Raleigh

This week I was able to schedule a client in Raleigh, NC and include a visit with Molly and Ben. Wednesday evening we had a lentil soup with carrots that was very tastey.

Thursday we went to an Ethopian restaurant where we ate with our hands. No untensils were provided. The food items were served on a spongy like bread surface. The glob at the top is another folded spongey bread. The method is to tear off hunks of the spongy bread and scoop up food with the bread. It was an interesting consistency, but the process was efficient and the food was good.






Today I received an e-mail from the client in Floriday scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, requesting that I delay their visits due to some staffing issues at the facility. My first inclination was to say that the travel was booked and they would be charged for the visits whether I came or not. Then I realized I had an option.

The assessment nurse at the building in Raleigh had severed employment on Tuesday. My assignment had been to provide education to her on Friday, but instead I did assessments to keep them current with payment. I offered to come back on Monday and work ahead so they would not be in non-compliance and have some breathing room until the 'back-up' assessment nurse returns from maternity leave on March 1. It all worked out and I will stay in Raleigh until Tuesday morning. Molly and Ben are THRILLED!
