Oh my word! This place is crazy! The people are very nice, but the system has holes in it. Now I understand about the shortage of staffing in the medical field especially the cleaning staff.
When I came in, they were not ready for me. First they said to come back at six pm. That would mean I'd have to kill three and a half hours. Then I was told to wait a few minutes while they figured out what to do. After the dust settled they kicked out a male patient that was waiting to be discharged by throwing all his stuff onto his bed and taking him to another room down the hall.
In three minutes they grabbed a clean bed from another room and presented me with my room for the stay. I'm very thankful that I do not have to share my room with anyone. I have my own bathroom and have three chairs for visitors.
On the other hand, as I looked around I saw a urinal bottle hanging on the IV thing. Trash on the floor. Feces in the shower, pubic hairs on the toilet and on the floor in the bathroom. The bedside table had coffee and food stains on it as well.
So . . . I stole a bottle of disinfectant and started cleaning. I cleaned as many surfaces as I could. Thank the Lord for good gloves!!!
Then when it was time to take a shower I freaked. Well the Lord had all things timed just right. The cleaning guy came through and let me use the supplies to clean the shower area and mop the bathroom floor! I am not complaining because the guy was not going to clean my shower and bathroom anyway. God is so good! He made provision for me to have a room to myself and made it possible for me to have a clean environment. I will have to live with an unswept floor, but thank goodness that I can wear those footsie things to protect me!!! I wish I had my camera to take pictures.
The other thing I am thankful for is spiratic access to the Internet. If I place my computer on the window sill, and don't move to much I can hook up to an unsecured access point to check e-mail.
God is good!!!
