Hello again
It has been about a week since my last post. Sorry.
Mom has caught this nasty cold that has been going around. And I have it as well. So I have been looking after mom even more than usual. And I am blessed that it can be this way. Mom is not eating much, because of her sore throat, she can't swallow properly. So I have been bringing her fresh fruit smoothies. Thank GOD I have the fruit in the freezer. All mom wants to do is go to bed and sleep. But this is difficult. As her roommate has her TV blaring and the lights on.
It is not her fault, it is the fault of the Al Hogg pavilion and the staff.
I told the nurses that mom was sick over and over again. But do you think they would listen. Yea right. Then I find out that they gave mom the flu shot, while she was sick. Oh did I complain. After me telling them over and over that mom was sick.
And mom needs rest. I ask the roommate to turn down the TV and nothing. So I ask the staff to do something about it, that mom needs rest. Nothing is every done about it. This is just crap. I asked for the roommate to be moved months ago and nothing. Even though others have been moved, people have passed away and new people have moved into the home. But they can't protect my mother.
I get their earlier now. And I need to do this. It is really time for me to be in White Rock.
But my biggest problem is I have no money at all. I mean zero. I only have enough money to get mom fruit for the next week. And this is not for me to use. It is for mom and mom only. I spend none of this on me.
Sure I go without. But this is OK. Everything is for mom and mom only.
If I had even a little bit of money I would already be in White Rock. I have an opportunity to get this mobile home. I still have nothing
I look and ask and still nothing.
I am having major landlord problems and need a place. It is to much to deal with. I now have to fight her in court. Through the Residential Tenancy Act. I have video, pictures and a list of infractions. It is an illegal basement suite and an illegal rooming house. So I called the city to report it. They called me back, but I missed the call. I will have to call them back on Tuesday.
I will be seeking damages. But this could take months to get through But in the mean time, I need to find a place and it will only be in White Rock. If I am moving, I am only moving to White Rock.
Now I want to be their, as while I am their with mom, it is only to feed her than get her ready for bed and the nightly spa treatment. I want to do more with her. And it is during the day time that she is more awake. And I get their at 4:30 pm daily. She goes to bed right after dinner. This is her thing. I don't blame her. She does nothing during the day. So she is bored and gets tired.
I started another campaign on Indiegogo. Let us hope this one does better than the other's which brought me in nothing. And I just wanted to get a van to be able to do things with mom.
So I need to go. I am very tired still and I expect the landlady to be over in the morning. And the police will have to be called to have her removed. She comes over without any notice and just walks right in.
The only reason I am here is I can't afford much, or actually anything. I have looked and looked for a place in White Rock. But they are all out of my price reach.
GOD bless and good night
