Hello again
It has been over a week since my last post, and things are and have been hell. Or my little version of it, anyways.
Mom's illness. Well mom has gotten better, the cold is going away. But it took its toll on her. Not eating much, Restless sleep. So I have been getting her to eat as much as possible. Getting her into bed earlier. Lots of liquid and fruit. And some decent meals.
I have a new stereo for her, and loaded up a USB drive with her music she loves, from my phone. I started to play this when I leave at night. So she can completely relax. It has been working. She is almost completely better. This is great.
But it is the weekend, and mom just seems to not eat much over the weekends and has been this way for a very long time.
I need to speak with the doctor about this. But he just doesn't return my calls. I need to be out there to go during the daytime to speak with him, the doctor.
I continue with mom's spa treatment. I wash her hair, every other day. I just did her nails, manicure and pedicure. Mom has a fungus on her toe nails. So I have been applying Tea Tree Oil on them, nightly, it is a very good cure for this and cuts and scraps as well. And several other ailments
Today, mom really did not want to eat. I kept trying to get her to eat more. But she was getting very upset and kept motioning for me to give her, the nightly spa treatment. I finally just gave her the papaya and her chocolate and off to bed. I had to watch carefully, as she was trying to swing at me. This is typical of when she gets angry. She gets impatient and it is OK. I do understand completely. Mom is in her wheelchair all day. And that alone would get very frustrating, in it's self.
I really need to get a better chair cushion for her. Something much more comfortable. I really don't blame mom for wanting to get out of the chair when I arrive.
I need to be there for mom, more often. I want to do even more for her, and with her. People don't believe what I do for my mother. It is because nobody would do what I do for her. Nobody would say, this is what I do, I look after my mother and is all I want to do. Nobody would give up everything to do this. But I do and will continue to do this for mom, and even more.
It is extremely important for me to do absolutely everything and anything for mom. To move to White Rock and just spend as much time with her, as I can.
I will free up 6 or more hours in a day, by moving out there. I can use that time to speak with the doctors and the staff about mom's care. I can have her over for lunch's. And maybe over night. Provided I find the appropriate place to live.
I pray nightly, daily, all day, for GOD to help me find a place. I pray that HE help me loosen these chains that are binding me. Being in this place and having to put up with this landlord who steals my belongings, rents the rooms to criminal element. The new guy that moved in likes to take my food. Without even asking or replacing it.
I don't mind if someone takes my things. If they ask or tell me they took it. And replace it. But not this guy, he just takes it;. The food is not mine. It is for mom. Eggs, which I can't even eat. I had them to bake a pie for mom. Salsa, I bought a loaf of bread, had two slices, and put it into the fridge and the next day, I had less than a half of a loaf.
I need to be released from these chains. To be free of this situation I am in. I feel I am trapped by the devil. But I know GOD will help break me free.
GOD knows my heart and how all I want to do is look after mom, full time. GOD knows I love my mother with all my heart and soul. HE knows I love HIM with all my heart and soul. That I follow HIS word, I read it daily. On the bus while traveling to see mom, before bed. Right before I pray and give thanks.
Mom is everything to me. Everything else can wait. I am completely dedicated to being there for my mother. I know nothing else. My life is my mothers life. This is the way it should be and I have absolutely no problem saying this or doing what I do.
In fact, as mentioned, all I want to do is more, more and more. To be there to feed her lunch. To be there to take her out different places. To just sit with her and hold her hand, as I do each night, while mom falls off to sleep.
It is Christmas time and to decorate her room is a goal of mine. I want to decorate the tree in Blue and White. Blue and Clear lights, and Blue and White decorations. Now I can bring her 5 foot tree to her. I will speak to the roommates daughter's and let them know my plan. Mention to them that they can share the tree and put their mother's presents under the tree for her. As I will do for mom. And hopefully my sister's will do the same.
I will be printing out photo's I have taken of mom and leaving them for the sister's
But I need help from everyone. To make the move to White Rock. My address is on this blog and you can go to www.indiegogo.com/krismovingcampagn and read more about my plight with the landlord.
Now for more about the landlord issue
A week and a half ago, the landlord left a note for me, telling me I have 24 hrs to move my things out of my room for her to have the renovations done. She just didn't get it. I said no. So she goes to the Residential Tenancy Branch and lies to them. Telling them it was emergency repairs. Not showing them the letter I gave her.
So I come home last Saturday, to find garbage bags outside the door. Which I actually tripped over, injuring my wrist and bruising my hip. Already having problems with my hip. This just aggravated it even more. I found my room broken into, I go to the garbage bags and find all sorts of my belonging in them. . I started going through my room and I find many many things gone. Just gone. I go through the garbage bags and pull out allot of my things.
Clothing, socks, my mother's shoes. Well one shoe of my mother. Christmas decorations, Halloween decorations. Shirts, T-Shirts.
I started going through my belongings and I have a whole list of things that are gone.
I just obtained permission to put up mom's 5 foot Christmas tree. So last night I started to look for the Christmas decorations. I had a couple of Box's behind the door, and guess what they are gone. All my Christmas decorations. Well, mom's decorations. So now I need to get all of them again.
I have a list of everything that was missing. I will be giving it to the police. I will also being seeking criminal charges against her. I have nothing to begin with. And what I have is important. And especially the Christmas decorations for mom. There is a estimated total of over $500.00 worth of items of mine, missing. GONE
GOD bless and good night
