My VSS has many foods she can't eat. Dietian has already been to see her once while she was in the acute side ( she is now on sub- acute) and detailed notes about what she can/cannot have have been entered. For brat, she only want 2 cups of hot water. Fine. Sunday, suddenly she wants to know why she is not getting Oatmeal. She wants Oatmeal. But it has to be Oatmeal, not cream of wheat. We get Oatmeal. She doesn't eat it.
Monday lunch. According to plan, she gets two servings of veggies. But ( gasp!) they are both carrots! OMG! This is soooo terrible! How can they do this to her! I get dietitian back in who spends 1/2 hour talking to her and working out a new menu.
Then there physio. She lost her exercise sheet! Ok I say, we will get you a new one. But oh no, this sheet she got on acute! There are the same I tell her. Physio brings her one, and wants to assess her doing them. Oh no! She's not ready for that. Physio tells me later that she doesn't want to hear ohysio's instructions but then gets mad because physio didn't tell her that!
And OMG! The PSW keeps giving her ice water each morning! She doesn't want ice water! So she made up three signs and stuck the up saying "plain water only". Is that OK? Cause she has to have plain water only! I guess it would to hard to say "I don't want ice" like everyone else does who doesn't like ice. Or just dump it out and refill with plain water; she has easy access to a sink and could do this.
