Hello again
Saturday, mom had to wait 1 1/2 hours for someone to get her ready for bed and put her into bed.
Now, it was the two nurses I have problems with and they had time, but ignored mom and went to the other side and looked after someone else.
You see, when the door opens on mom's room, this means I am done with mom's spa treatment and it is time for her to go to bed.
They all know this.
So I am not afraid of much. But the biggest thing in my life I am afraid of is, if something happens to mom, I am 60 km's away. And that means 45 minutes by driving and I take the bus. And it does not run that late.
So if something happens in the middle of the night, I can't be their for her, to hold her hand, to make sure she gets to the hospital. As they are not nurse and I can't and won't trust them. To much experience with them over the years.
This would kill me faster than a bullet. I just need to be near her in case something does happen.
Now the best part of my day is when I get their. Mom hears my voice and reaches her hand out for me. I have learned to do things with one hand as mom wants to hold my hand the whole time I am their. And this is no problem for me.
But the best part of the spa treatment for mom is. When I was her feet and lower legs. First I use a cloth and get her feet and lower legs wet. Then I use a very nice cleanser and wash and massage her feet and lower legs. Then I take the cloth again and wipe some of the soap off of her. Well this is the part that makes mom's face light up. I take a water bottle and fill it full of warm water and pour this over her lower legs and feet. Then I repeat it with hot water and then one more time with hotter water. Well mom loves this. As the next step is cream/lotion for her feet and lower legs. The products from Bio therm, comes out cold, so the hot is followed by massaging her feet with the lotion which is cold to apply. This hot and hotter than cold treatment for her lower legs and feet, put mom to sleep.The last step is to spray her feet with a Bio therm refreshing spray. This is also cold and mom just loves this.
Tonight I washed her hair as well. As mom only gets a bath on Friday's, so I try to keep her hair clean. And mom likes how soft my hair is and now, thanks to using Dove on her hair. Mom's is just as soft now. And loving it. I treat her with the daily spa treatment to help her feel great and to help her keep clean. I wash her lower legs, feet, arms and hands.
I am so afraid of something happening to mom that it freaks me out. That I am not their.
As well as the fact I can't take her out and do things for her. Take her to visit her best friend, who is still alive. Mom has been friend with this lady for over 40 years. Best friends. And Mrs Elliott is not doing well either.
Tonight I brought mom a great meal. She really likes it. I brought her a grilled chicken breast over a salad. The salad, has red peppers, red onions, white onions, mushrooms, cucumbers, bean sports and spinach. With some extra old white cheder on top. I bring this salad for her often and mom loves it. It has everything one needs. Extremely healthy. As well as a nice creamy dressing. After dinner, mom finished the lemon pie I made the other night for her. Half yesterday and the rest tonight. And my meal tonight is hamberger helper. Yes you read right. Only the best for mom. I am happy with this arrangement.
So GOD bless and good night
Kris
