I’m Pretty Sure I Would Have Remembered That
I’ll get into why I haven’t had Internet access for awhile later, but right now I must vent a little (OK, maybe a lot)!
Tonight I asked the nurse what was happening with my bowel program. I’ve been having so many spasms recently they deemed it unsafe for me to get in the chair I use to do it and I was wondering if it was happening in bed or in the chair. That’s when my nurse informed me that I had “moved my bowels” this morning! Well, if I did it was news to me! I’m pretty sure I’d remember someone coming into the room, takin my pants off and sticking an enema up my butt even though I can’t feel it!
Instead of taking my word for it the head nurse called another nurse that was working today to get the phone number for the nurse I had today to ask her if my bowel program was done or not!
After all that, it was determined that my memory is indeed still intact and that I didn’t have my bowel program or any type of accident. So much for actually listening to the sane patient and not wasting time… I guess that makes too much sense, and we all know how Eastern Health was behind the door when the sense was passed out!
Chloe, 
Ellen are discussing.

Ok, I must know. Isn’t there some kind of chart or log the staff there is supposed to fill out or notate when things/procedures get done? And if not, maybe suggesting it to the ‘head nurse’ would be an idea. Could be a good way to not waste time.

It’s suppose to be written in the patient’s chart. I think they may have gotten me and the girl who was moved from this room mixed up or something in this case. I’m lucky it wasn’t anything serious and that it was straightened out. Sometimes the nurses will write things in just before they do them instead of after too.

I’m glad that you’re back! And I’m glad that somebody (you) is on top of things even if nobody else is. But how do you know they don’t do your bowel program while you’re asleep?

Thanks Chloe, I’m glad to be back and that you’re still here! I know because I never gave them permission and if I ever found out they did I would not stop until they lost their job permanently!

Note to self: Do not give Kim a surprise hair cut while she’s sleeping.

Are you saying there’s a problem with my hair? lol! Also, remember I can feel my head!

Well, you did say recently that you were thinking about a new hair cut. Did you get it yet?
