RE: [QUAD-L] In home care

This is appalling to hear.  I could understand an attendant not knowing better, but a CNA!   My recommendation is to house your own supplies.  Keep them in a place where you can keep track of them.  If you are relying on Visiting nurses, then immediately report any foul business.  This is YOUR life in their hands.  Don't feel bad for making people experience the consequences for doing wrong.  If you don't, they may seriously injure you or the next person down the road.   You must do what is necessary to take care of yourself, no one else will.  It is my job to understand my body and how to take care of it.

I found out from one of my CNA's that the nurse who take care of the supplies. Do not wash her hands and just pulls out the gloves from box's and put them in a paper bags. I received a real bad inflation that is killing my white blood cells. Thank God I know my body and went to my inflation doctor. When he seen the report of my blood and uron test he went thought the roof. I had a pick line put in and have to go to the hosputal everyday to get my IV treatment. Now I have to buy my own gloves and tell my CNA to wash her hands and put on my gloves. Wheelchair Warrior
