Hello again
It is disgusting how my mother's daughters treat their mother. They continue to steal from her as they have all their lives. They would have nothing, save for my parents.
I was going through mom's closet tonight and I noticed that they took all the new clothing and left the crap that they bought from cheap stores. I estimate they stole over $600.00 worth of mom's clothing and then their is the Bio therem products worth at least $120.00. Plus my comforters. Yes they are older, but to replace them would be, at the cheapest, $75.00
This is considered theft over. And can get someone a year in jail. Again I only write the truth. And have records to back everything up.
But it is also the fault of the staff at Al Hogg.
I was able to get a few dollars on Friday and I purchased the items for the salad mom loves. I brought a huge container of the salad and mom ate it all. Plus some lemon chicken I made for her.
It is amazing that mom's daughters did not even show up before Christmas. And I had to walk in, on Christmas day, to mom crying. As nobody from her family bothered to show up. And then when they do finally show up, they bring her crap skin products that don't even work. And then steal just about all of her clothing. And my items as well. Plus mom's Bio therm cosmetics.
Aren't they just the best daughters imaginable. Make my mother cry, not show up for Christmas and then in front of her, steal her cloths.
Tonight mom ate and ate, plus her Papaya and her 3 pack of Lindt chocolate truffles. Off to bed we went. I got her into her night gown, changed her. Now she was very tired, and ready for sleep. She didn't even want to be fussed with. It was hard to even brush her teeth. But we got the spa treatment done.
I needed to pack up the Christmas decorations up. As I was worried all the way their, that the Christmas tree and the decorations would be gone. They were there, though. So I hauled the decorations home tonight. And I will bring the tree back tomorrow. Done until next year.
I have been doing allot of research on Alzheimer's/Dementia and I am finding that mom is in stage 2, not the latter stage they keep saying that she is in. The stroke is misleading them. They don't rehab her or give her any exercises at all. And when I do, the Occupational worker, keeps telling me that if I want to continue to be an active part of mom's health care. I am to do what they say. This last part I added for effect.
This is a threat, and this is what they always say.
I will be contacting Fraser Health on Monday. As I gave the manager 2 days to return my call and to do something about it. But nothing is being done. So I am left with no choice but to take action.
I expect to be compensated for all that was taken.
Well I am done with this topic and will let you know what happens.
11:18 pm and if I am lucky, I could get some sleep tonight.
GOD bless and good night

And more
Hello again
So the manager did not return my call today. They obviously have no regard for what I say. The law states the the person who is there all the time, is the person who is in charge of mom's health care decisions. The person who is the closest to mom. Which is me. Not my mother's daughters.
Now one of my mother's daughters son in laws, stated in a response to one of my blogs. That they never take anything, they don't do this.
Well they did it. And knew they weren't to take anything. Both the staff and my mother's daughters. So everything I write about them is the truth. They lie to protect their reputation. To make themselves look good.
This just shows what they really are.
I will be going to the RCMP if their is not a response by today. I will go to the MLA and the newspapers and who every else will listen. And I am not only going to complain about this. But the fact that my mother has to sit in her soiled diapers for hours at a time. That if I complain in anyway, the home makes threats against me.Telling me that if I want to continue to be an active part of my mothers care I have to do what they say.
This is all abuse. They have done nothing about the nurse who made threats against me. Or about the light in the room, and the TV volume.
I am finished, they crossed the line now. They do nothing about anything. Yet they just go behind my back and give away all of mom's belongings and my things as well. Plus the Bio therm products.
I think the newspapers might want to know what this place is up to and how they treat the people who pay for proper care and live their.
I am a very nice and calm person. I treat everyone with respect. I do for others. But I am only like this until someone crosses the line. Then I am ruthless and will not back down. I have been threatened to be sued by the government and the PGT but I never back down and I even was out picketing them. I write this to show exactly what these places are up to.
I write this for all to see, what it is like to have Alzheimer's, a stroke and lung cancer. I write this to show what kind of abuse goes on in the homes. How patients are actually treated.
They expect me to do nothing. Because they like to threaten people. More abuse. If I miss one day, mom will think that I don't love her anymore.
I have not missed a day in over 3 years. Mom expects me to be their and looks forward to this everyday. If I am not their, this is abuse.
