Jason one of our neighbours went to see Randy around 4:00 pm. with little Owen, Randy's doggie.  I had asked Jason to put Randy's landline phone in the wall plug so it would work. 

Staff said that I wasn't allowed to talk to Randy on the phone.

I have been paying $30.00 a month for Randy's TELUS line for two years now and now I can't talk to Randy on the phone.

Randy can't even talk or even hold the phone in his hand.

The purpose of the phone was a vehicle I would use to phone Randy daily.  I would let it ring four times so he knew I was thinking of him.

What utter cruelty.

Jason wanted to stay at least one hour with Randy but security told him he had to leave after twenty minutes.

2014-9-6 Email to lawyer for PGT

An email from April 6 2014 to the lawyer for the Public Guardian and Trustee.

To: Murray Wolf


I just came across your email.  I did not know who was going to represent Randy until now.  I suspect it is a bit late for us to get together.  A lawyer told me that it was good that the Trustee was involved because you the lawyer would be able to help me.  I hope so.

Very briefly I was able to have Don Morrison advise me on Friday.  At least I hope nothing goes wrong.  He hasn't had much time to go over the information so I do not know if he will be asking for a further adjournment or not.

I hope you do not consent to the VCH's new proposed order that no agents (friends) of mine attend at GPC.  This is a wrong step.  The friends I ask to go and see Randy three of them are retired RNs so they can tell me his state of health.  Each time I talk to Sam the social worker; it is always don't worry he is okay.  Nothing out of the ordinary.

From Wednesday I was told that Randy was unresponsive and could barely lift his head off the pillow.  I got a phone call from Pierre that said Randy was dying and he won't last the night.  At that time I was with Mr. Morrison and we went by taxi to see Randy.  

Morrison called ahead of time that he wanted to see Randy.  When he got there with me Ro and Tanu would not let me in to see Randy and Don said Randy looked okay he was sitting in his wheelchair sleeping with his Steeler's hat on.  I said to Don he never sleeps when he is in his wheelchair. 

 Later I spoke to Pierre and he said Randy was in his bed at the time he called me.  This was at 12:30 so the nurses propped him up to look reasonable. Pierre said that Randy was not sleeping; he was in a comma.

Within an hour when I got home there was an email saying that Randy was sent to VGH for observation.  He had septis. Septis is the leading cause of death in the US in ICUs and Randy was sent to a ICU stepdown unit.   I went there and saw him and he was out-of-it but  I noticed he had a very large bedsore/ucler which was black on his heel.  You get these wounds if you do not move, the blood stops circulating and amputation could happen. GPC puts him in a wheelchair and he sits in its for nine hours at a time.

At VGH at the same time Security came waiving the Trespass letter and I was asked to leave.  I waited on the sidewalk for five hours at Emergency until a friend came out and said that Randy was starting to look okay.  Later I was told that he is in a stepdown ward on the 10th floor.  His doctor Dr. Mackie who I phoned would not allow me to see Randy "as he did not known me" and had to go by the Trespass Order but he told me Randy is okay for at least the weekend.  They were watching Randy very carefully.

He said that Randy had sepsis pneumonia.

Randy is close to death and I can't be with him.

Just about everything in the Assessment Report is not true.  For close to two years I took Randy home for the afternoon and yet Calder said I would take him home without authoritization.  Calder is so used to writing confidential reports that he doesn't do proper research because they never go anywhere to be challenged.  A star chamber is what VCH has become.

The incident of October 21/22, 2013 was caused by GPC and I did was act in self-defence. I wanted the police to charge those who assaulted and imprisoned Randy but they refused.  The LPN Stephanie said that Randy was choking and his face was red created this lie later.  In Randy's condition he would never have a red face something to do with his trach and breathing and I had just suctioned him five minutes earlier.  He doesn't get enough blood into his face, he always looks pale.  But then Stephanie is a LPN won't know that.

I protect Randy like a mother bear protects her cubs.  It is a natural instinct and I should not be punished for it and Randy being punished which is bizarre. He is going to die soon; even I know that.

Up until January 29 2013 Randy had a private room which was rather isolated so I had very little contact with staff and then on the 29th they moved him to the open ward which forced the issue of my removal so I could not see Randy because the staff, visitors and residents were afraid of me.

None of these groups are afraid of me.  When I first got banned I asked over a year those on Randy's team about the banning and none of them said they even knew about the banning.  I asked residents and visitors and none of them were aware of my banning.

If Mr. Morrison got in touch with you yet, I can't send his contact information as he never gave it to me on Friday so I wait.  I have a meeting with him at 10:00 am on Monday at the RayCam community centre.  My cell phone is 778-689-2276.

Is it possible that a nurse can be hired so I can take Randy home and if there is a problem I can call 911.

