Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Tuesday. No, I’m not going through a checklist to reveal a problem. I have enough firsthand experience to know what the problem is. I’m literally killing my trouble before it’s strengthened and grown to maturity.

I’m being cared for by a registry. It’s apparent that the DON has moved on. She is a dedicated, caring, and compassionate person. She is missed already.
I’ll try to remember that it was once pretty bad and got better. The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not be in want.

It may be that those employees who can move on have begun their exodus. I’m laughing because I have been there and done that. Maybe I will even get an email that works for the acting DON. I get to exercise a positive attitude and pray without ceasing. It’s all a part of Healthcare.

It was a good night and my registry nurse did great without receiving any orientation with me before she was left to figure it out as a neophyte in my unique care. Do or don’t do; there is no try. Yoda. As I stated, it was a good night. I’ll make up my own orientation checklist for anyone caring for me for the first time.

Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all. Alexander the Great. Simplysaidbysimon, help for the best, but be prepared for the worst. People have their own issues and you may not be very high on their list for excellence in care. ALS – Attractively Lighthearted Survivor.

My name is Chris Simon. I was diagnosed with ALS 14 years ago. I have lived in a sub-acute facility for a little over 6 years. God has blessed me to have a good perspective and a loving wife and daughter. I'm definitely utilizing my downtime with several activities. Part of one year, I was a Crisis Text Line Counselor for suicide prevention. Other times, I put together 4 daily devotional books. Currently, I am reading and listening to music mostly, while writing two additional books.
