I slept into day and it felt great.
Had not been sleeping well with everything
that has been going on.
This week I faxed in the document that I must follow
that states that I need doctor orders to provide foot care to my clients.
He did not believe me and would not give me orders.
sigh
Now I have to meet with the Director of nurses at one
of the nursing homes that I go to and provide care to their residents.
Don't know what is up with that.
Will call her on Monday.
This first part is done as we put in the mail box the originals of
that my lawyer asked for. I finished "the Statement"
yesterday and faxed that to them.
now it is a wait and see...there is nothing more that I can do...
Have asked about 6-8 people to write letters of support
to the board on my behalf...so hopefully they have done that.
My anxiety is better because I have been having some luck
getting doctors orders and am charting again which is good.
I have the same gal coming over on sunday to help with
paper work, filing and putting together new charts.
I am so grateful for her assistance.
Hope she thinks I pay her well.
WEll I need to get dressed so we can go out to eat at our usual
Chris' for some chicken and sausage gumbo.
My weight finally was down to 179.6 this morning.
I had been up to 187.8.
I hope yall have a nice weekend.

I think you are doing so well. I also think you are doing well losing
your weight.

Like Donna, I think that you are doing great. You are doing everything the lawyer has asked of you. And you are doing everything you can to reorganize your business and get doctors' orders
I'm so happy to hear that you've been having some more luck getting those orders, and that has helped with your anxiety

Congratulations on losing that weight!
I'm glad to hear that because I know how much your weight effects you

I'm sorry that you are struggling with your drinking. I think that it is understandable given the situation you are in right now tho. Just please be careful. I love you (((HUGS)))

Thank you so much for your kind words of support.
There is one doctor who wanted to see a written directive requiring nurses to have doctors orders to do nail care, and I need to get teith the director of nursing to set up some sort of contractual agreement, she called me last week. So I will call her tomorrow.
I got a nice card from my twin yesterday. IT made me cry.....
then my family was being so supportive and complimentary on some texting that we were doing as a group....that made me cry too.
I appreciate all of the support that I have been getting.

WE went to the party pre mardis gras parade for club rio. they have 25 floats this year. It was a lot of fun. I drank entirely too much and had a hard time sleeping. I ate too much as well.
good food and a fabulous king cake bananas foster, it was awesome! We brought a big fruit salad which every one ate.Mike the host had cooked a lot of meat so that was tasty. Aster the parade we went back to mikes house and had a good time visiting and hanging out there.
After the party, we came back to the house to get a burger king coupon and went there looking for a whopper but the lobby was closed and the drive thru was packed so we went to checkers and got big buffords and seasoned french fries..... both were excellent. Came home and watched lost. Had fun fun fun.

I have 70 charts made and 47 returned doctors orders so it is definitely going in the right direction.


Meet with the director of nurses for one of the nursing homes that I go to, on thursday...I think...I have it in my planner, just too lazy to go look at it. We will come up with a contract for the year. I will bring my liability insurance certificate and proof of TB test. Will need to update this yearly. It has been 10 years since they checked me out.



Am still seeing new clients only if I can get verbal orders for them, then I schedule an appointment. My work load has been light thank goodness so I have been able to get things organized. I am finding mistakes along the way so I just need to be more careful and stay on the task at hand. I have set up a system to track orders. A visual orange dot next to their name on their charts so it is easy for me to see if I have received orders back for them or not.


I spend hours a day on the phone leaving messages for family members, doctors offices, getting orders, creating charts and charting, faxing requests for orders, verbal orders etc.

It feels good to be doing these things....I have needed to get my ducks in order for some time....too bad it has to be under these circumstances.


If they felt I was a threat they would have ordered me to stop my practice but they did not so I will continue my business. This case could take years to settle. I need to relax and have faith in my lawyer. However, we just found a big error in my statement. I repeated myself from one paragraph to the other. sigh
My lawyer did not catch nor did we. sigh


I have asked clients of mine to write letters of support. One may back fire. I asked him to not include that I treated his ingrown toe nails which could be out of my scope of practice. But he did and even worse said that he had been to 2 podiatrist with no relief but since I have worked on his feet he is painfree. Just tonight I have a clients family who is going to write the board of nursing . I treat both her parents and declined her because her feet were beyond my scope of practice. This is the perfect letter.

The lawyer said 5 letters and I have about 8-9 if they all respond.


Mardi Gras is a week from tomorrow. I will give up drinking for lent, it starts the day after mardi gras on ash wednesday for 40 days.

Will see if I can do this.
Bizi who is drinking like a fish....

I'm so glad that you had fun at the pre-Mardi Gras party, Bizi
You need and deserve a break and distraction.

And I'm really happy that your family is being so supportive, and that you feel like you are getting good support in general. You are so loved

You are doing SO WELL getting organized, and I'm happy that putting the extra work in makes you feel good. You have accomplished A LOT. I really like the system that you have set up

I hope you enjoy Mardi Gras and your plan for lent works out
