So now I find out that my blind guy isn't being properly cared for

and I'm pissed.
He depends on a cab to take him to & from dialysis, about a 30, 35 minute ride. The cab shows up late in the mornings, leaves him stranded in the afternoons quite often. HIs B/P was dangerously low last week & they just dropped him off at home & left. He had to sit outside til he got able to even get inside his house.
Yeah they get busy, I get that, but his transport is already paid for and he's ill, ffs.
Then I find out that he has to depend on some Meals on Wheels type organization to get a decent meal in the evenings, but ONLY Friday evenings.
WTF???
So, I dug out my diabetic cookbook and I WILL be cooking meals for him, not a damn bologna sandwich or frozen pizza.
AND I'm working on ME being the one to transport him to & from Dialysis.
I don't understand people doing a half ass job with someone who is this ill.

@SW-User It makes me furious.

@Tumbleweed I feel this way too. These folks need human interaction, connection, care, love, humor, and understanding. This world needs more Tumbleweeds.

@SW-User Right? And his other Aide does what she's gotta do and leaves, she's not real big on just getting him out of the house for awhile, just wants to rush him. 🤬
I took him out last week & we sat at the ice cream stand & ate banana splits 🙂

@Tumbleweed I'm the same way! I love getting people out and about. It's so important for their mind, body and soul. Otherwise people start losing brain matter. Lol my terminology is terrible but you onow what I mean. I make it a point to interact with people that are forgotten. I totally get it. It infuriates me watching people sit alone or not having anyone.

@SW-User His family completely ignores him. I was there with him last week when he called his son to ask a simple question, he had to leave a message & to this day, his son is yet to return his call..

@Tumbleweed Although, we may not know their past either. Maybe there's resentment and such. I remember feeling resentment for my mom. Then I did some reflecting. But ya, so uncool..

@SW-User True. But at least answer the man. If he don't wanna talk to him, he needs to grow a set of balls & tell him so.

@Tumbleweed right!
