Difference of opinion with staff

 I got the full treatment today from the people who work here. Shows what they really think of you. Their feeling is that they know best.    I have been warned for decades that just because you feel better with the antibiotics don't forget you are still sick.  Don't overdo it and cause a reaction.   I am   on my third day of  antibiotics. Only this afternoon have I begin to feel like I am gaining strength.  Whether it is from the pills or because I have begun an exercise program. The nurses believes that if  you don't  have a fever you are not sick. In other words he decides when you are sick not you So he met me doing some walking to gain strength and told me I should go to the med room and dining room.  So this has turned into a very unpleasant situation. I think the exercise I am doing now is good but I don't think I should begin treating myself as if I am all over it.  If I do the wrong thing I would be worse off than at the beginning of treatment.  I cant get  much worse and still be able to stand. 
It's a mystery to me how the management here allows this attitude to develop. These people get paid  whether I eat in my apartment or in the dining room.  Of course there s no chance to see Kay. I believe what is going on is contrary to Government laws that protects old people in rest homes. Here they have committee's but they don't seem to accomplish much.
