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

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
