Hi All from your "grumpy" RSD friend. Just wanted to give ya'll the update...my aid walked out today and quit! Alleluia! My home aid quit today.She came in my home today late and in a bad mood. She left after getting a phone call and came back even madder. I asked
her if she had my grocery card and she said no. I told her I never got it on Monday. She started swearing on her mother's grave that she gave it to me. I said ok but I never got it. I always keep it with my other cards and I give her an envelope to put everything in so she doesn't loose it. She gave me the envelope but not the other card. I thought no biggie. I'll just get her to get me another one next time she goes. She got mad at me, cried, and stormed out of my bedroom yelling "I quit." I said ok and let her go about leaving. She came in my living room carrying on saying that I make her do to many things at once and she can't do it anymore. So I said "Well, I think it would be a good idea for you to just leave" (Since she was supposed to escort me to a doctor appt). She was like a wild banshee and kept flying back and forth across the room saying she didn't know what she was doing or saying and that she would lose her job over this. I told her to calm down and call her husband to make sure he could pick her up. She said she did. I told her it has not been easy for me. I thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown. She then proceeded to tell me that they had so many other people here and she was the last one. I asked her what she meant by that and she did not reply (I think she meant that there was something wrong with me lol). I thought it not even important for me to go into anything with her as she was not in a good frame of mind and I had to go to the doctor. I felt bad for her but at same time she is supposed to help me. I don't need all the drama and stress. She has progressively gotten worse each week. Crazy huh? I was happy she was gone and now can concentrate on a friend of a friend that is to work for me. This aid thing is so stressful. What we go through in one day is amazing. This will all be in my forthcoming book ;.) Thanks for listening to me vent.
