My day's beginning and how spirituality helped me

[Dazon50]

I arrive early normally and listen to music on my car radio and pray while parking in my client's driveway.  Today was one of those days that I was glad that I was there early an extra few minutes in walking into my client's home.  I did my usual preparation which included getting breakfast set up to straightening up a few areas including the recliner my client sits in that I have a chux & towel on.

I had just finished when I heard my client's wife cry out....went into the bedroom to see the bed soaked, the floor wet by his bed, her bed and her trying to direct him to sit on the portable commode.  His bottoms off and me with no gloves on, no towels, no wipes, no clothes in the usual place......after giving it up to the Lord, I dove in and grabbed what I could creating a clean space and paper towels to throw on the wet wood floor.  The water was cooler as it takes time to warm up (normally I turn it on several minutes before he is in the bathroom).  I was sticking one of those basins in the bathroom sink under the faucet that I had to tilt to fit in. I had to keep telling him to sit back down.  The commode was in urine and he had stood in it!  Back & forth I went, grabbing towels and extra wash cloths and tipping the walker over so I could use chlorox wipes on the legs & rubber bottoms, while doing my best to stay calm.....got through it all and him washed up and dressed.    He can become combative if feeling rushed so I was ever mindful of it and how I reacted.

Later when breakfast was done and my client safely and happily seated in his recliner  his wife & I talked about how important attitude and supporting one another is.  She complimented me as she said I did all the work....lol.  She gets excited and I said that acknowledging we are sinking but asking God to help us gets us through.  It is my way of saying I take hold of God's hand.  I know I cannot go into a dreamy state and suddenly everything is done.  It is the ole feel the fear and do it....or feel the panic and do it....or ???

The plus in the day and reward for keeping focused, was that I was able to get the urine sample ordered by his Doctor the other day....which was an answer to prayer. Yesterday,  I got refusals to urinate in the hat (those plastic hat like things in hospitals or doctor's offices or nursing homes or ???) and he certainly couldn't urinate in the small jar, so I prayed for an idea and ended up having him use the commode after sterilizing it and then pouring the urine into the jar....YES!!!!  I was so happy & then ran it over to the Doctor's office....mission accomplished!!!  My client's wife was happy too.  She said she had forgot about getting it....lol.  

I just love going there as I am inspired by her love for her husband and wanting to keep him in his home and seeing her do her bible devotion time every morning and praying.  At 87, she is honest in where she is at with the Lord.  There are times I ask myself...what am I doing here?  Is it stressful?  LOL!!!  A piece of cake after working in a facility and running from the time I got there till the time I left.  I could count on one hand how many times I had lunch.  To take the lunch I was supposed to meant getting behind when you have a floor full of people to care for.  One on one care is heaven for those receiving good care :-))

I know if my heart wasn't God's, I couldn't do this as well as I do.  To hear the Doctor say the other day that we are saints and that he had never seen anyone like my client....was music to my ears.  After being given the wrong directions to get them to the Doctor's and ending up calling on my cell phone over a half hour late in a car parking lot for directions .......all the while keeping calm and my client never uttering a complaint......to have the Doctor affirm the wonderful physical condition this client is in and his peaceful manner.....WOW!!!  I beamed all the way back to their home and the rest of the day.  

I put in a good day...thank you God :-))
