it's all about the patient, my arse.

my healthcare at home nurse called me today. she understood that i had requested thursday at 2pm. I had done no such thing, I had been told that I had to have thursday because wednesday, which is my day, was too busy, and 2pm was what was suggested to me so I just took it, and figured that I maybe woulnd't try and farm the boys out because there's a chance that Bill might be home by then.

anyway, the nurse on the phone kept saying it was all about convenience and what suited me, but then said she might have to come closer to midday and wouldn't that be better for me. well, no. actually, i've been planning on 2. but my guess is that i will be her last call that day and she wants to finish earlier. i can't argue. but i'm pissed off about being jerked around. so i haven't made any arrangement for the boys, so now they will be here. the nurse isnt' bothered, but well, it's not about her, is it? i didn't bother to warn her that i can reguarly take 3 needles to get a vein, and I don't want my kids watching that. so i will have to sort the telly in playroom out so that i can put them in front of that at least until the needle is in.

i have askwd her if the rest of my appointments can go back to being wednesday, not least becasue i have it written in my diary and on the kitchen calendar, every third wednesday. i just assumed the would work to my schedule, because you know, healthcare at home is all about the patient's convenience. my arse.

and i have to then sit here with a stranger in my house for over two hours. maybe going to the ward isn't suc h a bad thing after all.
