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.
SusiHey, how are you? Paddywell, when i woke up it was brilliant. in the meantime my face hurts 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 look that fast.mask opens every 5 minutes because it is so tight

SusiIt should run quietly Paddyanother 5 times in the meantime. I was almost going to post this chat, but it seems almost a bit monotonous 🙄 At least he just noticed that he forgot to put me in bed this morning and that I've been lying in the same place all day without any blankets. Susi
The afternoon is finally drawing to a close....
