Hello again.
So mom is still not eating much. She had turkey, mashed potatoes and green beans and carrots for dinner. She only ate the turkey and very little of the mashed potatoes.
Thank GOD I had some fruit for her. And thank GOD my roommates drink. I was able to take in the empties in and purchase some fruit for mom. This she ate, after almost begging her. Telling her that I am worried that she is not eating much and needs to keep her strength up. She was just tired though. And wanted to go to bed and have the spa treatment.
She put her hand on my face and this is her sign that she wants to have her spa treatment done. This she did, almost as soon as I arrived and gave her something to drink.
But I got mom changed and into her bed. I washed her face, arms and lower legs. Then the lip balm, face and neck cream and her eye cream. Those are three separate creams. Then a separate cream for her legs. A great cleanser, and the same cream for her arms and separate cream for her hands and nails. Thanks to Bio Therme. Fantastic products. Keeping mom's skin wrinkle free. I got rid of her puppet lines, no lines around her eye's. Smoothing out her neck. And mom is now 83 years old. Looking 60.
This I do every night. Every night. Without fail.
I carry about 50 lbs worth of things to mom's and back daily. I have multiple injuries from car accidents, a dozen or so over the last 10 years. You think I would be flush, but no, ICBC has a way of helping out and then pulling the rug out from under your feet. So you are left struggling and broke as well as injured. You either settle or go on welfare. Only to pay back all you receive from welfare. Then you settle, because your broke and injured. You settle early and don't receive anything that you would of obtained, if you were to wait until a court date.
So all of these accidents that were other people's fault, I am still injured and broke. I spent allot of the last bit of funds on mom, well most of it. And some on university. Now I have nothing, at all. And I am getting worse, I have many injuries, many. But this will not stop me from being their for mom. And fighting for her rights. As I have done all along.
And now, I made the decision to move to White Rock and have a place that I can bring mom over too. I have lived in furnished places for the last 4 years, due to everything I owned being stolen from me. From a roommate. And I have nothing. I have just about finished packing and I mean I have nothing. I set of sheets, a pillow, boxes of mom's belongings
No TV or stereo. A computer that I put together from older computers. Windows XP, can't run Windows 7 and a printer that was given to me, because the ink dried up. Easily fixed. Just soak the ink cartridges in warm water. Make sure you put them into a bag first. Let them soak for a couple of hours and good as new again. The ink is still working fine, in this printer. But the copier does not work, nor the scanner. But it prints.
Not good enough for me to restore all of mom's photo's. This I will need a decent Epson printer. The best for photo's around. Prints the best for this type of restoration. I still need to discuss getting the photo's from the PGT. They are still refusing to give them to me. So they sit in their storage, rotting, and costing mom money. Mom only has a few things in storage. As my sister's took everything else mom and dad owned, when they conned them into selling their house and moving to a farm in Langley. Way out thier in the middle of no where. This I know mom and dad did not want.
But I digress, I will be on the PGT once I finish my move. But again, I now have a place that is a basement suite and can bring mom over for visits and have some family dinners. But again, I have nothing to put into it.
I asked the PGT for funds to get mom a lifting chair, but they don't think mom needs this. I am planning on having mom over as much as possible. Not once in a while. The place is not far at all from mom's home. A $10.00 cab ride. If that. I am moving to White Rock for mom's sake. Not mine. It is a little out of the way from everything. I have to travel, by bus to get to the Bay, where I buy mom's clothing. Half an hour a way. Where it is on my way to the bus loop now.
Mom was to stay in Coquitlam, but, again the doctor at Valley View, changed mom's medication two weeks before her assessment. And mom was not accepted because of her reaction to the new medication.
I am begging anyone for help. I have run out of numbers to call for help. I now have an empty suite and nothing to put into it. This alone is going to be very depressing. As it stands, my mind is not really there when I am visiting mom. I notice it, as I am not completely paying attention to what she is saying, and mom is saying allot the last few days. I can't concentrate fully. I am worried about things.
I wanted mom over right away. And I don't even want to be in their now. I will be. OK there is wireless included in the rent. So I can continue to write this. And I guess continue to watch things off the Internet. So it is not that bad. Oh yea, except I will be sitting on the floor, sleeping on the floor. And with empty cupboards. As in no dishes, or cutlery. OK I have an OK set of knives.
But time is now, when I must leave. I am tired and I really need to go to my doctors tomorrow. I need medical forms filled out.
So bye bye
GOD bless and good night
