I do have a new CNA. Sheā€™s quiet. Iā€™m quiet too. Kind of a boring day. Iā€™ve been tasked to try and talk to people during the day, to help with my muteness. Iā€™m tryinā€™. Really. Sheā€™s older and tiny. Sheā€™d never get my face out of puddle of water, if I fell in. Her nameā€™s Ivy, I feel like there might be an adventure in her. Just gotta coax it out. Oh, sheā€™s deathly afraid of cats. I intend on changing this. Yep sheā€™ll be adopting one before Iā€™m done.šŸ¤Æ ---

Went outside after breakfast. No rehab today. Just gotta walk. Ivy, of course, with me. We are starting Cat-love lessons today. I didnā€™t tell Ivy my plan. I gave her a cat treat. She said ā€œTell them not to come close to meā€ I told her Cats notoriously donā€™t follow human rules. Any way I pitched a treat out and they ran toward it. I told her to do the same. She tossed it to the back forty. Lol. I gave her the bag of treats and told her toss them closer. Walter, the famous ā€˜other catā€™ Came over to me. Ivy nearly screamed. I told her calm down. I looked over and she was standing up on the bench. Walter is not one for lap sitting or too much cuddling. Basically he just wants treats. I finally talked her down. I told her to toss Walter a treat. He was about 5 ft. away. She nearly hit him on the head. And he ate it. I think thatā€™s enough for Cat-love class 1. She didnā€™t scream and run. I feel thatā€™s a win. ---

Well yesterday Ivy didnā€™t show up to work. I was thinking, jeez I must be terrible. They only last a day, with me. Mr Wrekker is even adding bonuses (effectively a bribe) to take all my crap and keeping me from falling off the earth as it spins. A student nursie gal helped me yesterday, the few times when she wasnā€™t playing candy crush or texting someone on her phone. Gah!! (She was okay with the cats, btw) Ivy was here this morning. Thank the Lord. I have rehab and then weā€™re going outside. Whoo-hoo!. Operation CAT-love session 2 will commence. ---

Beck ā€“ I seriously think you should re-think this. Reads to me like Ivy has a phobia. Forcing someone with a phobia to have it inflicted on them isnā€™t kind. And I know Beck is kind. I donā€™t know why they assigned a cat-phobic nurse to accompany a patient who needs cats for their treatment. But let Ivy stay on the far side of the courtyard, please, and monitor you from there while you cuddle the cats. (and keep your helmet on, in case you fall down before she can catch you from there.) ---

Youā€™re right. Iā€™m very sure I wonā€™t get very far. Thereā€™s just no reason to be scared. If she can walk down her street and not cross to the other side, when she sees a cat, Iā€™ll feel Iā€™ve helped her. Mostly Iā€™m teasing her. I promise to stop if it seems hurtful, or causing her to dispare Right now itā€™s a innocent thing. She can sit it the day room and watch out for me.