Again, I am done being nice to this place. I will not be angry while I am their. I will not show any contempt in front of mom.
It is 12:16 am and I am done writing and ready for bed. I do, however, want to watch a bit of TV.
GOD bless and good night

At it again
Hello again
So those people are doing it again. Those people being my sister's. They are continuing to take things of my mother's. Stealing is the word that best describes there actions. Thieves. Knowing full well that they have in the past taken things that belong to my mother. And knowing that I write about it on here and complain about it.
But today the line was crossed. I arrived to find out that with the help of a staff member, my sisters took many, many articles of my mother's clothing. as well as other items.
The home has been informed many, many times, not to give or allow my sisters to take anything. As I purchase the items myself. They don't pay for anything. And I am their everyday, and the staff know it. They made no attempt at speaking to me about the clothing that is to big or small for mom.Or to communicate with me, that mom has to many clothes and we would like you to take some home. The staff member just ignored everything and went behind my back and allowed my sister's to take these things.
First off, I purchase clothing a size larger than mom takes. To make it easier to get on and off of mom.
On top of this, I had some of mom's Biotherme products in a drawer, under allot of clothing. So no one would find it or take it. Then they emptied all the drawers out and found it and took it. Great don't you think.
These items were purchased by me, for mom and mom only. I purchased them when they had this offer that you purchase products for X amount of dollars, you can purchase these travel bags for $25.00. They had this on for awhile and it happened I needed to purchase most of mom's products. I had 4 travel packs. They were half sized containers of the items mom uses everyday. Plus a few extra items.
Now there gone. My sisters have them. I hid them for a reason. They were there in case I ran out of something, one night and needed to finish mom's spa treatment. Now $75.00 worth of products are gone. And on top of this, I had a full bottle of the body wash I use every night. It is gone now. That alone is worth $30.00 and it is gone now, as well.
That is over $100.00 worth of Bio therme products we, mom and I, will ever see again. The same with all the clothing. The clothing alone, that is gone, is worth over $400.00
On top of this, they know I only put mom's clothing on plastic hangers. I had extras, as clothing keeps on going missing, and the extras are from that. But the staff member gave my sister's these as well. So now some of mom's cloths are on metal hangers.
Then I had given mom a few of my comforter's until I could purchase her a few of them. And they are gone as well. Two of my comforter's. I wanted there to be two comforters there. So when on is in the laundry, There is one to use. And I was going to bring the other home for me to use. I need it, as this place is cold, and I don't have enough blankets to keep me warm enough.
So I left a message for the manager,stating that I expect to be compensated for my loss. I will take no for an answer. It is they, who, due to their neglect, did this without my permission or even speaking with me.
Now mom was even upset, as she saw them do this to her stuff. Mom ate allot of her meal and afterwards I washed her hair. I was going to do this before dinner, but I walked into mom's room to find most of mom's belongings gone. On top of that they took everything out of the closet and put it all back all screwed up. The clothing out of order, the hangers the wrong way. It takes allot of effort to keep it this way.
I washed her hair, brought her into the bedroom, only to have the staff interrupt us to change mom. This was only the second time mom was put into bed by someone else. She didn't like it. The girl was ruff on mom, forcing the shirt off of her. I didn't like it at all.
I am very pissed off right now. This stressed me out Those f ***ing assholes. Those thieves. The other people and the staff member.
How dare they do this. Excuse for swearing.
I don't know if I will sleep well tonight. But I have to go now.
GOD bless and good night

New years day
Hello again
So today I arrived in White Rock around 4:00pm and because it is a long bus ride there. I usually walked right into the mall and use the washroom. Well I walked up to the door and tried to open it. I almost walked into it. To my surprise the mall was closed.
No where else is any of the malls closed. I looked around and noticed that White Rock was like a ghost town. It seemed that nothing was open. It was surreal. I haven't seen this in many, many years. OK it is mostly a retirement community. But come on. It is OK I guess, it had to be. The grocery store was open, but only until 6:00 pm. That is typical, for grocery stores to close at this time, but the mall was not open at all today. I guess I am use to Coquitlam.
When I move, I will adjust to this. It will be calming.
I arrived at mom's very close to dinner time. Very cold outside -6. Remember I live on the coast and White Rock is a beach community. So it is a damp cold. Going right to the bones.
