Colleen[24]: Grump

[mdlbear]

I am currently sitting at home missing a delicious catered lunch at work because some idiot at Kaiser screwed up the equipment order that was delivered yesterday, so I have to sit at home to make sure we don't miss the replacement. Of course, the day we were *expecting* the delivery was Wednesday. And we may *still* miss it because the window from 1:00 to whenever Chaos gets home isn't covered, because I have to take Colleen to Kaiser for a radiology appointment.

At no point during this process has anyone called to make scheduling arrangements, or given me a checklist of what has to be done where and by whom on Monday when she comes home, or what specific equipment has to be in place.

12:54 The backpack, battery pack, and wall-wart have been delivered. The case coordinator has been asked to check on whether the pump I have is the right one (I'm pretty sure it is), whether it needs the optional air detector (maybe not), and what the scheduling for Monday looks like. I'm still grumpy.

15:56 And they still left off a part. IDIOTS! WTF do ordinary people do??

17:41 Apparently the missing part comes with the tubing set. But of course nobody knows this off the top of their head, let alone supplies documentation. I remain skeptical.

*more hugs*
I'm finally kicking this cold. Believe me as lonely as Colleen has been, she doesn't want me around her with this cold. Plus, talking makes me cough! Ugh!*cough sputter* (My Mom has one too, whether the same one or another who knows, but she's been sneezing a lot with a runny nose. Which is why I don't mind visiting her.)
But if you need any help on Monday, give me a call and I'll free up some time.
And at least you aren't traveling half way across country by car. Hopefully everything will be straightened out by Monday.

Many thanks. I think I have it mostly straightened out now; hopefully we'll get more information over the weekend. They want her off the IV by 11am Monday, which hopefully means home by noon.
