DAY 127 - 12th December, Thursday
Keri woke up to find a member of staff unlocking her door and bringing in another parcel that had arrived for her. When she got up about forty minutes later to see what had arrived she was extremely annoyed to find out that they'd already opened it and gone through the box. Checking the time, she also saw that it was nearly midday and Keri had specifically asked to have someone wake her up so that she could find out whether the staff had sorted her leave. The guy who came in with the parcel didn't even speak to Keri. He just tiptoed in, put it on her desk and then left, locking the door behind him, doing his hourly check at the same time.
She's been massively angry with the staff all day as they didn't get her leave sorted even though she kept pushing for it. In the end she was reaching the end of her tether and was losing it, leading to more crying episodes, swearing and the staff having to give her extra medication again this evening to prevent a massive kick off. Luckily there were three members of staff working so one of them managed to escort her to tesco. Keri managed to get wrapping paper and birthday cards and Clari decided to come out and fill the basket with rubbish. Keri came back when she was stood at the checkout. She looked at the basket, just sighed and decided she may as well just buy the stuff. Clari would eat it and then Keri would throw it up again so there was quite a serious binge purge episode this evening which has left Keri's throat red raw. I've had to keep consoling poor Jimmy as he keeps crying because he doesn't understand why his throat is so sore.
Keri found out that Dr. Harland is due to come in around 10.30am tomorrow and has told two members of staff to get her up at 9am so she has time to wrap some presents and get sorted. Luckily the two members on shift are very good at getting Keri up (take Matt for instance, he'll talk non stop until she finally goes "fine I'll get up!". She's also asked that she be the first to have her ward round so she can get her leave sorted. The foster agency manager is still refusing to have Keri and her kid foster brother in the same house so she's only allowed to go while he's at school. Keri's foster mum has said that she may or may not make it to Keri's ward round. She has said to Keri that if she hasn't got to the unit by 10.30am then she won't be attending Keri's ward round but Keri has promised that if this is the case then to ring her straight after ward round to talk about leave. The staff will want to ring her anyway, or talk to her if she manages to get to the ward round.
Tonight has been quite relaxed because of Keri's medication. She's exhausted and it's barely past midnight! Hopefully that means an early night. The staff are pretty determined to get her out of bed tomorrow morning as requested. They won't let her down either as she ended up talking to them about how annoyed she was at the morning staff for not waking her up or doing anything to sort out her leave. As far as anyone's aware, no one even made a phone call! Can you blame Keri for being angry?
