Relationships

Well, my aide Charlene made the brownies yesterday, but she forgot to bring them today.  She promises to bring them yet this week, though.  I'm very fond of Charlene.  She's a good woman, and she takes very good care of me.  If Yodit is out of the picture on a regular basis, I'll depend on Charlene more and more as my main aide.  Without Yodit on the evening shift, however, half my waking day might be a struggle now.

Several aides have been rotating on the evening shift, and I get tired of trying to remember how each of them work and trying to adjust to them.  Honestly, it doesn't help that I'm still struggling to get beyond the cancer treatments.

Maybe I'm going at this the wrong way, however.  Maybe I should just take the aides here as people who do their jobs and let it go at that, but I want some personal connections with people who do so much for me.  I had that kind of connection with Yodit-- still will, when I have her for a shift-- and now I have it with Charlene.  I want that connection with the aides who will be in my home.
