Hello
So I would like to start out by saying that it is already starting,
Now before I go on I would like to start by saying Riverview deliberately changed mom's medication just before the assessment of Eagle Ridge Manor and with all medication when you change medications there are side effects. And with this in mind mom failed the assessment. And then mom had no choice but to go to Ocean Side.
Now before and when mom got to Ocean Side, I was informed that the family would be involved in my mother's health care plan. But this is not the case.
So I could not wait to get home tonight to start writing.
First tonight. mom was physically assaulted tonight by another patient. How do I know, you say. I was their and involved in trying to stop this person from hitting mom. They grabbed mom's wheel chair and pulled themselves towards mom and started hitting mom. They hit mom in the scholder first and then was hitting mom in the head, repeatedly. At least 5 or 6 times this person hit mom in the head. And then I was told that I should of called them, while mom was being hit. I don't think so. Telling the person to let go of mom's wheel chair would be a clue, un to it's self. I am going to stop now, discussing this matter. So I do believe that mom was sexually assaulted in Riverview.
Now onto the next issue, while visiting mom the psychiatrist came over and asked a few questions and then we started talking about mom walking. And the psychiatrist started on the fact that mom needs 3 people to help her walk. Well I just said mom walks and I just steady her.
Now I am starting a new line just for this. The psychiatrist turned to me and said. These are her exact words. " As long as mom is under are care, you will do what we say." Exact words said Dr. Johnson. Might not be correct spelling. I did say that I am visiting with mom right now and I will not discuss this now. I will arrange a meeting and we will discuss this then. I will also be speaking with the legal department before this meeiting. And she said something, I am not sure. I started to speak on this, and then just said I am not discussing this, I am visiting with my mother and I do not want her or myself to get upset.
At this point I think the doctor went in an wrote this all down. She does not know that I now have gone as far as I can with my education in psychology. And I am an equal. I know she was red in the face. A little upset I think. For just stopping it in it's tracks. This is the only way it is going to be from now on. I will not dicuss mom's care while visiting with her.
So I think that they might try to ban me from seeing mom. I was already banned from walking her. Come on. So I think it is time to get some legal advice. I have to go see and talk to Pivot. This is an organization that is set up to assist. thoses who can't fight for themselves. I have spoken with them before and now it is time to see them. I have allot of isues to discuss with them, sorounding mom.
And myself and disability.
Enough of this, I am gettting upset and I do not like to be in this mood. Now the PGT is to help me out,
I do think it is time to move to White Rock. But I have nothing. When I say nothing I mean nothing. I only own a set of decent knives, an old TV, some baking pans, an old compter that I put together from other old computers. A little bit of clothing, some towels and sheets.
This is due to things being stolen and lost and ruined by fire and flodding. I really need living room furniture, bedroom furniture, and all kitchen stuff. So if anyone has any extra items. You know where I am. I am praying to my GOD for help this weekend.
Oh yea I found 4 places within 3 blocks of the hospital.
So I think for tonight I have to go, I will let you know about all that is happening. And I do have some other news.
GOD Bless and good night.

Mom and I
I changed the name of the blog, because it is more appropriate this way. It is true to what is happening in our lives. All the hassles, the fighting, the disagreements. that I have to go through to have dignity in mom`s life. To see that mom get`s what she deserves. To make sure mom is treated fairly and she gets the right treatment. Which by the way, has not happened so far.
I do not believe she has Alzheimer`s. I believe mom had a stroke and I am going to get a specialist take a look at her. I am going to, I am going to make the appointment. Not the hospital. I can not trust them. As always.
I have said that I have been walking mom and she is doing great. All I do is steady her and mom does all the work.
Now tonight I get a letter stating that I am not allowed to walk my mother. Now this is how mom is in the wheelchair to begin with. They still live in the past and are not aware of modern medicine.
Before I go on, I would like to state that in the beginning, when the director and I had a meeting, and they told me that they had to deal with their legal department about me writing this blog. And I mentioning to them that if their is nothing to write about, l guess it will be positive statements that I write about. Now I like the place. But it is the same old staff, with the same old belief``s . And if there is something to write about I will write it. With no hesitance.
I research the modern treatments for this disease. And one of the things I know is that after a hip surgery they get the patients up and walking the same day. This is why mom is in a wheelchair now. No one got her up and walking. I am and will continue to do so.
Their is only a occupational trearapist their and no physiotherapist. What they do is not going to get mom walking again. They are not qualified to do this. It is the job of the pysiotreapist job. And they can not find one to work at the hospital.
And the other thing is they keep telling me that things have to go through them. Not so. The dental, never have to go through them. I tell the dental office what mom needs and they book her and tell the staff at Ocean side when mom is going. Please don`t think I am an idiot as they are doing. This gets me mad and causes me to write and write.
This Blog is not going to stop. It is about mom and I and our journey through this disease. This is our story.
I have to speak to the occupational therapist and talk to her and let her know I will be writing a waiver. Releasing the staff from responsibility.
The main problem I have is the people are to worried about their breaks than the patients. If this is the case they should not be working in this type of job anymore. Sorry my opinion only.
It takes allot of compassion to work in this job. I believe that are brains can change and we can re- write the brain.
Example is how I taught myself not to get sick and to manage pain. I no longer need freezing to go to the dentist.The sound of the drill puts me to sleep.
This is how I have trained my mind. And we can re- write our thoughts and beliefs and how we do things. All of our lives. That we do not loose this ability in our old age. Our minds are amazing things.
Again I will not write these things if there is a positive change for the better for mom. As in mom walking and talking again.
Mom will walk and talk again. I know this. I have a treatment plan that mom has to get on. Now I have to get the hospital on board. Well I will.
What I to do now is talk To their legal department and the director and phyciatrist again. And have a serious talk this time. It seems They did not hear me the first time.
I have other news. But it is not the right time to tell you yet.
In the mean time. It is moms Birthday today and I do not even have money to get mom a cake or even a card or a single flower. This is due to the PGT
I apologized for my harshness and nothing.
I want to move to White Rock and the PGT said they would help me with moving. Well that is $2000 right there. And then I would get help with the SUV that would be a one time payment of $5000.This is $7000 in my opinion. If I calculated this correctly.
This I need right away, not in January. As this 6 hour trip is very hard on me. Well it is not. I just can not get the things done I need to do for my health. And my life.
I will do whatever is necessary for mom. But I need to do somethings for myself. I do not get burnt out. I am OK.
^
Well OK if you call not eating everyday, or not having pants, or socks. And have to wear shorts all the time. And not having a proper jacket for this weather.
But besides this I am OK and I keep as healthy as I can.
I have to go.
GOD Bless and good night
