My Life being Disabled 31/01/11

Yesterday lunch I had Mulligatawny soup then I went to my bedroom and did my exercises. I couldn't do some of them because I'm in a wheel/arm chair until Clarke & Parteners come to fix both my electric wheelchair and my moulded seat.
After doing my exercises I read my book. I had Chicken soup and ice cream for tea. I watched television until 22:30 and went to bed.
This morning I woke up at 08:20 and told my carer I wanted to get up. Before breakfast I had my blood/sugar level taken it was 7.7. I hadmy breakfast and went into the computer room. I topped up my mobile and found a new website about Rugby League on YouTube which I bookmarked.

My Life being Disabled 30/01/11

On Friday I had mullitawny soup for lunch and at 14:30 my carers came in to take my wheel/arm chair to swop for another one. I watched the television for the rest of the afternoon. I had baked beans for my tea but couldn't eat them all. I threw up, a couple of time, and I decided to go to bed. I began having panic attacks and the nurse came took my temperature, blood/sugar level and blood pressure. Everything was O.K. she had phoned the doctor to tell him and he said if these were O.K. it must a panic attack. I continued to watch my television and called the night nurse who took my temperature, blood/sugar level which had gone down to 8.6, blood pressure and another measurement oxygen. These were O.K. and my nurse said she will investigate. She came back at 23:40 and told me the last time I used Codine after two days I felt funny so they stopped it. This time I been using it for a week, she was going to stop it again. I watched television and feel asleep. I woke up at 07:00 watched my television until 08:15.
I got up and my carers found my bowels had opened. I had a shave and cleaned my teeth. I called for my carers who told me I could have a bath wash because my nurse said I should stay in my room. I stayed in my room and watched television until 14:20 when I was told that I must go to bed while my wheel/arm chair is being used. I got up at 19:00 watched the television and had mullitawny soup. I went to bed at 22:15 and watch some more television.
I awoke at 05:00 and watched television but straight away I had a panic attack. I continued to watch television until 08:15. I called for my carer but the nurse came to give a bladder wash. Afterwards the carers came to get me up and I cleaned my teeth and shaved.
I went to the bathroom and had a shower. I got dressed and went to the dining room. I had Weetabix and a coffee. I was still using the wheel/armchair and went to the computer room.

My Life being Disabled 28/01/11

After lunch I had to get out the wheel/armchair I had borrowed in morning because my moulded wheelchair was broken. I sat on a beanbag on my bedroom floor. I sat watching television and reading my new book. It's called 'The Snowman' by Jo Nesbo. The engineer never called so I stayed in my bedroom until 17:40 when the carers brought me another wheel/armchair to borrow. I had my soup(tomato) but I was sick. I left my soup and my coffee and retuned to my bedroom. I went to bed at 22:15 but I was feeling funny. I watched television all night and didn't go to sleep. I had two paracetomols but felt as if I was having a panic attacks
This morning at about 07:00 I had an other and asked the day nurse to tell the doctor. She phoned him and he said he will come after morning surgery which finish at 11:00.

My Life being Disabled 25/01/11

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.
