Dull visit today

 Very dulI l visit today.  Kay was asleep in the Community room sitting up.  I woke her and took her to hall with the iron furniture but someone was already sitting there so I took her back to her room.  A caregiver came in and got her up to take her to the bathroom and clean her up.  I am not very fond of the opposite sex doing these jobs for the patients.  They are usually a minority too as they seem to concentrate in these kind of jobs.  I think this is just part of the effort to destroy the European culture going back over a thousand years. When he brought her back she got back into bed and seemed so sleepy I let her sleep.  A couple times I asked her if she wanted to go outside and get some sun but she said now so I just stayed with her until it was time to go.  As the shuttle got there in reasonable and as I have set back the pickup time to 3:15 PM I had almost an hour and 45 minutes to visit.  Too long to just do nothing even though I was tired too.  Tomorrow if it is not raining I will just get her up and we will sit outside in the sun for a while and if it is not pleasant enough to sit outside we will see if there is anything to participate in going on inside. They reduce activities on week ends.  Maybe there will be someone playing and singing or other things to entertain the patients. You cant but help see how feeble she is when she tries to get up from a chair. 

It's funny to see the LPN's here try to watch TV while dispensing medicine.   The lure of television is almost like a drug.  They have their drug supplies on one side of an isle and behind them is a room with a television for people who don't have one or do not want to watch it alone. It can be closed off with a sliding folding door.  But while they are loading syringes or other drugs they continually are looking over their shoulders to keep up with what is going on.  There are only a couple who do that.  Because it is well knows about fatal accidents with  drugs errors caused by doctors and hospitals you would think they would prohibit that when dispensing  drugs.  That is the ultimate multitasking.
