> Yes, Kathy, any time there's a big change like that, it causes stress because of the unknowns. For instance, they don't know your speech patterns, and they don't know how you prefer to get dressed. I have had more changes in the past year than in many, many years, and it IS stressful!!! As of tonight I still have two of my staff in the AM and 5 people for the dinner shift, and one more on Sunday, but she doesn't work every sunday, so that's been hard for me, because I like regularity, I like knowing who is working what shift when.

> Today has been a hard day. One of my neighbors in the unit down the hall hadn't been seen for a week. so the other neighbor called the police, and they broke in and discovered that this woman had been dead for a week. She was an alcoholic and about twice a month, the ambulance would come and get her up off the floor, and sometimes take her to the ER. I think the last time I saw her, was ten days ago, and the paramedics were helping her because she had fallen in the hallway. She was in a way more disabled by the disease of alcohalism than many of us with physical disabilities. Sometimes she would be raging mad, which is why the cops would be called. Once when ~I~ fell and couldn't get up, I used my emergency button to call paramedics, and as they were leaving, the person from the agency helping me, said she heard the neighbor crying; "Help me, help me!"