"Coughlin, Kevin" PGT

I just got a disturbing phone call from Paul, a retired RN who went to see Randy.  He told me not to freak out but Randy was looking really bad.  He had to search for a nurse.  It looked like he wasn't' suctioned since the morniing shift. He was enveloped in mucous.  And he was coughing and coughing.  Finally a nurse came by and suctioned him.  Paul also said that he had a high fever and he might end up at VGH.  And I am banned from seeing him even if he goes to VGH.

I am so afraid that he is going to die and I won't be there.

And what did Kevin do, NOTHING

14 October 2018 Sunday @ 6:17 pm

I have been trying to go over the litigation paperwork.  I can barely read it.  I can't.  The lies are so huge they have to be believed. And I can't defend them. It is pointless.

Kevin Calder did a report Workplace Violence Assessment for VCHA.  His reporting skills should get him fired.

He says that someone observed me attempting to hit or run over staff with Randy's electric wheel chair.  That sounds lethal, a 2,000 lb vehicle.  I should have been charged with attempted murder, except that never happened as Randy did not have an electric wheel chair.

Who would dispute what he would write as he is an expert in Workplace Assessment of Violence Methodology (WAVR-21) and he is licensed. 

He did not even read my blog, he remarked that he only reviewed it.

Why would VCHA give a title to an employee "Workplace Violence Specialist."  It only means that the WVS has to look for violence in order to keep his job.

It is easy to write confidential reports if you write what your boss expects and nothing will ever go to litigation.

Everytime I try to peruse what happened I get agitated after a few paragraphs.  Sometimes it only takes one sentence.  I cannot read anything further.  It is like going into shock.  It is surreal.  The pain  and anger I do not want to meet.

10 October 2018 @ 7:16 am Wednesday

I haven't been able to sleep much this past week.  I just woke up and I was relieved that I was not anxious over the litigation, or seeing Randy, or thinking of Carolanne.  I was thinking about "legwarmers."

Years ago I came up with the idea to knit legwarmers for the homeless.  Not only for the homeless but also those that are in hospital and those elders that cannot afford to pay to heat their apartments.

I knew I needed help as only one person can only knit one pair at a time.  I needed an army of volunteers to knit them and a PR campaign to educate the homeless and others to wear them.  So, I approached Janice Abbott from Atira that has a craft section.  My idea did not fit into her retail model.

However, Janice was positive to what I wanted to do and would help as much as she could but she said that I would have to organize it.  Randy was in hospital then and I was spiraling to being a basket case.  At that time I couldn't organize a trip to New Westminster.

This idea coincides with my psychologist who suggested last week that I find something to do with my life to combat my wishful thinking to end it all.  There must be something I enjoy doing.  I assured him that I took no joy in anything. He suggested volunteering.  Not so easy at my age.

Both Randy and Carolanne were taken away from me by VCHA.  And Ro said that I would never be able to volunteer anywhere .  She would make sure that would happen.  Like what she did on 4 April 2014 when she phoned VGH Emergency saying not to allow me to see Randy.  Randy was dying and she knew it.  This direction came from a woman who visited her mother in a residential care facility every single day.

Prior to April 4 2014 I never was restricted from visiting Randy at VGH.  What happened at GPC had nothing to do with VGH.  Ro made the decision to send Randy to VGH as she knew he would die that weekend which would have happened if Don Morrison, a lawyer, did not visit Randy at 11:00 am.  At 12:00 pm I got a phone call saying that Randy was being transferred to VGH for observation.  She knew Randy was with a serious infection and imminent.  And now Randy was VGH's problem.  Randy died nine days later in intensive care.  13 April 2014 @ 8:00 pm

My psychologist will be happy that I now have a "maybe" goal.  A goal that was not forced on me.  A goal that would bring relief (i.e. joy) to those that are cold.

Why legwarmers/armwarmers are a good idea is because they are needed.  The wool yarn should be easy to get donated by Value Village considering that it sends to landfill 98% of garments they do not sell.  The yarn would not be in skeins, it would have to be recovered/recycled/unraveled from sweaters/garments already knitted by volunteers. It would be time consuming and if measured in dollars expensive.  But what is the $value of a life or $save the environment. It would not matter the weight or colour matching as the legwarmers would be worn under blue jeans/pj bottoms.  They would not be a fashion accessory but rather a necessity.  The best part of this idea is that the legwarmer can also be used as a armwarmer, a scarf, or a hat fastened by a safety pin.  They would seldom need washing, if ever.  The pattern is easy: knit one; plural one, see internet.  Pull the armwarmer down a bit, and you have a mitten.  Pull the legwarmer down a bit, and you have a toe-less sock.  Such a simple garment for the homeless, and others, so they are not cold.

Repurposing is environmentally sound.  .

Great idea but I won;t be able to do much until my bereavement is lessened.  Even with supports it will take time. Having one or two good days will not alleviate my pain.

ndy andCarolanne was taken away from and VCHA/PGT damaged my reputation sol I could not volunteer at a non-profit agency.

this is the second time I have tried to write this post and the contents mostly disappeared.  Now I am frustrated and angry that maybe someone is hacking my new post.  It is stressful.  

