My Life being Disabled 27/01/11

Yesterday afternoon the engineer from Clarke and Parteners came to mend my electric wheelchair. I finished reading my book Michael Caine's second autobiography 'From the Elephant to Hollywood'. I started reading 'The hackers underground handbook'. I had Chilli-con-Carne for tea. I watched television and went to bed at 22:30.
I woke up at 05:30 and watched television until 08:15 when I told my carers that I was ready for my bladder wash. The nurse and the physio came in and told me that my moulded seat was broken but they would tell Clarke and Parteners that it was urgent. They said the home have some armchairs that I can use but another resident wants it from 14:00 - 18:00.

At lunchtime, yesterday, I ordered Mulligawtawny soup but there wasn't any so I had tomato instead and because I have no back teeth I didn't have an apple. In the afternoon I watched the television and read my book. The nurse/carers phoned up to enquire what was happening with my electric wheelchair and they were told to contact the engineer. He didn't reply.
The senior carer phoned my dentist to get me an appointment on 21/02/11. In the evening the nurse came to review my Care plan and to speak to me about my weight and blood/sugar levels increasing. We decided to limit the number of bisciuts and the number of sweets. I now have two biscuits when I have a coffee.
I woke up at 05:30 and watched a film. I had my bladder wash, cleaned my teeth, shaved, showered and got dressed. I asked my carer if I could go to Nettos and she said this afternoon. I want some batteries, liquid soap, wine gums, ginger biscuits and rich tea biscuits. I had Weetabixfor my breakfast because All Bran is too hard.

Yesterday morning after I had a shower,when I got dressed, the carers noticed I was very sore round my groin. They ask the nurse to look at it and she decided to tell the doctor. He was coming later that morning. I decided to stay in my room. I read my book which is an auto-biography by Michael Caine. I watched television but in the afternoon I asked the nurse had the doctor been and she said he had. His advice was to use Cavaloin cream which I already use on my hole in my bladder where my catheter goes. I got my HC1 form which I completed and posted back but at 14:00 I was told that there was a female singer called Grace who was performing in the conference room. I went to the conference room and watched the entertainment. She performed for one hour, she was a good singer and she had a good range of songs. Later on one of the carers told me that Clarke & parteners is coming out to look at my electric wheelchair tomorrow.

This morning when the carers where putting me into my electric wheelchair they noticed it was very loose. They told the nurse and she decided it was not safe and I will have to use my manuel wheelchair.
