Paula g's Story
I am now retired from UC Davis medical center since 2011. I went on vacation june 17, 2011 to Waco to pick up my brother Michael who is mentally delayed. He was hit by a car on 19th and Median st in front of HEB and that was the second time he was hit. He almost died... I felt I had to go get him. He is a lot of work because of his mental state and now being a traumatic brain injury.... I never went back to work. I hurt my back in 2006 and had surgery. So because of my back pain level I went out on disability. I was unable to do my job without a lot of pain and finally retired. I miss working my 12 hour night shift at times but retirement is great. My son David was hired to take care of Michael during the day and that gives me time to do whatever I want. To get Michael out of Waco I had to lied to him and tell him he needed to take care of me and I would return him back to Waco in 2 years.... not. It was funny watching him on the plane... He was like a 5 year old and of course I gave him a happy pill so we would not be arrested. I was so scare he was going to yell we r going to crash or something to that effect. I also enjoy my grandchildren, fishing, gardening and of course going to Reno... Life in Sacramento, Ca is good! I love the we...Expand for more
ather and it is not as bad as Texas. When I went back to Waco in June I thought I would died from the heat and it made me so tired... So consider me a Texan transplanted in Sacramento, Ca. My children, grandchildren (+great grandson) and my sister. Bringing my brother here was something I had to do and sometimes when he throws his fits about living in sactown I tell him fine ....go back to Waco and he tells my son I do not want him anymore. I think one day I will have to place him in a home for mentally disable.. But right now he is ok.... His only problem with me besides I am the devil is I take him to the doctor too much... He would not go to the doctor in Waco because he states nothing is wrong with him... He has a lot wrong and being medical power of atty I make him go along with his happy pill....later
I enjoy my life now that I do not have to work! 12 nights at a level one hospital trauma center for 22 years is hard! I still have problems sleeping....but I guess that will come ........life is good..this summer I spend time with all
My g kids and the bad acting 2 y/o great grandson..I placed my brother and he seems to be
Happy and doing a lot more...I hear from him when he wants something... I am keeping myself
Busy and very happy....later
