Hello again
A stroke took mom's speech away, Alzheimer's is taking her memory away and lung cancer is taking her breath away
So the other day, this staff member, who has not worked with mom before. Took mom to get changed as we were cleaning up after dinner.
Well this did not work out well. Mom got really upset and was complaining. When the staff member was finished, she was telling me that mom does not like to be touched and put up a fight for the women. And mom was really upset at me when I went into the room to give her the nightly spa treatment.
Then I realized that have been the only one to get mom ready for bed, and put her into bed, since mom got their. Actually, I have been the only one to put mom to bed for, well, a long time.
It took me over an hour to calm mom down. And I promised her that no one will get her ready for bed but me, from now on. Only me.
I understand and it is OK and this is the way it should be.
Now I need to go to bed now. But first I need to have my dinner. Toast and tea. As this is all I have. I don't even know if I will have anything tomorrow
Wow is me, mom is worse off than me. Suffering through all she has to deal with.
I will never let her know how bad it is for me. I will continue to be there for her, no matter what. I will always be there for her.
Even if drop down, I will pick myself up and keep going. Mom needs me to be there and that is what I will do.
I wish I could live closer to her. But I don't have the money or anything else. Furniture or anything else
So good night
GOD bless
