Im really freaked out right now. Im shaking and crying and feel vulnerable as hell. Theres no lock on my bedroom door in the nursing home. Okay, but. This is the sixth scary incident between me & an able-bodied, seventy-year-old, six feet tall man with dementia. My pants were on the floor, I was sitting on the commode, He opened my bathroom door from the other side. I said occupied! Please excuse me, close the door! and he kept coming, slowly, strongly. I pushed my HELP alarm in the bathroom, and it echoed with five other types of alarms that were ringing. I had to wrestle the door shut away from him, lock it quickly, and then I shook and cried and couldnt stop. I feel so vulnerable. Im going to lie down awhile. I was supposed to take a shower, but I cant be naked right now. Four of my previous bad moments with @ were when I was naked in the shower. He hurt my shower aide when she wrestled him out of the room the last time & he scratched & bruised her back, & saw me anyway. They finally put locks on the shower door (after 28 years of her begging for one) the next day. I dont know how much more I can take.
