My client has fell down about four times or more in a few days. He is old and tired, and just feels really bad. I did really good about not laughing when he fell. As people know, sometimes I laugh when stuff like that happens. It was no laughing matter. I am so sore and tired from trying to lift him. I took him to the doc today, and he was told to stop this new drug, he had started. So now, we are doing a wait and see approach.
If he doesn't get better, I don't know what will happen. My company is already talking about it's not a job, for one person. That is taking care of two old people, and I hear, they are debating not having it be a live-in arrangement. Well I hope he gets better, or that he just dies in his sleep. He has too much pride, and wants to do it all on his own.
Well almost time for class. There wasn't much point in coming home, before I went to school. bye for now.

work
Yesterday, I went back to work after having a mini vacation. It was great. I love my job, but I love my family more. So I get to work, and everything seems normal.
Well everything isn't normal. Bob* isn't very well. I am not going to go into details about this day. I notified my office, and they want to send another caregiver in, because two old people needing care isn't a job for once person. So now they want to make more money. Bob needs to recover and keep on moving.
The best way I can tell you how he changed is this. When you first see old people, you think wow they are old. Then you get to know them, and no longer see the old. Now the old is all over his face.
*means Bob isn't his real name.

I know these pictures aren't really in order, but this is Michelle when she is too far for us to really know it was her, but then there she came. This wasn't the easiest picture to get. It was like do I want the picture or my eye sight. The sun was very bright.
Since this was her second time jumping, they got to do fall backwards and see the underside of the airplane. It was a very cool day.

This is Will and Tyler, right in front of the hanger of the airport. Will wants to jump when he is 18 years old. You can't do it until then.

The memory walk was held at Rock Valley College. It's to raise awareness and raise money to find a cure to end Alzheimers disease. My company set up a booth there, along with other companies simliar to mine. I took Ann with me. She did a really good job. It helped that we walked around in the wrong area, and then we had to walk to the booth. So by the time we started walking with the crowds, she was already settled down. The picture below shows her sporting her Comfort Keeper shirt. She behaved very well, and learned how to drink water from a bottle. On the way home all she could do was lie down in the seat. bye for now.
