Still waiting on the scheduling office for the BC Minister of Health to respond, but not holding my breath. Somehow I don’t believe that they will, simply as I am not a contributor or some Corporate Big Shot.

So the other half, David, hurt his back on the weekend. He is prone to that, but it generally passes but this time, it didn’t. Off from work yesterday, and today, and that included a trip to the Clinic too!

The regular worker, scheduled for this week is off, which has brought another influx of new home support workers from Beacon Community Services. Funny, how so many claim ‘years of experience’ and yet, it seems like they haven’t a clue on how to handle an old women, of about 120 pounds.
I mean it seems like …
