Hello again
It is starting to get cold out and the shorts and no socks thing is starting to wear out. And the PGT replies to me with the statement of not helping me and this is standard. I have dealt with this the same thing before with another case manager. And it was not pretty.
They tell me that they are not going to help me out with the $3000 dollars I was promised. And the hospital is complaining I don't have a phone. And this is important. To get ahold of me. And he tells me if mom needs clothing the hospital will get it.
Just like when mom needed shoes and they have some made, at a cost of $1000, and they look like clown shoes and just as big. With no traction, for mom to walk. This is the way the PGT spends my mother's money. They waste it.
Now I am walking around in shorts and no socks. It is OK when I go, but coming back, when I can see my own breath. It is cold. My feet are getting cold and my legs are as well.
I have many things that are needed. Now that mom is in White Rock. There are many things to get paid. I was promised this money. Just as they do all the time. Promise something and then tell me they never said that.
So tonight. I got to mom's and I feed mom as usual. And then mom wanted to walk. Well out of her room we went and down the hall. I sat mom down in the nice chair for a few minutes and then mom wanted to walk back to her room. I am just ecstatic. At the fact mom made it back to her room. So she walk to the end of the hall and back. Over 100 feet. This is a women who has not walked in 2 years. She is doing fantastic, great and mom will be dancing with me in no time. Her mood is getting better. Mom is starting to speak a little better. Clearer.
I ran out of mom's cleaner, so I only had enough to clean her face. But I sang to her we listened to music I put moisturiser on her legs and arms. And completely cleaned and did her face. Mom fell asleep and was so relaxed she did not even want to walk to the door with me. That is great. She is so relaxed,
I am getting to know allot of people out in White Rock. People are coming up to me and talking to me. Nice place
I am so tired, as I took two doses of my medications this morning. And I can not even keep my eyes open.
GOD BLESS and good night

My thoughts and feelings. How this all effects both my mother and myslelf. Searching for dignaty and respect. For legal purposes I have to write this is my opinion

Everything
Hello
I am starting with the fact that ICBC and Translink are doing nothing for me and I am getting worse off. It is hurting more and more to take transit. Yet I will not stop going to see mom. So I have to deal with the pain. And my doctor. Well I wait for a few minutes of his time.
Now I where shorts and no socks. I have no jeans or socks. And the PGT was to help me with this and I have not heard anything from them. And the PGT, well Stephen Flynn, said they would give me $3000.00 to take care of everything that is needed. As long as don't press the car issue until the new year. At which time I can get help. Well that was 2 weeks ago now. And part of the money was for clothing and a jacket. But no response, yet. Just the same putting me off as usual.
The hospital, Oceanside, is complaining about getting in touch with me. I need a phone.
And on top of this. Well I went through mom's closet and there are allot of clothing that are gone. Just disappeared. The ghosts must be taking them. I have spent several thousand of dollars to buy mom nice clothing and what is in her closet is as follows. 80% of the clothing, is clothing that were mine and mom wanted them, so I gave them to her.What ever mom wants mom gets. Even the clothing off of my back.10% is clothing that mom had from at least 5 to 7 years ago. And the last 10% is the new clothing I have purchased her. I have the receipts and remember everything I bought her and wear I bought it.
Well either the staff at Riverview or Oceanside went on a shopping spree, Or, which I feel happened, my sister's are up to there same old pattern. Taking things from mom. They will strip her blind.
Just as they did with mom and dad's home. They conned them into selling it and then took everything in it. I mean everything. They just helped themselves. Knowing that 1/3 of it was mine and I wanted mom and dad to keep it. My sisters wanted the Royal Dalton China and just took it. Just as they are doing now. They have 0 taste in clothing. No Style. Which I do and they can just take it, as they have done with all my things, all my life.
Here is just one example. Both of my sisters have 0 creative talent. So through out school. They would take all of my drawings in, as their own, Of course they would get great grades. As I am talented.
I never had birthday parties, as my sister's and mine our days apart and she just dominated the day and I had to share everything. This is why, to this day. I never celebrate my birthday. Never did why start now.
So I visited mom today and both of us where happy to see each other. The staff wait for me to get their, to help feed her. I mean I help, I let mom do as much as she wants. But she, allot of the time. Just hands me the fork. I love this.
Mom wanted to walk, but she still is a little stoned from yesterday. And speaking of her walking. The staff want me to put a harness on mom. I am not going to put a harness on mom. Mom is not a animal. I will never do this to her. But they say, if something happens they are libel. I am looking after her. And I can take care of her fine. I lift her up everyday, and I think I am strong enough to be able to take care of my mother. And well, I will continue to walk mom without a harness.
Just like the doctor telling me mom will never walk or talk again. This is after meeting her once. I think you should not just rely on this opinion and ask someone who has been with her daily for 7 years. I know what mom can and can't do. Not the doctor. I know what happens with each medicine reduction, and when they reduce her anti psychotic medication. Mom starts to speak clearer. I have seen this for my self. And I know when mom started to loose her ability to speak. This is when they started her on these drugs.
Before I go on, I would like to say, I am cold. I can't seem to get warm. While out, as long as I am moving and I am warm up top. My legs are warm. But now I am not moving, I am cold. Or my place is really cold. Well it isn't cold in here. I is just me. I know I can deal with the shorts and no socks issue, as long as my feet are warm, I guess I will be OK. For how long I don't know. But I will go on.
Well bed time. Or TV time. Need to eat, but that is not going to happen, any time soon. So
GOD Bless and good night

Mom's clothing is gone.
Hello
I looked through mom's closet tonight and all the clothing that I have bought for mom in the last many years are gone. Mom only has her old clothing and the stuff I have given her. This really pisses me off. Thieves.
It is either Riverview and their staff or my sisters. You decide. As it is mom went to the dentist today and the dentist said mom has tooth decay, plus the other problems she had before. Which is Riverview's fault. They feed mom crap and all the wrong mediation, which caused major tooth problems.
Mom goes in their with perfect teeth and a ton of brand new clothing and leaves with damaged teeth and no clothing. I wonder what happened.
I would like to know where the clothing went.
Well the PGT is not helping, Stephen is just playing the same game, with me, he does with everyone. The give me a few days line. And then puts everyone off for months and months. I tell him I need to replace mom's chain and cross. He says no. But the chain was ok when I was allowed in the ward, but when I get banned it disappeared. Isn't that funny.
So I want all of mom's clothing replaced and the chain replaced. And I want to get a letter from a lawyer stating that my sister's are not allowed to remove anything from my mothers room. And if they do, the hospital is libel.
I will not take this anymore, from the PGT or any hospital. So I have been waiting for days now for Stephen to respond. I think he is a coward for not dealing with me for knowing the truth about how he deals with all his clients.
This whole thing is just disgusting. And this should not happen to a senior. Who steals from seniors like this. Well I know my sisters do, And maybe the hospital staff. I dont' know. It has to stop. Mom is in a locked ward. Don't they see, when people come in with nothing and leave with a large bag of clothing. What is the deal with this.
I will be contacting the Director of Ocean side and discussing this with them.
So myself. Well I still only have shorts and it is starting to get to that time of the year when pants and socks are needed. So I have shorts and dress clothing. Nothing in between. Isn't this great. I am ok but it was a little cold today.
Ok I am going I am hungry and going to bed.

I enjoy my ride
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.
