FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

This was really a very bad week for me ! I probably caught a cold  in the lovely restaurant last week. Anyway, on Monday my doctor came and prescribed me antibiotics and other things for bronchitis, and that combined with my chronic lung disease was terrible. I was wheezing so loudly that I couldn't sleep. Several of my friends had a cold and my friend of almost 100 years is in the hospital with pneumonia. I was cared for very lovingly, didn't have to worry about anything and someone from the staff often came to ask me how I was doing. I'm so glad I found such a nice home here. 

The new director, whom I called "The Phantom" because she was never seen unlike the previous one, was fired! I have to say that I was rather happy, she made such a mess here, amongst the staff. 

In any case, I always told the truth and said all of what I heard in a questionnaire. Now I have become the representative between staff, residents and management. 

For the first time I went today to participate in a Quiz which was very nice. As I was sit I felt normal, my "pump" didn't have to work and we all were in a good mood and laughed.

Cat Rosie felt that something was not as usual and unfortunately checked on me each hour. The noise which came out of my chest, worried her. So she stayed with me and watched that I didn't fall asleep ! 


Despite everything, I slowly, slowly decorated my room, because I can't do it all without Christmas decorations. This will be the second Christmas I'll be without Rick. But I have to learn to cope with my third phase of life as best as possible.

  4. I was wondering how you were and am sorry to hear that you've been so unwell again. It is so good that you have good people to keep an eye on you. Bless Rosie!

  5. I hope you're feeling better now but glad you have been well looked after by Rosie and your "castle" staff. It must be reassuring for your son to know you're not trying to cope on your own in an apartment any more.
