(i.e., from Wash's Home-Health Services Agency, for at least twice a week, or more)............ is just an excellent idea, because you legitimately/objectively ~ R.E.A.L.L.Y. ~ D.O. ~ N.E.E.D. ~ I.T. ~ , Tashi, *W.H.I.L.E.* you're essentially takin' care of Wash all by yourself!!<br /><br />Additionally, now that your new ALTCS Case Manager is, as you've said on 3/22/12, a very respectable woman............ who also, (*t.h.a.n.k.f.u.l.l.y.*!!), seems to be very RESPONSIVE to your & Wash's genuine needs............ maybe, if you first *ask* HER, the Home-Health Services Agency then might, subsequently, be able to arrange FOR the *same*, very-helpful/solicitous lady............ (whom you & Wash had in your home this past Thursday and Friday)............ to be your REGULAR Home-Health Services Aide, i.e., IF it fits into her Agency Work Schedule, that is. <br /><br />(And, to be frank, it's always such an *honor*, and a blessing, when any healthcare worker's patients/clients SPECIFICALLY ask for her/him to provide care for them AGAIN; so that would also be something to simply consider now, too). <br /><br />G.E.T. ~ W.E.L.L. ~ S.O.O.N. ~ thoughts and prayers (from me and Jack) continue to gently *stream* your way, Tashi!!Rosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290435002631069643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-57033090812076587282012-04-22T19:02:36.203-07:002012-04-22T19:02:36.203-07:00I'm so glad they were able to have someone com...I'm so glad they were able to have someone come over - and possibly more in the future! My non-scientific opinion is that you got sick after a day off because you had been holding it back by sheer will and the sickness attacked when your defenses were lowered. I hope you feel 100% better soon!ElectricDaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019067899077684003noreply@blogger.com
