I Am Now Afraid to Go to Sleep

 This morning, I had little sleep but got up about 8 am to sit in living room as I put on ac. It was so stuffy in my bedroom, I could not sleep. When I came in the living room, Tommy was wadding up his blanket again and holding it up under his chin in a wad. Then, immediately he was looking at the edge of the blanket, holding with both hands. It appeared he was looking for something on the outer edges of the blanket, like a tag. 

He did not know his birthdate and could not understand what I wanted when talking about other things. I gave him a gentle "talking to." I explained he had to trust me to tell him the truth. He had to do what I said and eat what I said to eat. I told him I was going to make him a pb sandwich and give him a real Coke. He agreed and ate it. 

About thirty minutes later, he seemed okay. But, I was afraid to go to sleep. He did not want to take his insulin since it was sooner than usual in the morning. He did not say this, but I think that is why he would not. Finally, he took the insulin. Still, I was afraid to go to sleep. 

We went out for a check of flowers at Lowe's, a short drive-by for outside. Then, Tommy went inside Dollar General to find the cheap, terry cloth slides I love for house shoes. No luck. Back home, he had salad with chopped hamburger on top. I had tuna sandwich with salad. So, it has been a quiet low-key day, perfect. 

I did decide to go to sleep in my bedroom and left him in living room. I slept until about 2:30 pm. Now, 12 hours later, I am afraid to go to bed and leave him. 

I did arrange for new cleaner to come late one afternoon into evening--her idea, not mine. Plus, I emailed woman who wants to buy my car and delayed that. Tommy's car sounds like it is falling apart. So, he wants to have at least mine here. We must go car shopping soon! 

There is a list of calls for tomorrow morning. One is a potential Medicare fraud. Since when does nail-trimming cost $800 and lab tests which I was never told were going to happen. The clippings were vacuumed and doubtfully were sent for tests. Another doctor consistently bills me too much. Medicare said it was illegal. If he does not want to take Medicaid, he cannot bill me for the rest of the cost, what Medicaid would have paid him. I have fired him, so no problem for me. I dread these calls!

We are having temps in high 80s this week. Sounds good to me, but it will rain hard Monday and Tuesday and still rain Wednesday and Thursday. So, it should be steamy. At least Tommy won't need to water flowers. Oh, the watering system for pots and hanging baskets comes in this week.