I was to wash mom's hair today, but getting their so late and it being Tuesday. Tuesday being the day, mom's roommate gets her bath. So I could not do this today. Mom was very hungry and thirsty. I had some prawns in the freezer and left over sweet and sour pork. She ate this plus the salmon and the rest of her dinner from Al Hogg. I did give her a Papaya.
I got her into bed and the nightly spa treatment.
The nurse on tonight, Joana, the one who threatened me, is just impossible to deal with. I can't talk to her about mom's health without her going nuts. She unplugs mom's stereo. And it is a smart stereo. So all the settings have to be reset. She doesn't give mom her nightly medicine until after I leave. After mom is asleep. Yes she walks her up to give her the medicine. And she doesn't wipe the leftover medicine off of mom's face. And then at bedtime, the nurse put on the roommates oxygen machine. The other nurses always put it on earlier. Not her, she does this when mom wants to sleep. And this place has not done anything about the lights being on all night and her roommates TV being on late and very loud.
She is just ignorant, rude and self centered. I don't dislike many people, but her I want fired. I want her removed from mom's care. She is not to be trusted. She is rude to all the patients.
Anyways I finished mom's care and sang her the goodnight song. Put on my many layers of clothing and off I went.
I got home late and am very tired. I had to do some laundry, which is almost done. But it is 1:00 am and I wanted to be in bed, as soon as I got home. Didn't happen though.
I really need to get some proper sleep.
So good night and GOD bless all

New years eve 2012
Hello again
So it is new years eve, OK it is 2013 now, being 12:24 am
Tonight, I arrived early and had something for dinner for mom. It was new years eve after all. So I brought in all of my roommates empties. I had enough to get mom some Chinese food for dinner. Plus a red papaya, this she loves, better than the yellow papaya. It is sweeter.
I did phone this morning, using a WiFi phone. OK it is an app, Magic Jack app for Android. Which you can make WiFi calls for free. The only phone I have. Anyways, to see how mom felt. She was up early today. Which means mom was going to be tired when I get their. Which she was.
They keep putting her pillows under her feet. Then I have to change the pillow cases. And mom only has two pillow cases left. Out of 6. It is really starting to piss me off. They have lost over $1000.00 worth of mom's clothing since mom has been there. 7 months.
What they keep saying, to pass the buck and not do anything about it, is. Laundry goes missing all the time. Yet they hired the laundry company and never contact them about this problem. This is just mom, what about the rest of the residents at all of the homes Fraser Health operates. How many items of clothing in total, at what cost, have this contracted laundry company. Well stole. How many of the employee's go " I like this, so I think I will just take it"
These are grounds for a class action lawsuit against Fraser Health and all whom are associated with, and do nothing about it. Except giving lame excuses to all who tell them that clothing is missing.
I will be going to the RCMP and filling a complaint, as well as the newspapers, the MLA and I will seek the advice of a lawyer. I AM DONE!
Well, I digress, mom was very excited to see that I had Chinese food for her and I bought her, the Red Papaya she loves. Of course I do this for her. Only the best for mom. And I need to make sure mom gets good food and fresh fruit. She has been thirsty lately. She has been drinking allot. Which is very good.
There is a cold going around the place and I have been rubbing Vicks on her upper chest area. Right below her neck, so she can feel the warmth and inhale the smell to keep her nose clean.
Mom took care of me and it is my turn to take care of her. This is the only way it has to be. I know mom and dad sacrificed for me, and I will do the same. No matter what. Even if it means going without. I am OK with this.
I am doing what is right. Even if I wasn't disabled, I would of taken time off, or have been fired, to deal with the meetings, dealing with the PGT and everything else I need to do to keep mom healthy and happy. It is good for me as well as mom. What I have learned, over the time I have spent looking after dad and mom. Patience, love of another, caring for. Taking care of someone, without regrets. I did this for dad and I do feel somewhat guilty, I didn't do more for him. So I am going to do all I can for mom.
There is plenty of time latter on. But I have always said, that when mom goes, GOD forbid it is not anytime soon, that I will be right behind her. I will have nothing to live for then. I will be done.
I may be intelligent, but there is nothing else I have going on. I have no friends, no girlfriend, OK the no girlfriend is my choice. I get asked out a fair bit. It is an interesting thing phenomena. At least once a month. I do nothing. I don't even put myself out there. It does make me feel good, though.
