Tammy can be a hellful.
A hellful?
handful. So one of the things I had to leave out of the ad.
So here's a plan.
We just talked to all of them.
Debate. Meditate.
Himmulate. Yeah.
I don't know.
But anyway, make a decision.
That's mutual.
Yeah, I'm excited.
Then I'm hiring a nurse.
I need somebody here.
It will be stern with Tammy.
I need somebody to be the know person because I'm not very good at that myself.
Hey, I'm TiSA.
Nice to meet you.
Right.
Tammy.
All right, Tammy.
A little bit. A little bit.
He lit it, too, ain't it?
So you're okay with dogs, right?
Oh, yeah. And babies.
I have a six month old.
Oh, girl. Yeah.
Today we're going to meet three potential nurses for Tammy.
You look familiar.
Well, I live in. Oh, I live in Henderson.
Only three people got back to me for my ad about being Tammy's nurse.
They must know how she acts.
People talk.
I'm 22.
I've been taking care of people since I was, like, 13 years old.
I don't know anything else.
That's about all I know how to do.
Oh, this thing go to work.
She's too young and too sweet.
Tammy will run all over this little girl and make her cry.
Have you ever been trying to clean a man and things happen?
Yes. Oh, God.
She's probably walked in on a.
Couple of people.
I walked in on a dead person that farted.
Well, I don't like I'm saying that.
How do you feel about Amy farting.
All the time and Tammy burping all the time.
And maybe a little bit of diarrhea?
Well, you just me. You just intentionally just walk and poop.
Is that what you're saying? It just comes out.
Sometimes we just come out.
And sometimes it's not even one.
And she just lifts her leg and just doing dog.
Yeah, well, let's not do that.
So if I want to go to the pool, be willing to take me.
Of course. I'm not wearing a bikini.
No, no, no. I'll go swimming with you.
We could have fun together.
Totally.
Tammy wants a friend to go to the movies, get her nails done.
I'm all right with, you know, her being friendly with them.
That's fine. But I'm paying for a caregiver and somebody to help her get more
independent. Is there anything that you won't do that's like, completely off the
table?
I'm 53.
Nothing bothers me.
I do just about everything.
So if I wanted you to go with the liquor store, you do it?
I don't think so. Well, you say anything.
Like when she don't get her way, sometimes she can be a bitch.
Well, that's okay. As long as you can stand somebody to be blunt with you.
That's exactly what she needs.
Okay, we're getting there.
I like your attitude, and she might not take Tammy.
You know, she looks tough.
She just needs somebody like, No, this is not a tea day or whatever.
I got you. I got you.
So, can I ask you another question?
Did you really eat 32 meals in two days?
You're lying.
That was a lie to me. You're lying.
Don't stop that. I'm not lying.
You're feeling. Make me mad.
Amy, stop. You're lying.
To me. Actually, I was having this meal delivery service there for a while to control
her emotions.
And I guess it was my bad.
I left the meals over at her house.
That was on a Friday when I came back in on a monday.
All the meals were gone.
I posted an on social media.
It was no way I could eat 32 meals.
That's 16 meals in two days for two days.
Those are small. There's no way.
I can't believe this nurse brung up the mules.
It's complete bull. I ain't no freakin way anybody can eat 16 meals a day.
It makes me angry.
Thank you so much for coming.
It's been a pleasure meeting you.
It's been a pleasure.
Thank y'all for your time.
And y'all have a great day.
Nice meeting you.
We'll give you a call.
And I hope you have a nice day.
I really liked her.
You need a job with her.
Quack, quack. Oh!
Whoo! Today is a nurse's first day on the job.
Thank God we finally picked a person.
Tammy wants a friend, and I need somebody to help her get more independent.
So that was a whole compromise with me and Tammy, and she was just fun to kick it with.
I need this to work because my kid is my number one priority now.
Man.
Hello? Oh, I'm.
