su_label]It's really unbelievable 🤦🏼♀ I don't even know what to say
[su_label type="default"]Paddy[/su_label]ja nix
there is nothing more to say
