Oh, not good

Hello again

Yes I did say not good. Mom has been suffering from a broken tooth, and has  been in pain. Great pain. It is a shame I don't live out there to be able to get her to the dentist. Not the one that is in the hospital, but another one.

I noticed over a week ago that mom had dental problems and immediately called the dental office and left a message. They never returned my call and did not go to check the problem out. I told the staff and nothing was done either. I asked to give mom something for the pain. They did that night, but not the next day.

Mom has not been eating well, she has not even wanted to eat her daily papaya. I brought a room temperature coke and water. It is not so bad on her teeth. I also have cold drinks for her. I have been trying to bring foods that are easy for her to eat. Sushi, pasta. Room temperature avocado, fruit.

She is in pain and grumpy. I haven't been punched so many times from her. I don't blame her. I know exactly what dental pain is like.

Tonight I finally got the nurse to give her something for the pain, and to call and leave a message for the social worker to contact the dental office. As I have called them over and over again.

They have to remove the tooth. Well what is left of it. Part of the tooth has already broken off. I am worried about it getting infected.

They still have done nothing about the roommate situation. All I want them to do is to make sure the TV is turned down, put her headphones on. Turn the lights off.

This women doesn't get out of bed. No wander she is up all night long. She sleeps all the time.

Now it is coming up to Christmas time and I am able to bring mom's larger tree. 5 foot tree. But the problem is that my landlord threw all of my Christmas decorations away. I have been collecting them for at least 10 years now. And have set up a tree for mom every year. Different themes all the time. Now I have a tree, and one strand of blue lights. Not enough to do anything.

I can't let a Christmas go by without setting up a beautiful tree, and decorations throughout her room.

I need your help and need it now. Mom needs your help.

I have to move and I am having a hard time finding a place.  Every place I find is just out of my price range. For a room. Yes a room only. Just out of my price range. I have seen many decent places, But even if I spend everything I get, it is still not enough. I am short

I have found a place where I can get all the furniture I need and picked out enough for a one bedroom apartment. I even put an add on Craigslist stating my needs and that I could use help until I get my disability within 6 months But they will only hold it until December 10.

Now mom needs me to be out there. So I can get the things done for her that are needed. Dental appointments, speak to her doctor and get her medication changed. And many other serious issues that need to be taken care of during the day. And with a phone.

And my phone is not working right now. I don't have money to eat, let alone pay for a phone. And I would rather have the phone working than eat. I need it in case something happens and they need to contact me.

I am completely wiped out. Need to sleep.

GOD Bless and good night
