my food reality

the coming home foundation has literally been a life-saver providing me with 24/7 help.   the nurses and caretakers have been fabulous.

it would seem that they are also extremely busy right now with many patients needing care and are having a difficult time staffing.   if you need work, you might consider calling Glennys at  988-2466. I believe they may be hiring and then you could get paid to hang out with me!

since i'm feeling a bit better than before, they asked me if I would be able to have a few breaks from help during my day.   so long as it's only a couple of hours, I said, that would be fine.

well reality has it that there are sometimes large blocks of time (7 hours the other day!) often during mealtimes that I do not have help.   this is a huge bummer.   and often times I don't know when help will be arriving ie what time.   this is especially inconvenient during dinner hour.  i can walk to the frig with a tremendous amount of effort, but making anything beyond toast is not an option for me at this time.  it simply hurts too much.

so i guess the point of this blog is that....if you might be available to help out with dinners for an hour or two occasionally that would be fantastic.  i generally have loads of food here but pickup is also an option.  let's face it: at 89 lbs I can't afford to miss too many meals.   Or if you need a job, call them.

coming home is surely doing the best they can and i am eternally grateful for the help.  the gaps are the problem

thanks.   love you all.
