September 03 - September 09

Sept. 03 (Monday) = LABOR DAY.
                                  Arrived with client awake in bed. Told me that she is having over indigestion and that she had called Rite-Aid earlier but thought they were still close at the time. Made client a cup of tea. Then later on went to Rite-Aid to get something for indigestion, 3 Bridge Mix chocolates as it was on sale, Mrs. Fields cookies, 99 cents soda pop. Asked the pharmacist on what to get for indigestion and suggested Emetrol. Got Emetrol and worth $9.99 cherry flavored. Gave 2 teaspoons to client when I got back. Told her no drinks before or after but she still took a sip of the tea. Went back lying down and I continued my work. About before 11:30 am, I started making fries, spinach for veges. Client woke up just before 12 noon and said she's not planning on having lunch, but she would have soup instead. Reheat Chicken Noodle Soup on the stove and gave a cup to client. She also asked for a piece of bacon and gave her a few pieces. Also asked for soda pop later on, which had help her feel better with her indigestion. Gave her blood pressure meds. later on. About before one reminded client about calling her bank and making sure she has enought money on her checking account to pay the agency. Tried calling the bank to make sure it was really close, and it was closed. Called the office phone number and asked if it was ok to bring the check tomorrow and says it was ok. Left at past 1:15 pm.

Sept. 04 (Tuesday) = Got in there and client awake, said her indigestion was back again. And the Emetrol syrup was no good, she wants it back to Rite-Aide. I went to the kitchen and noticed the dried spills in the kitchen table and on the floor too. Client had a cup of tea. Went back to sleep. Had tuna sandwich from Subway for lunch, then went to Vons and bought 7 Up Diet, and got coleslaw from Popeye. Client's $10 has a change of .38 cents. Client had the half of the sandwich, a cup of 7 Up soda, and coleslaw for lunch. Later said she's better, the soda had probably helped. Informed me Rite-Aid called about the refill ready for Vesicare medicine. Took blood pressure medicine after lunch and watching her show at 1 pm. Changed bedsheets and blankets today.

Sept. 05 (Wednesday) = Arrived client was on the kitchen and the dog was out. Cleaned the cabinets and ref. and disposed of items that needs to be disposed off. Threw away some beans that looks no good on the bottom cabinet and all the jellies. Had tuna sandwich again from Subway for lunch. Client asked me to pay for it first and just list it so she knows how much she owes me. Went to Subway and used my card and cost me $5.39. Then I went to Vons and get the cole slaw from the deli worth about $2.99 just like the employee has told the client as she called the store and asked. I also got 2 tv dinners as I was off tomorrow. Spent a total of $4.78 with my debit card. Dropped by to Rite-Aid and got Alkaziltzer for client, used the check she wrote for the store. Client had half of the sandwich for lunch, and cole slaw. Had water for a drink and had taken blood pressure meds. afterwards. Also had reminded her about the Vesicare that was ready for pick-up from Rite-Aid Pharmacy. Asked me how much it's worth and when I told her $42 she said it was costly and wants to call the doctor (mobile physician) and that maybe he could give her something else, something less costly. Tried to call the number but no one's answering the phone. GOT A COLLECTION NOTICE FROM THE MAILBOX.

Sept. 06 (Thursday) = OFF!

Sept. 07 (Friday) = Arrived before 9 am and dog was outside, client was on the kitchen. Told me about the alkziltzer and that she thinks it looks different from the original one and she thought medicine changes so maybe it was a new one or a new kind. Tried it but didn't helped. So she called the pharmacy and asked and learned it was the wrong one as it was for cold and flu. Told me she has a stomach ache and instead of coffee or tea she wants to try and have soup, maybe it would help. I heated tomato soup on the stove and gave a cup to client on her room. Reminded her about the pick-up of the Vesicare medicine and that she only have until tomorrow, Sept. 08 for it to be pick-up. She said she forgot to try and call again the doctor and asked me if I wanna call. I did called the number and had spoke to Tanya. The call got cut off and I called back again. Spoke to the same person and later to another lady named about Sharon (?) (there's "sha" on the start.) Asked me the client's full name and later the Rite-Aid's phone number and told me they will call the pharmacy and call me back.

Gave the client the collection NOTICE while we were waiting for them to call back. Client wasn't happy about the notice and decided to call her husband and told him. Done on her phone call at about 11 am. I tried and called the mobile's physician number again as client is anxious as to what had happened but nobody's answering the phone. Then told client I have to go to Rite-Aid and return the alkaziltzer and she wants me to get something or whatever the pharmacist will suggest to help with elimination as she said she hadn't had B.M. for 4 days. Went to Rite-Aid and asked the pharmacist and suggested the Mucilax. I got the small bottle only worth $8.99 and returned the alkaziltzer. With the deduction of the returned item, I paid only $1 and some cents with clients check. Then went to Popoyes and got 2 pieces of chicken with a biscuit, and 1 apple pie. Used my card and cost $4.29. Client had the 2 pieces of chicken for lunch, the biscuit, lo mein that I brought with me, and water for drink. Gave her the blood pressure meds. afterwards. Also tried to give bath to the dog as client requested but doggie won't cooperate, doesn't want to get into the shower. Prepared the Mucilax powder on 8 ounces of water and just left it on the kitchen table for client to take later in the afternoon or early tonight. Left client's house at about 1:15 pm.

Sept. 08 (Saturday) = Client said she was planning of calling the attorney's office about the collection notice she received. Told me that she called her husband and her husband told her not to give even a penny tot them. Told me also about the call of her granddaughter who said they we're probably coming tomorrow (Sunday) to visit her and client doesn't like it.  Wrote me a check to use for Vons as I insisted she doesn't have food for tomorrow and it's Sunday. Then she gave me $4 and some cents for Burger King burgers. Went to Rite-Aid first to pick-up client's Vesicare for bladder which cost $42. She wrote me a check but before that she called the pharmacy and spoke about her concerns about the price of the medicine and that if it would help her situation. Went to Vons and I bought 3 tv dinners, ginger ale, and 2 dog foods. Then went to Burger King and got 2 double cheese burgers and small onion rings. Client had the cheese burgers for lunch, and onion rings, ginger ale. Also gave her a 1 Mrs. Fields cookie but she didn't touched it. Gave clients blood pressure meds. except the Vesicare before 1 pm. Cleaned everything that needs to be cleaned for the day: kitchen, trash can, dogs bowl and refilled water. Tidied up clients room and the ants in her bedside drawer as she hide chicken in there. Took off the comforter 'coz of the ants too and washed it. Emptied her commode and cleaned restroom.Left before 1:30 pm as she was chatty.
