University Squirrel!
Got a few pics of this squirrel before we entered our belly dancing class last night.
Another rainy day to report...blah! At around 12ish, I drove to see Mom. Linda told me that Mom had almost fallen off of her chair, which is very high in altitude and she really would have gotten injured. Plus, they kept placing her at a weird angle (even though I had told them not to!)and that got Mom very agitated today because she wasn't upright. Thus, she kept moving forward and almost fell out of her chair. Grrrr....These people are ignorant!
However, I told Linda that I had spoken to the director as well as another burly nurse that works there that Mom needed a tray restraint or a bumper on her chair. Yet, they told me that it would be double restraint and they couldn't do so. Yet, two days later, I saw another patient with TRIPLE RESTRAINTS! Anyway, I told Linda that, but I also recommended that she had them do something helpful for Mom. Linda said that it would definitely prevent her from having a fall. So when I arrived, I saw that Mom had a tray restraint on her chair. She was in good spirits and liked the Liz Clairborne jacket and aqua lounging pants that I bought for her. After I got her three pairs of socks and wipes labeled, we went off to the dining room to watch a soap opera. Then we played dominoe bingo with the other residents.
