Hello
Well today I could not get a hold of anyone at ICBC or Translink and the fact that my phone does not work, means no business and no busness means no money. So I now have a eviction notice and if I don't pay my rent soon I am out.
I have people sending me emails. Wanting my service. I need to speak with them. And because ICBC and Translink are just playing games with me. As it is expected. But what about the person who is in extreme pain all the time.
I will say this. I have a high tolerance to pain. I can go to the dentist and get work done without freezing. Actually, the sound of the drill puts me to sleep.
But this pain is way beyond what I have ever felt before. When I walk it feels like my leg is going to snap off. And it hurts to take the bus. Walking is something else. It is like, well I cannot walk without my can. I have tried and my legs just gave out. I have to put extreme pressure on my cane just to walk. And getting to the bus loop. Well this is another thing, by the time I get their. The pain is unbearable. Nothing like I have ever felt before. My leg is numb. Trust me. I have jabbed it several times already. I have severe sharp pains and the throbbing in my butt and hip.
But to ICBC and Translink. If I do not get some compensation right away and a wage until I am able to do the things I need to do. Like clean and cook and do my laundry without having someone do it for me. I will start blogging about them. Oops I am already. But I mean I will put their names on here with there contact numbers. And I will blog away about how they are treating the injured people. Translink on how it does not are about its passengers. A passenger who has been loyal to translink for years now. I can get anywhere I need to get by transit. Trust me I have traveled all over the lower mainland. I mean all over.
I have gone to Mission and Abbostford by transit.. West coast express to mission and bus to Abbostford. The only problem was I could not get back. I had to take Greyhound. But other than that I have conducted business by transit. And now. It hurts to take the bus. Never have I had this problem.
I had to travel all over the place for writing the representative agreements with clients. Had no problems with it. I cannot do this now. As I will be in to much pain to deal with the clients in a compassionate way. As I need to do.
This is a very sensitive situation and a very hard thing to think about and write. These rep agreements. It has to be done with allot of compassion and understanding. I cannot be in pain and then take pain killers. I then will not be able to concentrate.
Anyways enough about me. This blog is about my mother. Riverview is continuing to give mom the anti psychotic drugs and mom is just out of it. Even though I have said not to do this over and over again. And do they listen. They just ignore me. And tell me to let the professionals handle it. Well what is a professional.. Is someone with degree's a professional. What they actually mean, Is mind your own business and we will do what we want to your mother. Even if kills her. We will just cover it up. As they do with everything. Like my mom being sexually assaulted. They deny it ever happened or anything like this every happens.
It is all over the Internet about these things happening in institutions and homes. Well of course it happens. They patients are so stoned they don't have a clue what is going on.
I know with my mother. That when the decrease mom's med's she can speak clearer. I know exactly when mom started to loose her speech. It was when mom was in Abostford in the home their. When they let another patient hurt mom and gave drugs to mom to calm her down. In stead of trying to listen to her. This is one of the major side effects of these drugs. Loosing the ability to speak.
So tonight, I could hardly understand mom and her eyes were glassy, pupils dilated. Of course anyone that knows anything. Knows they are stoned. Period. She did not want to eat.
And the arm that she cannot use, was just cold. Very cold. So mom motioned for me to hold that hand. Which I did and rubbed it as well.I am always hot and give off allot of heat and mom knows this. So I warmed her arm up as much as possible.
Mom did not want me to leave. Even though she was extremely tired. Mom wanted me to stay and just hold her hands. Keeping her hands and arms warm. I cannot believe the doctor told me That if you don't use it you will loose it. Come on now your a doctor and you know better than this You know it is the drugs you give her that has caused this problem and if something is not done about it soon. Mom will rely loose it. As in having it amputated. Her arm was blue when I got their. And after rubbing her arm. The colour came back.
What kind of crap is this, anyways. This is exactly why I write this blog and will continue to write it. When this kind of abuse is stopped, I guess I won't have anything left to write about.
This is why I started the Alzheimer's Dementia Seniors Abuse Action Coalition. www.adsaac.ca To put a stop to this abuse. To start to monitor all the homes and institutions for this. And to report it. To the government, the world elder abuse commission. To ban all use of all anti psychotic medication use for seniors with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
I am tired of my mother not living a life. knowing full well. My mother is in their. Full of life and just wanting to live. It I see in my mom's eyes the real her. And mom just wanting to live the rest of her life with respect and enjoying herself. Not being locked up and drugged like this.
This is worse than a jail. It is a dying machine. To just sit and be locked up and drugged. To not do anything but sit their all day long. Fed cold food. With no nutrients in it at all. I have had this discussion over and over again with the dietitian.
I will stop for know. I am getting extremely upset now. At how my mother and how she is not even enjoying her retirement.
GOD Bless and good night
