Monologue Mania Day #1053 by Janet S. Tiger (c) Dec. 31, 2016
The last day of the year - a Happy Healthy New Year for all my readers!
The Daily Dilemma
(For Caregivers Anonymous)
(Not) A monologue by
©Janet S. Tiger all rights reserved
(Jeannie is explaining how the group works)
JEANNIE - So you see, we
have a lot of people taking care of a lot of people! The way this meeting
works,we have announcements… one of our most popular parts of the evening.....also known as…..the Daily Dilemma! then we talk…about anything we want to……and it’s anonymous– what we say here….stays here! So, what's your biggest gripe THIS week? Come on, I know everyon has at least one....

MARIA - The doctor made us wait for an extra hour and a half
and then spent only five minutes with us!
CLARK - And because you were mad you forgot half the
things you were going to ask!
FLORENCE - What about the price of pills that just went
up!
MATTIE - But not the minimum wage!
JEANNIE - Or what about the ever favorite complaint - NO
APPRECIATION! Even if your
patient thanks you, it seems sometimes
like it's never enough, and if they don't have the wisdom to constantly say
'THANK YOU' then we can all be huffy in silent - or in many cases - NOT so
silent sulkiness!
But wait.......there's always the number one on our hit list, or is it SHIT list! We are
tired!
(The others laugh and moan)
How tired are we? We're so tired that. we can't remember what day it is........we are so exhausted that we forget why we go into a room........we're so tired.......we can't remember when we weren't tired!
So what do we do to fight this! How do we make time for ourselves? And taping our patient to a toilet is not a rational solution!
(End of this section - but not of all the daily dilemmas!)
