I had a good day with my caregiver. We get along very well so sometimes we get to talking and lose track of time. I have my disability update. It's just like a page. Then I'm scheduled to do a interview that has been randomly picked by dshs.
I luckily have really good cholesterol. I am on a blood pressure med, diuretic, and proponolol.. I know I spelled that wrong, lol. I have lymphedema from sitting up sleeping. After about 4 years of sitting up when I was in the hospital they gave me a wedge pillow. Then I got out and slept sitting up again. 2 days later I got my first wound. Long story, I have wear velcro wraps every day. And do a leg pump machine. It feels like a massage on my legs. I ended up with a huge deep wound that took 2 years to get rid of it. It socks.
My sin has schizophrenia and lives in a care facility. Every time we plan an overnight visit it goes to he'll. Day visits are OK he can't come back here and christmas day proved it even more.
But I feel so bad for him. All he does is play video games and listen to his death metal. He gets his meals after most people have left. He has no self esteem. He gets $25 every Thursday so only $100 a month. They use dollar store products like toothpaste, deodorant, laundry soap and body wash.
So this month I bought all those things. Well for christmas he got this big setup that was really expensive. My sister's and me all pitched in for it. We'll he wanted stuff for it and he ended up saying it didn't work so he wants another $60 for the speakers. My sister thinks we should find a place that deals with this stuff and he says he's the only one in this city that knows.
It's beyond ridulous. I think he just doesn't want to go to a public place bc he doesn't shower often.. it's just non stop with him. Ugh!
