Hello again
Well mom has been having dental issues. And because my phone was cut off, I have had a hard time contacting the dentist, for mom. I asked the staff to contact them, I left a message under their door. I called when I had the use of a phone. So it took 3 weeks to get mom an appointment. So she suffered this whole time. I was able to get mom some pain killers. T 3's But mom is and has been having a hard time eating. It hurts to eat. I have been trying to bring her soft foods and make sure her drinks are on the warm side You know, hot and cold bother someone who has a tooth ache.
I am freaking out daily, from not having a phone. I am worried that something will happen and no one will be able to contact me. I need a phone. But scrooge is stopping me, again. Always at Christmas time. A phone is the most important thing to me. For the hospital to be able to contact me, and I them.
And the whole time I have been saying that something has to happen before the tooth gets infected. And of course, the tooth is infected. So now she has to take antibiotics for the next week and then have the tooth removed. But next Tuesday, the day of her appointment, is a potluck dinner the home is having. So mom is going to have her tooth removed the day of the potluck. Great don't you think. Not!
Now it is that time of year when it is decoration time. So I have been hauling out mom's Christmas decorations. By bus. I brought out her tree, last Saturday. It was very cumbersome, but I did get it out there slowly. And we decorated the tree, that same day. Mom helped and it was great.
But I did not have many decorations, because the landlady took them or threw them out. I did mange to get help to get some more decorations.
The tree does look great, though.
Now mom's stereo is working out great. I do need an SD card to load up with her favorite music, I mean artist. Diana Krall. Mom just loves her music and it is the music she listens to when she goes to sleep, It relaxes her greatly. But I don't have the money for this. I am trying to get it. But Scrooge is stopping me from making mom's Christmas great.
So Sunday night I was meeting with some people and after we were finished, I ran into this women who use to look after mom, as a caregiver. Well she asked if I have moved to White Rock yet. I told her that I haven't and everything was just out of reach of my budget.
So she proceeded to tell me about all the low income apartments around the White Rock area. And gave me her phone number to help me find a place and the best way to go about getting a subsidy.
BUT MY PHONE IS NOT WORKING. Great, when I finally have a list of places to call and get help with a subsidized apartment. I have a very large list of places I need to call and make appointment to go and speak with them.
And I have asked for help with this, for the two reason I listed above. For the hospital to contact me and to get in touch with all of these agencies.
So anyways, I need to go to bed. I am hungry and my cupboards are bare.
GOD bless and good night.
