HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME. unbelievably i have owned my own home for 5 years as of today. only 25 more years to go.this is the only picture i had on my computer, the printer isnt' scaning so 5 years minus one oak tree. i have worked for a week now at my new job. i work from 1/2 hour to maybe 2 hours the other day then sit around for the rest. no patients until the 12th or after. i took pictures of my unit the dementia unit. not sure if i was allowed. will ask and then put them on the site. my area has only 15 patients compared to 25 in my last job. INSIDE the unit is a front porch which is complete with 2 rocking chairs, railing, porch ceiling porch light and siding of a house. looks just like a true porch inside. you walk through the door into the kitchen, to the right is a familyroom, to the left is a dining room. then in the hallway on the other sides are private rooms. carpeted and 2 suites, with a whole wall seperating 2 beds not a curtain. outside the kitchen they can go out with us and walk the memory garden. this whole facility is fancy, i feel like i am in a fancy hotel. i walked ONe section of the independt living apartments and walked and walked and walked. then did the other side later. tonight i will walk the upstairs. the assisted living has 30 residents and the skilled has 40 skilled rooms are all private carpeted rooms. i asked the security how many people when full he said close to 280 . been nice to work for 8 hrs and get paid and not take care of patients. just had a dr appointment , mri showed cysts on both overies and a very thick uterus. put me on birthcontrol cuase i have no insurance, if that doesnt help in 3 months i will need a biopsy. so i will let you know somewhere in feburary.
