Two photos! One outside our front door before travelling to the care home, one in my bedroom in the care home.
Been a bit of a mixed week. Monday I was preparing to go into the care home, and Tuesday was the day I went in. During the day it’s mostly been okay after resolving some misunderstandings (I asked for hourly checks as I’m not able to use a buzzer, and they thought that meant waking me up every hour). Night time, not so much. There aren’t enough staff for someone to check on me hourly, and that means lots of pad leaks and needing entire bed/clothes changes and washes, which make me feel horrendous.
Johan is in Sweden for ESA Summer (ESA as in European Speedrunning Assembly, not one of the other ESAs). I’d much rather be with him or at home, but that’s not an option so I get to stay in a care home for a couple of weeks instead. The staff are fine, but it’s not home and they’re not really used to someone like me (mostly able to communicate but needing prompting for things I need). This time I brought the Surface and my normal Tablet, and I had downloaded some shows to watch to save the data on my phone.
Didn’t get out of bed this week after arriving, mostly because of feeling rotten from the journey/needing lots of bed changes/exhaustion from trying to cope with a new environment, new people and stuff. My room is really hot and I didn’t think to bring a fan. I do have Poseidon, Primrose, Nicky and Isabella with me and have been talking to Johan and Sammie through Hangouts. I’ve also spent far too much time on Reddit, as it’s the only thing I can concentrate on at times.
