General Update #131

Rachael (Aspen Park social worker) attempted to call Dusty on 9/10 at 3:44 p.m. but Dusty was in a meeting and missed her call. Rachael left voicemail for Dusty asking him to call her at her office number or her cell number.

Rachel attempted to call Dusty again at 4:08 p.m. to try and connect about Joyce's discharge plan for tomorrow and to confirm a time to setup discharge process and Joyce's exit from the Aspen Park facility. Rachael also wanted to talk about the home health and portable oxygen orders for Joyce. Rachael stated that she would remain at Aspen Park for a few more minutes in case Dusty would be able to return her call "soon."

---

Dusty returned to his desk from his afternoon work meetings and saw Rachael called and left voicemails with his cellphone number while he was out. Dusty attempted to return Rachael's call at 4:34 p.m. after listening to her voicemails requesting he contact her but was informed that Rachael had left for the day when he called the main desk line. Dusty left Rachael a voicemail and informed Rachel that he'd been cleared by his boss to do remote work/work off-site and have flexible work schedule all day tomorrow and that he was prepared to pick up Joyce at anytime that worked for Aspen Park's needs tomorrow. 

Dusty sent a follow up email to Rachel's email account repeating information provided on the voicemail left for her.

General Update #92

07/24/2020 Dusty missed calling Joyce due to personal schedule conflicts. 07/25/2020 Dusty called in to check with Joyce at 1 p.m. following a training session he attended for Scouts BSA. Lunch today was spaghetti "with a delicious meat sauce," a side of veggies and dessert was vanilla pudding. Joyce confessed that she might not have remembered it had the tray not still been sitting beside her with the remnants of the meal. She had today off from physical therapy but did have speech/mental therapy. She said that some of the questions that the speech therapists ask her are "laughable" because they ask her if she has lived in rural areas and then ask her about what she thinks living in the rural areas are like after already verifying she lives in the country. Dusty suggested that the therapists are trying to use something basic, like knowledge of Joyce living in the country, to then ask questions about living in the country to see how Joyce recalls information or rela...

General Update #95

07/27/2020 Dusty called Joyce to check in and wish her a good night while he was preparing dinner for Jess. Joyce was alert and quite talkative. Dusty reviewed the plan for the telehealth appointment scheduled for tomorrow and Joyce stated that no one had told her that was occurring. Dusty suggested to Joyce that they were going to visit with her tomorrow morning ahead of the appointment based on what Rachael had told him and Joyce concurred. Dusty questioned Joyce about her decline of participating in the urinary incontinence therapy as well as her reported lack of performance with physical therapy. Joyce stated that she had been looking forward to the urinary incontinence therapy work but according to her they only spoke to her once about it and then never again approached her about it.  Joyce felt like they don't do enough PT with her even though she wants to do more PT. She cited today that they only had her walk back and forth using parallel bars for a few minutes before givin...

General Update #85

Dusty and Jess called Joyce in the evening on July 4 to wish her a happy Independence Day.  Joyce reported that her pain levels were fairly low, even after doing upper body physical therapy work earlier in the day. She was a little disappointed with her meals served. She had been hoping that they would serve hot dogs and potato salad for lunch or dinner but none were to be had. Joyce could not recall what she ate for any of her three meals she was served. At the time of the phone call Joyce had not seen any fireworks out her north facing window but she could hear several concussive blasts of fireworks being set off near Dusty and Jess' apartment.  Joyce said that she did not see or hear the Let Freedom Ring Tour (a B-25 Mitchell, a F-7F Tigercat, a P-47 Thunderbolt, a P40N Warhawk, and a P51D Mustang), which was sponsored by Hangar180 , fly overhead around 5:45 p.m. but she might've missed it most likely owing to having been napping at the time. She stated that she was excited...
