Those poor old people. Dumped at a home while the family carries on, forgetting them or doing the standard "well, I don't wanna, but I gotta go see ma" sorta thing. You know they don't want to be there but are doing their "duty". Meanwhile...the nurse that takes care of you knows it is visiting day and is on her or his best behavior. But as soon as the family or visitor leaves...pinching you, letting you lay in a soiled bed, forgetting to bring you food deliberately, etc.
I went thru that when I had my hysterectomy. Had a nurse that was awful. And mean. And I was helpless. Back then, you were in the hospital a couple of days. This ***** would wake me up wanting to take my temperature, gag me on purpose with the thermometer, never cleaned the bathroom and I had to share it with another gal with both of us dripping blood everywhere, insults that we were now spaded ARF ARF she would say to us. UP. GET UP. CLEAN YOUR NASTY SELVES ARF ARF! The other lady and I took turns cleaning the toilet. One night, she came in and woke me up to take my pain pills. I was asleep..not in pain. I refused. She tried to shove them in my mouth but I smacked her and she went to the window and started hitting the blind and throwing our water all over the floor. Then she stomped out. The lady next to me got dressed the next day along with me, with us helping each other put our clothes on....and we waited for morning staff and the doc. When they arrived, we told them what we were being subjected to and at first they didn't believe us until we said "look at the blinds" which were all bent and crooked....then "look where our water pitchers are. Did WE do that?" and water on the floor under the bed, pitchers in the corner. Morning staff was horrified but said nothing more. The lady and I called our husbands who came to get us.
She left before I did, and when Mr Gracie arrived along with the wheelchair that is SOP, the ***** was coming on duty.
I told Mr G to wait, and I got out of the chair, approached bitchface and said "I will not be helpless for long. Soon as I get my strength back...I will be here to kick your ******* ass". She scrambled behind the counter and said she was going to call the cops and I said good cuz I had some reporting to do. Then I got back in my chair and Mr G wheeled me out of the hospital. I did go back...2 weeks later. She had been fired.
Anyway..point is...some people take advantage of other helpless people. Some day..I will be one of those helpless people. And there are a lot of really bad people out there.
Oh. Wait. I won't let it get that far. I'll eat a bullet first.
