I am determined to survive whatver debris life throws my way with my sense of humor intact. I'm a 52 year old woman with disabling MS and, after trying to fight it out by myself, have recently moved into a nursing home. This is the story of my effort to get through life while living here. My one talent and redeeming trait is that I enjoy writing nonsense verse, which I will share with you. all entries © Deborah Taylor, 2010 All rights reserved

bad day at the home
It has been a real frustrating day, mainly because of the way it started, I woke up at 7 AM because the shift changes then and the incoming employees all talk loudly and greet each other right outside my door. OK, fine, its time to get up anyway, but then they just leave me in bed until they happen to get around to helping me get up. Today it was 8:20. The thing is, I feel like a trapped prisoner until they get there. Today I called on the phone three times, and they were always surprised that I hadn’t been helped yet, but nobody ever did anything about it. In real life, when I was on my own, I often slept later than this. I think it is being helpless that bothers me.
