Please bear with me at this time. I have a lot to share, but not the time or schedule to write. I need to take a break for a while and get through what I deal without getting overwhelmed during the holiday season between Halloween and New Year’s Day. I wanted to let you know that. I am not going anywhere else to write in my journal. Today is the first time in a while since I have really written anything. I wanted my diary friends and readers to know I’m okay even though last Wednesday, December 11th I had an accident on the dialysis unit floor that sent me to the ER to make sure I did nothing more than get a bump on my forehead because I took a tumble to the hard, cement floor. failing to sit properly in my power chair after weighing in that morning for treatment. My caregiver, Jackie, was pissed when she met me at the ER. She was not mad at me, but mad at the dia team for not being careful enough to keep me safe from falling. What happened was an act of stupidity with my power chair. What the hell happened to their the safety measures in my behalf? I guess it went out the window. More about it when I come back.

- From:Ksmiley/LittleKrissiOn:Tue Dec 17 2024My 82 year old dad, my 80 year old mom, and my caregivers Jackie and Deb are unhappy with the dialysis team these days because of the ongoing crap I deal with. I go to treatment because otherwise I will die and I know the consequences of my health if I don’t go to treatment. I hate going, but get up every treatment day and go because it does help me and I have a life even though I am tethered to a machine 3x a week at 2 hours and 45 minutes. If my safety is compromised in some way, I question my surroundings … who wouldn’t after a fall like that? A mind that doesn’t understand is the answer. I am questioning my care at MercyHealth is no longer trusted. I have a neighbor here who goes to the hospital a lot and now the ER is turning her away and not helping her because she is not watching out her own health and needs to be in assisted living care facility

- From:Ksmiley/LittleKrissiOn:Tue Dec 17 2024I will be back! The holidays between Halloween and New Years is kind of stressful for me. It has been this way for years, since I lived on my own from December 1989-present. I loved going to parties and celebrate birthdays, and other occasions, but today not so much. I do not know why per se, but there is more than one reason why, I can’t pinpoint the main reason. I have seen a lot of death or lost some friends since I have been on my own. I still have my mom and dad, and tbeir spouses, but they are 82, 74, 80, and 73. Not young anymore and healthy and happy. My dad had a heart attack years ago because he had three blockages repaired by stints. I have a love/hate relationship with my dad, but grateful he is still alive despite the family dynamics are not good in my family. Being able to observe my surroundings very well, I have heard and seen my share issues. I deal with anxiety and depression on a regular basis and despite it sucking at times, I live my life the best I can
