One down, caregiver land

Well, yesterday there was an incident with the weekend caregiver. Turns out she was wrong. She can't do 3 day shifts with my mom since she needs too much help and doesn't sleep enough to let the caregiver catnap. So rather than admit this, first she badgered my mom into taking morphine. My mom doesn't want to be groggy. Turns out on top of being groggy morphine makes my mom think bugs are crawling on her. On top of that, the woman called replacement caregivers to come in yesterday without first calling me or joe. Two huge no-nos.

Tomorrow i have a ton of phone calls to make. So not wanting to do this.