Gaslighting

You are to resign from the law society of british columbia and spend the rest of your life doing free community service in the DTES.  You know what you did so I do not have to explain it.  Rather than guilt you must be experiencing great satisfaction.  You client starting my basket case in 2010 and you ultimately improved the basket to itd ultimate conclusion. It only took eight years.

As I think back as to what really triggered me besides the bereavement, it was the pressure of being a self-litigant.  I could not get a lawyer as all of them were in conflict with VCHA/government.  That is, VCHA/PGT throughout the years gave all the lawyers work so they were all in conflict so they could not act for me.  In decades past this was called "a company town." All I had to mention is VCHA/PGT and the lawyer showed me the door. I knew I was in trouble because none of the lawyers I approached asked for a $retainer.

Although the judiciary is independent you could still use the rules to advance/be successful. You could win by technical default and a judge finally getting to the end of his patience with dealing with an old woman.

A requirement is full disclosure of all the emails which I was not able to fully list.  One batch is 67,000 emails.  There is no mechanism in email to just command gmail to print out everything.  It has to be done one email at a time.  From 1 to 67,702.  Since not being a lawyer I do not know what is relevant or not.  So each email had/has to be printed out and then each email/document has to be listed and typed out according to the rules of the supreme court of british columbia which list would be hundreds/thousands of pages.  Considering the time demands by the supreme court of british columbia to do things, it is/was impossible.  The defendants knew of my problems with listing the emails but not one of them offered a suggestion how I could fast track the process. And they all knew how to do it.

With the new gmail(this week) there is a function which I just found wherein you can just type in a party's name and a list shows each email associated with that name.  Rather than shifting through thousands of emails all I had to do was individually search by searching by the name of the party.  By magic all the emails I sent to Kip Woodward, the president of VCHA, showed up.  All I had to do was print them out.

You knew this and yet you intentionally overwhelmed me to the point of not wanting to do this.

You knew I was struggling with getting the emails listed to met the supreme court rules and yet you would not suggest how to expedit the process.  This problem was mentioned repeatedly in correspondence and at case planning conferences.  No one would tell me how to eliminate the stress. Just push her over the edge.  Make her do 1,000s of hours of work and she won't have time to respond to any applications to dismiss. Make her the best basket case they know are capable of.

You were advised nine days ago that Randy has the right to see me so why haven't you done anything to make this happen.  A lawyer wrote telling you of my rights
.

I am entitled to see Randy, to his medical records on demand, and to talk to those that do health care for him.

Are you a lawyer or are you not a lawyer.

Also you are to tell yours staff that doctor's orders except for basic care are to be approved by me. A doctor cannot put DO NOT MOVE orders on Randy which is now being used to imprison him and mght even cause his death as it means do not go to acute.

Also I want Randy's heart monitor alarm to be set at 110 as 150 or greater would lead Randy into cardiac arrest (death).

When Randy nearly died on November 18 2013 and December 26 2013 the alarms did not alarm.

A few days ago I got a flippant answer from Ro who said she talked to the RT and 150 was safe.

30 September 2018 @ 2::50 am

This past week has been very difficult for me.  Although I am in fragile mental health I am haunted that the defendants are taunting me with JUMP JUMP.  JUMP off a tall building to my death.

A few months ago when I was wanting to end it all, a reader of this blog phoned the Public Guardian and Trustee in the hope that the PGT would intervene and finally the caller was directed to Kevin Couglin who told the caller that the PGT does not do death.

Thinking back the caller was using reverse psychology. Don't do this as this is what the PGT/VCHA wants.

My thoughts go back to Randy and the tears he had.  He did not want to die either. We only wanted to see each other and VCH/PGT prevented us from doing so.

In correspondence dated 26 September 2018 from the Public Guardian and Trustee I was accused of wanting to delay the completion of the litigation INDEFINITELY.  That is not true, it is the Public Guardian and Trustee that is delaying the completion of the litigation by threats of using the Courts to overrule my physician's diagnosis that I am not well by upsetting me.  I need treatment/time before I can realistically proceed with the litigation. This litigation did not seriously start until September 2017. Up to then I was hoping for some sort of apology from VCH/PGT.  None came.

Simply put, I need an adjournment and the PGT is refusing to give me one by consent. Apparently according to the PGT/VCHA the law will be on their side.

Defending a court application is very taxing emotionally and expensive and the defendants know this.  In my fragile state it is extremely overwhelming and equally paralyzing with or without a lawyer.

With every veiled threat by the defendants to use the rules of court, my recovery is being further hindered and the time needed is extended. I cannot focus on getting well. It is the defendants who are causing the litigation to be delayed not me.

The list of defendants/witnesses who agree with the PGT/VCHA are as follows.  Each one of them are willing to gamble that I will take my life: Over what?  A simple request for an adjournment because I am suffering from complex bereavement and persistent PTSD. The defendants/witnesses know that I am actively suicidal.  to be actively suicidal one has to have a plan and I have one.
