This is a birthday card I made for a friend. The center stamp is a stamp from DeNami. The corner stamp is from Mostly Hearts.

Norm is doing ok for the most part. We are waiting for the strap to come in. I had to make a report with the director on Thursday because of an issue with Dan (nurse) on Wednesday and his attitude towards me. This is not how he usually is, but he basically reduced me to tears and all the aides said I need to report it, so it is done. I felt like I was in the principal's office (I had to talk to the director and some other head as well). The aides also gave their statements and so did the head of the memory care unit since they all heard him. Then I was totally shocked because Norm said Dan apologized to him for how he acted towards me (I did nothing wrong) but no apology to me!


While I was there Thursday, I had lunch with Norm and will do this from now on until he comes home as because of his shoulder I am not comfortable with taking him out and Matt (other nurse) advised against taking him out which only makes sense to me. He also told me not to let anyone there walk over me because I pay them to do what they do and if Dan gives me any future attitude to let him know. Trust me I'm more upset over the nurse issue then I am with the fall.


Friday I had lunch at the Civic Center and told them what happened and said Norm probably won't be at lunches until April now. I also turned Norm's phone off at Woodside since I can hardly get hold of him anyway when I call.


We had lots of wind and cold during the night and some snow. I decided to stay home today since it is still blowing out there and the drive would need to be cleared. I will call after Dan's shift later to see how Norm is.

So sorry to hear Norm is having problems. I know you were anxious to get him home. Hope this doesn't delay he move home.

Stand up for yourself with these people. You pay their salary. Hang in there.
