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
