Hello again
So today it was full of dealing with the nonsense of the government.
First I have had no problem saying that I have been receiving assistance and that I get the funds for the bus pass from the PGT or that I receive $150 to purchase mom drinks and snacks. Which don't even cover her drink costs. So I use my money to pay the rest. Well some how I get the money
But the first issue is social services. Tomorrow I will receive a $5.00 cheque from welfare. This is the money I am to live off of for the month of January. I am serious about this, and to prove it, tomorrow when I get home I will be taking a picture of it and posting it on this blog. Permanently.
The next issue is the PGT and Stephen Flynn. And how he is no longer going to supply the funds for the bus pass to see mom or the $150.00 in funds for mom's drinks and snacks. Which do not even cover mom's drinks. And I use funds, that come to me some how to pay for the rest. I really don't know where it comes from but I am able to pay the rest of the cost's of mom's food and drinks. Stephen also told me he will no longer cover the cost's of mom's products I use on her, for her spa treatment.
I told him that if we don't solve this problem amicably, I will be forced to take action. And I am taking action and he is all pissed off. I think he has to learn to read, as I sent him a few emails stated this. I have been putting up posters around the office. And put 30 up tonight on my way home.
Now about Oceanside. Remember when I wrote about being told I could not walk mom anymore.
Because they were worried about their liability. Not mom's happiness or health. And how I put mom to bed at night. Well they now tell me that I can't put mom to bed anymore. They again are worried about their liability, not mom's happiness. About themselves, not the patient.
So I will no longer be pushed about by their nonsense. Tomorrow I will tell them that I will be continuing to put mom to bed and when I see the written documentation that states that a son cannot look after his mother or do things for them. It actually is really pissing me off right now. I brought up the walking of mom and how they, to date, have not walked her. No response from the staff member.
So which every one of you read this daily. Get it from a legal source. As in from the BC health minister. Fraser Health somewhere were it is written for all to see. And then show me. I am not going to do this again.
Trust me there is not going to be a situation like that at Valleyview, where I was banned from the ward. And that of the psychiatrist telling me "As long as she is under our care you do what we say" Not going to happen.
When the staff would not let me put her to bed tonight, mom reached out to me, for me to stop this. Mom was hurt and very upset. This hurt me greatly to see the pain on my mother's face. The fact that this is our time and our routine. This is what we do. As it is, from the moment I get their the staff have nothing to do, except take her to the washroom and change her.
Come on now, what is your problem. This is my mother and I will do what I want with her. Mom should not been given the drugs she has been given and mom should not be in this place to begin with. If they stopped the drugs, mom can speak and tell you what is bothering her. But no. Drugs are needed. To chemically restrain the individual. And with this comes the physical restraint.
Their is no concern for the patient in this. It is only their liability they are concerned about.
Well a few days left until Christmas and as it stands, Christmas is going to be, well not that happy.
But the best part is that I get to spend it with mom and be with her for the day.
I just wanted to shower mom with gifts and to maybe have some for myself for once. It has been, GOD only knows the last time I received a gift. But as long as mom gets allot of them. It is OK.
Well I have not a cent left to my name. And I don't have anyway of getting mom anymore drinks or snacks or even cook her dinner. As she is not eating much. And the staff are watching to see how much liquid mom is taking in. Well day after day I get their and mom is so thirsty it is not funny, and she has that mung on the side of her mouth from being so dehydrated.
I am going now, I am starving and nothing to eat. Really, nothing at all in my home. I don't even have any tea.
I am getting depressed again and I can't do this anymore.
GOD bless and good night
Kris
