Hello again
Tonight mom was really tired. She was leaning to one side. This is a sign of her being tired. I brought her some stir fry, but mom did not even like it. It is OK. We all don't like everything. But her dinner was decent. BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes and squash. She did eat allot of her dinner. And of course a avocado.
As soon as I arrived, mom was motioning for me to give her the nightly spa treatment. She runs her hand over my face. I just said we have to eat a little bit. Eat as much as you can. But I know you will eat the papaya. And of course she did. She ate as much as she could, and the papaya. Off we went and into bed she went. What I do say is that mom was sitting in her soiled diapers for who knows how long.
And, while waiting for mom to get changed. I held her hand and she fell asleep. Only to be awoken when the staff came into change her. Afterwards mom was wide awake. Being woken up from sleep to be tossed around.
I sang our good night song, talked to her for a little bit, and just held her hand while she fell asleep again.
Mom is healthy, and somewhat happy. As happy as one can be, being stuck in a wheelchair and completely dependent on everyone for everything. This is why I do what I can for her. And I will do even more. As I can.
Now all I want to do is look after mom. Make sure is gets treated well. Gets lots of nutritious meals, fruits and is happy.
12:00 am and it is time to go and watch some TV that I downloaded tonight
GOD bless and good night