But I need to move to White Rock, getting my own place, to have mom over for visits. Freeing up 6 hours a day to do other things for her. And to do more research on this disease. To start the Internet company that will deal with Seniors Abuse. Which I already started once, and had the web site up and running. Just couldn't afford to keep the Web site running. Pay for the hosting and the e-commerce, as well as the other features that are needed to to keep a site up and running.
So back to mom. Excuse me for interrupting.
Mom ate as much as she could tonight. But finished the Red Papaya and a box of her Lindt chocolates. (3's). I got her into bed and the nightly spa treatment. It relaxes her very much. One of the attendants came in early and wanted to put mom into bed. I said it is not a good idea that you do that. I am the only one who has every put her into bed. Except one care aid, who tried to put her into bed, but with allot of trouble. Mom did not like it very much. So since then no one else has put mom to bed. Except me. I will keep it this way.
I put the music on she likes and sang our goodnight song to her. Put her clothing away. I have OCD. I have to have the hangers all one way, and all the clothing in order. By colour and by item. Alphabetical. I have had this problem since I was a suite, years ago and have it still. Not as bad as I did have it. Mom thinks it is very funny. I love it when she laughs at me, because of this.
So it is 1:17 now and I have to go to bed. I will continue tomorrow
GOD bless and good night

Alphabetical. I have had this problem since I was a suite, years ago and have it still. Not as bad as I did have it. Mom thinks it is very funny. I love it when she laughs at me, because of this.
So it is 1:17 now and I have to go to bed. I will continue tomorrow
GOD bless and good night

A nice day
Hello again
So today the 3 hour bus ride went well. To the point where I missed my stop in White Rock. Just by one stop. I was reading scientific research articles on Alzheimer's/Dementia, as well as my geek magazines.
Google Currents. Load whatever Magazines onto it and read away. It is great, updates automatically through WiFi
Anyways I arrived at the home and walked in. Now this was the best part of my day, even knowing I wouldn't be having dinner. I saw mom, but she saw me first and when I looked at her, she had this huge smile on her face and was reaching for me. Makes everything worth while.
I brought her spaghetti and meat sauce. Which I told her I would do. We went and got her plate out of her room. And while there I turned down the bed and moved it so I can get mom up on the lift and into bed. Went and warmed up the meal. She couldn't wait.
There was a big container full and I covered it with cheese. Mom finished it. Plus the chicken from her dinner and dessert. I couldn't afford a papaya today, Maybe tomorrow I will. I have to walk over to the return it centre and bring in the empties that my roommate left. Then I will have enough to get mom the papaya and maybe an avocado as well.
It is hard sometimes when mom is hungry and wanting everything. She reaches for everything, while I am trying to feed her. Mom's hand gets covered with everything as well. The only thing I can do is gently take her hand in mine and wipe off the sauce. Many times.
Mom was hungry and tired. She normally doesn't eat much on the weekend, but today was different. I guess she knew I was bringing spaghetti for dinner and ate, even though she was very tired.
I got her into bed, and gave her the nightly spa treatment. Even though I got a few punches in the head. She was tired and didn't want to be fussed with. It is all good.
I will never forget the look on her face when I walked in a saw her.
It was very cold out today, and again, no matter how many layers I have on, I am cold. My hands where freezing. Even though I had two pairs of gloves on. They are dollar store gloves. I don't even have any long sleeve shirts. Besides dress shirts. So I pile on Cotton sweaters. And I do have this down vest, but it is leaking feathers. I have no idea where from. But no sleeves. This is where I am getting my chill from.
I am tired of feeling guilty for what I do to help mom out. Looking after her. I am proud of the fact I do this. No matter what anyone says or thinks about it.
I am going to expect to receive help from other's/ all, as I do deserve it. The other members of this family don't give a damn and don't do anything for mom. But I continue to do so, and I will not stop. I do this as it is the right thing to do. Take care of your family. And mom is the only family I have.
I am following what is right and doing everything I can. Well not everything, I can do more. I just need to get out to where she is and save the 6 hours a day traveling.
Time to go to bed. Very tired and considering my roommate didn't let me use his van to bring in the empties, today. I will walk them over. It is alittle much to carry, but I will manage.
GOD bless and good night