Sorry. How you doing?
Good. How are you? I'm good.
How are you doing, Tami?
Okay. I'm a home health aide for 30 years.
I'm from Henderson, Kentucky.
I'm a pretty easygoing person.
I like to help people.
I'm just who I am.
What you see is what you get.
Amy and Tammy, you can tell they sisters, they look like they pretty close.
They kind of entertaining.
So what are we going to do today?
A little housecleaning.
Meal prep.
Okay. Hey, you like to cook?
Maybe we can go for a walk.
We'll go for a walk.
Just to the mailbox and back or something.
Damn it, Amy. No.
Now want to.
Tammy.
Keeping Timmy mobile and up doing stuff is important because if she loses her mobility
she will be bedbound after that is death.
Looks like I don't need to be.
Okay, You go ahead and pee.
I need to use it to keep Tammy on track, to get Tammy exercising.
And she's there to help clean.
Help cook.
Help is the key word there.
Not do it for her.
So I want to pull tissue away to the side to let her know the rundown.
Tammy can be kind of stubborn sometimes, so stick to your guns.
Oh, really? No matter how much she gets pissed off.
Does she act like that?
Yeah. She's rude sometimes.
Really? Yeah. She don't get her way.
She's rude. Oh, she's burned every bridge she had.
I'm the last family member with that green.
Oh, well, we'll be.
Well, I'm gonna do my best with her.
She just got to get some.
Trusty Tammy can be a helpful.
I help a handful.
So one of the things I had to leave out of the ad.
Can I put this stuff in the bathroom?
Yeah. You want me to go ahead and wash you up and stuff?
I'm going to take it back. You sure?
Yes. Okay.
My first impression of Tammy, you got to kind of push her.
I think she just got to have somebody there with her to help her and keep her going,
because we all have our days.
It might be some days she might say, Bitch, get out of here.
That's cool. Was I ain't going nowhere today.
So what we're going to have to eat.
Do you use a cookbook?
Oh, you want to put a little bit of this and a little bit of that?
So you're not giving out no recipes, are you?
I can't give away all my secrets.
I wouldn't say I'm excited to have a stranger in my house going through my things,
but it might be nice to have someone to talk to and kick it with.
The hell am I fixing on the salad?
No. No.
Hell, no.
She can steam at broccoli and cauliflower.
Yeah, but the burger.
None of this makes sense.
Once again, Amy went to the store and didn't get the right things to make a decent meal
that I would know how to prepare.
What? Can you help me? Is it me in that diet?
A lot of meat.
I'm not making hamburger patties.
Well, let's just make them.
And then you look like you.
Tami and teacher having a discussion about the meal prep.
But Tammy, of course, has to give her an attitude.
The whole idea of getting a home health nurse was to make lives easier for Tammy,
Amy. But Tammy and TiSA can't get along.
There ain't no way for this to work.
Hey, let's get.
Let's get chopping.
I'm gonna put the meat in here, and you get that far going.
Well, you're going to help me, aren't you?
You're going to start me to death.
No, you ain't no baby. You got this.
When she gets mad like that and she don't have the things that she wants.
You got to kind of push her.
I don't want her. Never say that I can.
That's. That's.
That's not going to go.
She can't do it.
Where'd you learn how to cook?
Try by ear. Hmm.
Girl, these are not seem like a pretty good team.
Aaron, seasonal around is a lot better than having Amy around.
He is not going to argue with me and she does just like playful where Amy's just the
bitch.
And she got this little stove going.
I love it.
Throughout the day there was a little resistance on Tammy's part, but I think TSA
is the right fit. I'm hoping she can help Tammy stay on the right path to the diet and
eventually get the surgery and allow me to take care of my own family.
Okay, everybody, this is good.
Nice and healthy.
High in protein.
I'm gorgeous, Mama.
There's a difference between baby.
Some of those theses. I'm there.
This is good.
I like.
