Its so nice we had this together...

We had to have our caregiver to leave work due to things that she has been doing that could be dangerous for both Robert and me.  Don't get me wrong the caregiver was really nice and could do her work great.  She is very fast at her work.  Very friendly Christian.

I have been aware of the dangers of Robert and me:

- we have to watch out for what we say because she was a Christian

- she has been taking us both on appointments and shopping with the use of her vehicle and she can be brainless ie she may drive too close to the driver in front, switching lanes when she isn't suppose to.

- She used a hand towel that had been using 

- I noticed that the back door has been opened a couple of times and she made it wasn't her.  We never go out the back door.  I normally keep the door in a way that you could open the door from the inside but after closing it, the door would lock on the outside.  The button was always opened on the knob so both sides could be opened.

- She placed her coffee Thermos in the microwave for 2 minutes and started a fire 

- She used our hand towel which we use for our faces and clean our bodies with by using Soft Scrub.  
I was wondering why my face has been smelling like Soft Scrub everywhere I go.  Then she told me that she has been using it for toilets and other cleaning areas.  I was furious.  She said she did not know but I think it is commonsense that you don't place bleached cloths on top of colored cloths (which our hand towel was).  I don't even know why she was using the hand cloths in the first place for cleaning.

After Robert and I had a discussion about me speaking up since I don't really speak my mind, because I don' like to hurt people's feelings, I decided to speak my mind toward her and that when things started to get hostile.  I started to get upset that I didn't want to have to deal with anything that came my way.  And I had an appointment with my counselor and had canceled it.  I had to remove myself

There was hostility between the caregiver and me.  I felt very awkward about it and I suddenly felt uncomfortable her around especially her disrespecting me whenever Robert and I had a disagreement about something.  She had nothing to do with our relationship.  I didn't want to argue or disagreement with my partner as long as "the guest" as I put it.  She said she wasn't a guest.  I wasn't going to back down and told her that she was a guest and not going to have a discussion as long as she was around.  Even after she left I was still quiet and didn't really want to talk for the evening.

Robert and I eventually talked because he really thought I was going to leave him.  He has been hurt in the past.  Everyone has been hurt in the past and that's just life and we have to find a way to cope and live through it.  Even I have been hurt in the past.

So the outcome of it that we had to let her go, otherwise it would be continuously hostility and I didn't want to feel that I was in the wrong all the time because I wasn't.  I didn't want to have to think something to happen and I refuse to allow someone like that to overpower me like that.

This situation nearly jeopardize our relationship and what will happen now.  The only thing I could think of is just to talk to him about what will happen and not to worry about what will happen even though we as people say things when we are angry and upset.

I feel relieved that she is gone because I also didn't like how she was going through our files and documentation.  Now we could be able to continue with our life.

Its funny because when I opened the front door to check the mail, the blanket that I had for her for Christmas was returned.  That was okay showed where her morals were and very stubborn and immature.  But lucky me, I have an offer for that particular blanket to sell it for $100.00.  My friend wants it so it all turned out fine.  I could use the money too.

Improvements

I'm impressed with the improvements Craig is becoming.   With the help of the physical therapist and occupational therapist for several weeks now going, they have seen some changes in him.  Not much but you are able to see the difference from where he was once was.   I am glad that he is able to see the help that he finally needs.  I am so glad that he left his old Doctor.  He is now out of his wheelchair, and doesn't use his walker in the house anymore.   He should had gotten physical therapy a long time ago which his old Doctor Ann Lemire didn't really want him to go.  I still blame her who is a terrible doctor when it comes to decisions and respecting the patients needs.

I had read some reviews about his old doctor and they weren't really good, the ratings were very poor, and I am not surprised either.  She shouldn't be working anymore.

Well, now that he is getting the help that he needs, he could be able to move forward to better things and getting stronger.  HIS JOURNEY CONTINUES TO A FULL RECOVERY....

waiting at the eye doctors

I'm won't be home for Christmas

Well, its about that time again.  Looks like we won't be going home for Christmas to see my folks.  It is very disappointing that nobody asked us to come down there so it is going to be the both of us at home with our 3 kitties having a quiet day in.  

I had decided that I wasn't going to go down to see the family during the holidays anymore.  It is always a stressful time of year and I think it would be best if we just stay put at home.

Cancellation of wedding

We had to cancel our wedding day due to the fact that the weather has been getting bad and he wasn't able to get around with his walker.  Also we had to return our rings a second time because they didn't fit our fingers.  We'll have to get another size up.  It was really small.

Its ridiculous.  Of course we got them at Overstock and they really don't measure the sizes of their rings properly. This size I have on me is an 8, I may have to go to a 9 or 9 1/2 which isn't my normal size but then again my fingers could had gotten bigger.

I think we were both disappointed, (I know I was) that we had to cancel our wedding day as well as returning the wedding rings.  We will get married just have to wait until the weather gets much better.

Update on the Taxi Accident

Wow, we got a letter in the mail and it was from the taxi service (A.S.A.P. Taxis)  and when we opened the envelope, it was shocking what we saw.  Only a $20.00 voucher within their company.  That was bullshit.  Very disappointed, especially the service that we enjoyed riding in.

Taxi accident

Hey guys, had a terrible experience yesterday. Craig and I nearly got killed in a taxi by the taxi driver fell asleep while driving. We yelled out him to wake up. He suddenly become aware what was happening as we went onto the footpath (sidewalk).  He looked at us and started smiling that would wake anyone up.  I started to roll my eyes.  We were lucky we are still alive. We complained to taxi service and I guess we are being rewarded. They are going to fire the guy.
