Today Joan woke up at 7:30 to meet at 8:30 with the doctor about her hearing problem. We were the first appointment, on time, and went right in. The doctor confirmed Joan had wax buildup in her left ear but said the nurse had to be the one to clean it out. She did not do that. I immediately that we would have to wait a few days for an appointment and happily surprised when she said to wait a minute while she talked to the nurse in the next room. She came back in a few minutes and said the nurse would see Joan at 10:15. We went home, had breakfast and returned at 10:15.
There were 2 people ahead of us waiting so we got into the nurses office about 10:35. The nurse asked how long Joan had used the ear drops to clean out the wax and I said 3 days. She said it had to be used for 5 days. Since it was only used for 3 days she said to go back home, use the drops for 2 more days and then come back. So, in the end, Joan's hearing is still blocked for now.
Later, in the afternoon, I went with Mary to pickup the wheel chair and, again, another surprise. It was the correct brand, right model, but, alas, it had the large wheels on it. I specifically ordered the smaller wheels and didn't accept the chair. The salesperson checked her order and said she did order small wheels so it was the factories fault in shipment. She said they would return the chair and get the one I wanted and would have it for me by next week.
Dzi艣 Joan obudzi艂a si臋 o 7:30, aby spotka膰 si臋 z lekarzem o 8:30 o problemie ze s艂uchem. Byli艣my pierwszym spotkaniem, na czas, i weszli艣my od razu. Lekarz potwierdzi艂, 偶e Joan ma woskowe nagromadzenie w lewym uchu, ale powiedzia艂a, 偶e piel臋gniarka musi by膰 tym, kt贸ry j膮 oczy艣ci. Ona tego nie zrobi艂a. Od razu, 偶e b臋dziemy musieli poczeka膰 kilka dni na spotkanie i szcz臋艣liwie zaskoczeni, kiedy powiedzia艂a, 偶e poczeka minut臋, podczas gdy rozmawia艂a z piel臋gniark膮 w s膮siednim pokoju. Wr贸ci艂a po kilku minutach i powiedzia艂a, 偶e piel臋gniarka zobaczy Joan o 10:15. Poszli艣my do domu, zjedli艣my 艣niadanie i wr贸cili艣my o 10:15.
Przed nami czeka艂y 2 osoby, wi臋c dostali艣my si臋 do biura piel臋gniarek o 10:35. Piel臋gniarka zapyta艂a, jak d艂ugo Joan u偶ywa艂a kropli do uszu, aby oczy艣ci膰 wosk i powiedzia艂em 3 dni. Powiedzia艂a, 偶e musia艂a by膰 u偶ywana przez 5 dni. Poniewa偶 by艂a u偶ywana tylko przez 3 dni, powiedzia艂a, 偶e powinna wr贸ci膰 do domu, u偶ywa膰 kropli przez kolejne 2 dni, a nast臋pnie wr贸ci膰. W ko艅cu, przes艂uchanie Joanny jest na razie zablokowane.
P贸藕niej, po po艂udniu, poszed艂em z Mary, 偶eby podnie艣膰 w贸zek inwalidzki i znowu kolejn膮 niespodziank臋. To by艂a w艂a艣ciwa marka, w艂a艣ciwy model, ale, niestety, mia艂a na niej du偶e ko艂a. Specjalnie zam贸wi艂em mniejsze ko艂a i nie zaakceptowa艂em krzes艂a. Sprzedawczyni sprawdzi艂a zam贸wienie i powiedzia艂a, 偶e zam贸wi艂a ma艂e k贸艂ka, wi臋c to by艂a wina fabryczna w przesy艂ce. Powiedzia艂a, 偶e zwr贸c膮 krzes艂o i dostan膮 ten, kt贸ry chcia艂em, i b臋d臋 go mie膰 w przysz艂ym tygodniu.
