Developing a cold could be your body giving you an excuse to REST. Congratulations on yelling appropriately and saving people from getting hurt! So hard for you and and Namana - some docs always want to change things around to 'put their name on the chart' or something. Some too, are as sensitive as adolescents when asked to consider the possibility that their actions aren't helping the overall situation. For now it may be that your best bet is to sit back and let them deal with it.
 
Yes, rest can make a big difference. Good to hear that you're feeling better, and that the problems are on their way to being resolved.
 
Hoping things continue to get resolved and improved as the days go by. I suspect some quiet days at the farm help you feel better too.

Thanks to the WonderCafe members who have been listening and supporting me. I am now becoming convinced that our problems at College Park 2 are being resolved and I seem to be well on the way to recovery from my cold.

It was not until I upset the apple cart by yelling at the Home Care supervisor that the family and others involved paid much attention to what I had to say. Since then they are hard at work helping me resolve the situation.
 
Good news Naman that all of you are working together to find resolution. Sending energy for your continuing journey.
 
Good to hear positive news Naman. Sure is funny how others ignore a situation until the person handling it 'loses it' and blasts out some truths! I think too, that those who work in 'systems' get so involved in their protocols that they completely lose track of what they are actually there for.

Here I grin a bit recalling the elderly caregiver who kept asking for help from Home Care - without success. Her partner kept 'escaping' and she was getting too tired from heading out to look for him and get him covered up and home again. Nothing happened until it happened when a friend was visiting for tea. The friend got angry on her behalf and phoned the cops because there was a naked man standing in the middle of the road!. That brought some action!
 
Negotiations have been continuing over the weekend. Unfortunately it has been established that the next step is to accept some sort of long term care for Namana. And that it must not require to me to be close by all the time. But it is going to be difficult for Namana to accept my not being with her all the time.

Namana has been happy with the present arrangement so long as I remained close by.
 
Hoping everyone involved in Nama's care take their duties seriously and lovingly. I agree that you deserve a life apart from her some of the time. You have worked diligently to ensure she is offered opportunities to be happy and safe. Try to relax a bit now.

I can imagine that. Would a regular schedule, like you staying with her on weekends, then returning to trailer, be possible?

That's a tough change. I hope you're both able to adjust well once it does happen.
 
Thanks for the comments. I have been busy attending to the proceedings and not spending much time hanging around WonderCafe2.

Some sort of resolution should be established this afternoon.
 
I am happy to report that rather than placing Namana in long term care, we will be staying together in our suite and the National Home Care caregivers and nurses will be checking on Namana throughout the day and administering all her medications and making sure that she is up dressed and heading down for meals and and other events and I will be free to remain close by or be away when I want to. Hopefully this will give her and me reassurance that I can come and go as I please, knowing that she is getting the care she needs both when I am close by and when I am away. This is pretty much the same care as is already being given to some of the unmarried residents living alone in their suites.
