Day 133 of Sheltering In

Friday. I am both concerned and LIVID at the same time. 

Concern:  Please pray for my sister. She is in the ER right now with probable blood clot(s) in her lower legs. The front of her calves are swollen, red, and hot to the touch. I have been saying all week she needed to go to the doctor, urgent care, or the ER. She doesn’t listen. This is serious, and I told her so. She just doesn’t seek medical care until a limb falls off, j/k. She has a super high deductible. I guess if you get something serious and die you don’t need to worry about a high deductible. I don’t get it. Here’s another vote for one of us was switched at birth. I go to doctors and specialists ASAP when I have an issue. If Dr Google says go to the doctor or ER, I go. My sister consulted Dr Google Monday and waited until Friday after work to go to urgent care. Urgent care sent her to the ER. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Livid: My daughter texted me to say her counselor told her the Day Program is opening in less than 2 weeks. Hello! The county it is in and that we all live in is having large spikes of positive cases. The Governor is talking about rolling back parts of opening things in our area. Also, I just watched the weekly update from the corporate office that runs the group homes and Day Programs. In J town since 07/24/20 there have been 6 staff and 6 clients who have tested positive for the coronavirus. What on earth are they thinking? Also, why on earth did counselors on their way out of the group home mention the Day Programs are opening? All the clients in the group home that my daughter lives in are FREAKING OUT! So am I. I can tell by my son’s behavior that his sister told him. My daughter has several underlying health conditions that make it very dangerous if she were to get the coronavirus. 

How about:

1.) Don’t have counselors tell clients on their way out the door for the WEEKEND!

2.) Don’t have counselors do that without explaining what precautions will be in place! 

3.) Don’t have counselors do that without explaining what will be done to keep clients with underlying conditions safe! Will those clients remain on lockdown in their group home?

There is no way on earth with what is going on in our county that they should even consider opening Day Programs. This is completely irresponsible. 

I really want to email the Director and give her a piece of my mind, but I feel like a fool after my daughter asked for my help advocating for her, and then she contacted the Director herself regarding different issues this week. Also, we can never tell if we got the whole story on things. I’m going to talk to my wife more after her brother leaves. I also think we should contact Anastasia because her wife works for the place.

My brother in law was over doing yard work and brought fruit and veggies from a farm stand near their Dad’s house. I paid him as soon as I got home from grocery shopping. Thank goodness I didn’t buy fruit! He’ll be back tomorrow to continue with the yard work because he got here very late today. My wife made extra stuffed peppers last night and is serving them to him for dinner.
