Hello
Today was a day, of waiting, I needed to go to the doctor and well I waited 1 1/2 hours to see the doctor 10 minutes. Doesn't that get you a little steamed. Well not for me. It was ok. Another test of patients. I am an extremely patient person. I have to be. With all of what life throws at me. Yet it is all good. Ok I could eat. And have some jeans and socks. And maybe a jacket that keeps me dry. But other than that I am fairly warm. Actually I left wearing a tee shirt and a sweater and my wind breaker. And I had to remove my sweater. Yes I was also wearing shorts.
This waiting got me to White Rock, 45 minutes late. But mom was still happy to see me. This is good and I am glad. I do love my mother. And mom loves me and I am the only one that mom trusts. As soon as I got their mom wanted to walk and this is good. Mom started to walk and told me which way to go and that is the way we went. Because we have been walking so much mom was not able to walk to far. She understood. And now mom wants to try getting up by herself. In her room there is an device that will lift her up. Mom pointed to this and I knew what she wanted.
While visiting the doctor, we had a conversation about mom and telling him that mom and I have conversations all the time and I understand her. As the others don't. The doctor just said we have our own language. I never thought of it that way. But he is right. We do. I just pay attention. Well I also studied non verbal communications. And I watch people all the time. Their facial expressions and I can tell what most people are feeling and if I am speaking with someone. I can tell if they are lying. Right away. It is cool, but people don't like me reading them. It is a habit. Oh well. I can't do anything about it.
Now, while visiting mom. Mom needed to use the washroom. and the care aid tells me that they took her before dinner. While I told them mom has to use the washroom. Mom did. And before the staff got there to take her. Mom wanted me to take her to the washroom. Mom is ok with this. I don't know if I am ok with this. Ok I would put her on the toilit, but not wipe her. I am not sure if I could do that. But if mom is ok with me taking her. I should be ok with that.
Tonight, after giving mom her beauty treatment. Well actually, while giving her, the beauty treatment,. mom fell asleep. I put a blanket on her and kissed her good night and then I left. I am so thank full that I have my mother. I still don't know what I am going to do after she passes away. GOD bless she lives for a long time to come. Well that is my plan. With the proper vitamins and supplements and herbs, she will. Cool !
I need to get busy getting research grant applications. So I can start the two year research study on alternative treatments for Alzheimer's and Dementia. This is why I need money. To get these applications in.
Well the ride home was good. I met a women from Texas and spoke with her through out the trip. I started to get my accent back. The one I came back to Canada with. The southern drawl. It bought back memories. Of when I came back and no body believed me when I said I was born in BC. I even went for a job interview and got into an argument with the Director about how I was Canadian. She did not believe me. Even though I showed her my birth certificate. She just laughed and said I may of been born here, but I grew up in the states. Not so. BC boy all the way. And proud of it.
So I started to speak that way with her and people were looking at us. Because we were speaking so fast. I did not keep the accent when I got home.
Well I do have to go now, as I have to get to sleep. I am hungry and tired. And I need to do allot of things tomorrow/today.
GOD Bless and good night.
Kris
