Hello again Day 5
So I walked and so I hitched hiked, blah, blah, blah. It took me hours to get home. Blah, blah, blah.
Now for something completely different.
Tonight after finishing most of mom's spa treatment. We, mom and I, waited for over 1/2 hours for someone to come to get mom ready for bed. When a staff came in I mentioned that mom usually gets ready for bed before 7 pm, and that this was an understanding. Because I travel by bus to get out here and back. It is a long way.
She tells me that she has 12 people to do and she is just temporary. That she gets everyone done by 8 pm. I just said it was an understanding we had.
Another staff member came in to get mom ready and I kissed mom and told her I would be out their in the hallway.
So I went and made some hot water for tea. While in the kitchen, I was reading a news paper and the nurse comes in and tells me that I was rude to her staff and was demanding that mom get ready for bed before 7 pm and then started to speak to me in a condescending manner. I said to her I am going to stop you now, I never spoke to anyone in that way and I don't speak to anyone in a rude condescending manner.
I simply said that there was an understanding that mom should be ready for bed by 7 pm. That I live in Coquitlam and I travel by transit. That I still, after you get her ready for bed, have to finish the spa treatment. She started yelling at me.
I stopped her again and said you have no right to speak to me in such a manner, I don't have to except this. She walked away and was still speaking at me. Notice I said speaking at me.
I started to walk back to mom's room and she was walking towards me and I did say I knew you were like this from the start. Could be a problem. She stopped and stood in front of me and blocked my path and told me she is going to call security because of the way I was speaking to her.
I said that it is not me who is speaking in a condescending manner. I said to her that mom lives here and pays. She told me that she doesn't care if my mother lives here and pays. I just walked away back towards mom's room.
I was waiting, which I thought they were still getting mom ready for bed. And while waiting I over heard the nurse tell another nurse that maybe she should get her husband or boy friend to come and deal with this matter. She continued to rant for over 5 minutes to the other nurse about this and said that if I come at her again she will call security.
I then found out that mom was finished and had been for a while. So I just finished mom's spa treatment and left. The nurse started coming at me again.
She made threats against me, so I left and went and told the security about this. And said that if she does bring anyone to deal with this, as she said I will call the police. I am disabled and I do not take threats lightly.
Now I will be hearing from the social worker tomorrow.
I will say this again, I am an expert at reading people and I am never wrong. I read this nurse from the start. Since mom has been their, she has never once spoke to me or even given me the time of the day. I do however, speak with all the other staff. We get along well.
I am well liked by most people whom I come in contact with. I don't speak to anyone in a condescending manner, I am very polite and courteous to all. I was raised to be this way. Polite
So off I went walking and hitch hiking blah, blah and blah.
And when I got home I had to deal with the fact that the land lady was here and now the laundry is not included in the rent.
I don't drive and have no money to go to the laundry mat. Where ever this may be. So now I won't be able to have clean clothing. Or do the towels and the blanket for mom.
So even laundry is being taken away from me. OK.
I put an add on craigslist to find a shared accommodation in White Rock. I guess I need to move. Well I do. No matter what now. I can't go an entire month without doing laundry. Both of my roommates have cars and work, so they don't care if they go to the laundry mat. But I do.
I am not eating and I am very tired lately.
So I am going to just walk. I don't know what to do now.
I need to go to bed. Go inside, as I am cold. And I will have to deal with the social worker tomorrow about tonight.
GOD bless and good night.
