Where is the aide?

I haven't had a shower in six days.  Yuck!!!  With the state and federal cutbacks, the home health agencies can only afford inexpericed kids who only stick around for a month or so.  Now the agency does not require certified nursing assistant training.  They will hire anyone who passes the drug screen and will work for minimum wage.  It takes a few weeks to figure out that half of the pay goes into their gas tank.  I seem to get a new one about every month.  I got one fired for stealing $25.00 from me a few months back. Oh well, the Buckeyes won last night so all is well with the world.  Have a great day.

I am still around!!

I am thrilled to say that the spinal cord simulator is a çomplete success.  The sciatica pain is totally gone.   Sadly, it does not effect the other sources.  My pain doc is now talking about a morphine pump for the upper back and neck.  It will be a challenge to find a nearby surgeon to do the work. My back is a bit of a mess after twelve surgeries.  I am anxious to move about again.  Fingers crossed.
