Fed Up

I'm really getting fed up with people ignoring me. It's like since I'm disabled, I don't matter or what I say doesn't matter.

I'm sick of people leaving boxes and junk in the way so I can't even walk to the bathroom. They leave everything laying around and then have the gall to look at me with their faces hanging out when I remind them that I walk with a cane and have very limited mobility.

I'm sick of the attitudes I've been getting when I ask someone to heat me up a Cup of Noodles soup or nuke a pot pie. Geez, I'm sorry I'm such a lousy burden to you. Seriously, I hate asking for help, especially from people that make it clear that they don't want to be bothered.

I've been considering going to a personal care home. At Ieast there I'd get the help I need without the attitude. Maybe I'd even be able to get the medical care I desperately need. Plus, I won't be around to be a burden to everyone else.

One of the most horrifying things I've ever had to deal with while working in a care home, especially with residents suffering from some form of dementia, is when you walk into their room and they're at another point in time. They're sobbing, begging you to tell them where their mother is. They're pleading, crying the hardest you've ever seen them, and even after almost three years of being in this profession I still struggle to react appropriately. What are you supposed to say? There's no script for something like this and it breaks my heart every time. In truth, there's nothing you can say to help make it better.

I always spend some time by their bedside comforting them and offering some form of distraction. It doesn't always work, but I try to. I can't say or do anything to relieve their experiences, whatever they may be, and I definitely can't tell them where their mother is, but I can offer company. I try not to leave until they've cracked a smile or given an indication they're feeling better, no matter how busy I am. I don't always manage to cheer them up, but the majority of them thank me for my time.

After the long lives these people have led, five minutes of my busy day is the least I can give them.

And when that time is up, I go back on the floor and carry on. I have a job to do and I do it. If I need space to cry, I take it. If I feel sad, I let myself feel it. And when I clock out, I leave all my work related emotions at the front door. It's the only way to deal with it.

whenever I say I worked at a care home people always assume I mean an OLD PEOPLE'S care home and start talking about dementia, and even when I correct them and say no, it was adults of all ages with disabilities like cerebral palsy, some of them younger than me, people still don't listen and start talking about how hard it is "when you get to that age".

like people who live in 24/7 care for their entire adult lives exist!!!! residential care is NOT something that only comes into play at the end of your life. lack of awareness and funding is, in my opinion, partly why negative experiences of full time or respite residential care are so widespread.

ALSO when I successfully clarify that I worked with people of all ages, people start talking about how SAD it is when young people who have conditions like cerebral palsy can't move or talk or whatever. and I ALSO take issue with that. I think seeing disabled people's experiences as wholly "sad" or "what a shame" pre-emptively dictates what kind of life we expect disabled people to live. people in residential care CAN be happy, largely independent, or happy with their level of control where they are dependent on others. if we assume they can't, we won't even try to help them get there.

some people have high support needs at home and then go into residential care. some people spend their whole lives in residential care. some people won't need it at all with proper support and funding at home. people need support, not pity and people seeing their lives as lost causes.

People are good.

I learn that again every day. Everyone is trying their best. Today I was doing housekeeping at the care home. Every person who can hold their legs up while I hoover did. If they could pick up their slippers off the floor they did. I didn't ask. I go into every room with the expectation that I will move the furniture and their belongings. But they see me come in with the hoover and without hesitation they help me as much as I am able. I'll move the table, Mabel. Thank you for picking up your slippers. I love you.

I spoke to one resident about the paper, as I emptied her bin. Yesterday's paper was too big for the little bin and was making it difficult to tie up. She said I'll fold it smaller tomorrow. I nearly cried.

People tell me they couldn't do what I do. Why wouldn't I do everything I can to help Mabel? She does everything she can to help me. Even if it's not much

How is life inside a long term care home? (Sorry that's how it's said in Canada) I have been thinking of living in one and i want to know the good qualities of a quality care home.

Hey anon! I honestly have no idea what life is like within a long term care home. I’ve never been inside of one. If any of my followers have, then feel free to reblog or comment with your experiences!

Sorry I can’t provide more! Have a lovely day anon.

Hey how are you?

Thank you for asking this a while back. I was not doing very well, and honestly, I'm still really struggling with a number of things.

I won't go into huge detail, but the biggest thing right now is that my stepfather had to go into dementia care suddenly, and it was super upsetting for me and my mum as well as for him. He's like a father to me -- he raised me and I love him as much as if we were related, so it's been hugely traumatic to watch such a rapid decline in his mental and physical capacity, and we were recently told by a family member who has worked with the elderly and dementia patients all his professional life that after visiting him, he reckons my dad only has about 3 months left to live. We don't know if that's the case, but it was a huge shock to hear all the same. I'm trying to support my mum where I can, while not living that nearby, and visiting my dad is really upsetting, but I have to put that aside when I'm there because I'm there for him.

Anyway, thanks for checking in when I went silent - it meant more to me than you'll know.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Hank Ballard, Brand X’s 1977 LP LIVESTOCK, Jake Brockman (Echo & the Bunnymen), film composer Carter Burwell, Michael Carabello (Santana), trumpeter-bandleader Don Cherry, Imogene Coca, Linda Evans, Fabolous, composer-violist Lillian Fuchs, Kirk Hammett, Mexican Golden Age actor-singer Pedro Infante, Amanda Lear, Cherokee activist Wilma Mankiller, Paul McCartney’s 1985 single “Spies Like Us,” Metallica’s 1997 RELOAD album, Jeramy Mohler, Eugene Ormandy, Graham Parker, John Parr, Herman Rarebell (Scorpions), Cindy Blackman Santana, Rudy Sarzo, Compay Segundo, Duncan Sheik, astronaut Alan Sheperd, the 1930 Fred Astaire/Bob Hope musical SMILES, Howard Thurman, Shania Twain’s 2002 UP! album, Brenda Vaccaro, J.C. Watts, Kim Wilde, Owen Wilson, and the Great American singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer. 

Among his many hit songs are now-standards such as “Autumn Leaves” and “Moon River”—all told he wrote lyrics for 1500 published songs. Besides winning many awards, he co-founded Capitol Records, the first “indie label” of the 20th Century not dependent on the film industry or other corporate interests. Mercer was one of those fabled “napkin writers,” meaning he’d grab any scrap of paper handy, throw down lyrics, then have a demo ready within hours. “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive” was inspired by a sermon he heard on the radio. Normally he’d pitch the song to other singers but it was perfect for his voice. His recording was a Top 10 hit and has been used in several films. Here’s my take—I’ve grown fond of it and it’s a touchstone of my “assisted living home set.”

A girl should eat cake for the rest of her life. 😮😲#movie #series

Talk about awkward! It shocked me when I was told u needed to gain 40+lbs before a surgery to rebuild my body. It's not easy.

It's something that I could say because a completely months before then, I lost 60lbs from being in a nightmare care home. At least I was able to spend time and get to know seniors. BTW they have clicks like high school.

The fun part were the loud gossipy women who thought I was spying on them while they'd talk about the old men. As expected, they gave me graham crackers to move some tables away.

Hahahaha, that's when I was embraced by the men to comment on football games they were watching. Everyone was happy. Wish I stayed longer to help a man pick up Sudoku. At least give him my small Sudoku book.

Wait I'm remembering why mom rushed me out of there. They were overfeeding me. Hey, I was comfy with cool company.

That would give family chills if I volunteered my time at care homes. The people need company and I'm about the age of their kids who aren't visiting them or are no longer around.
