For the last several weeks, I have been short staffed causing concern and putting stress on me.  Not knowing who will be coming in the following morning to shower me is not a good feeling.  I am in and have been in search of a full-time employee to work Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m..  The agency that I use to provide me with services is as well having a difficult time finding someone.  Not having the same person to give me dependability, reliability and stability really sucks!!!

Besides being short staffed, next week during winter vacation, my most reliable and dependable employee who rate now is covering most of my hours because I’m short staffed will be going away for four days.  My nurse and therapist who know how to put me in my wheelchair as well are also going away on vacation during that week.  My sister, who helps me out from time to time is leaving for South Carolina during this time.  So here I am stuck with staffing that I am totally uncomfortable with, hopefully, the staffing that the agency sends me will be capable to provide me with the services that I need.  I am most concerned with my physical care.

A few weeks ago, as many of you are already know an employee who had been working for me for about five months stole one of my credit cards, withdrawing more than several hundred dollars.  She was arrested, but these are the kind of things that add to my stress.

A friend told me once, for better or for worse, things will always work out.  I hope so that’s all for now, goodnight.
