Hello again
Lately mom has been eating sparsely, Being over tired and not hungry. Just wanting to go to bed. I do understand her wanting to go to bed. She gets a nightly spa treatment and a foot rub. Which she looks forward too.
But, her not eating a full dinner is starting to trouble me. Even if I bring something, home cooked, purchased etc.. She is only eating fruit ( which is good unto it's self) but she needs to eat more. I am worried.
I need to get her proper sleep. So she can have the proper rest she needs, to maintain her health. Mom needs to sleep in a dark room, with no TV on. Just as I do, and am sure most people.
But again, the staff do nothing about it. I can't allow this to continue. It is causing mom harm.
Yes a complaint that I make over and over again. And I bring it up over and over again, with the staff.
My foot massage, as well as massaging underneath her knee's. With this I am able to bend her knee's more and more. I am trying to get mom to completely bend her knee's again. So she can push herself around. Instead of being stuck in one spot. As per where the staff put her. If it was not for the staff, mom would still be able to move herself around. As she did before she came to this place. She also used the washroom, I got her up walking.
As you can see, this place does nothing for any of the residents. Except to maintain them.
Mom cannot speak, due to a stroke. I am her voice. My mother's daughters are standing in my way of making sure mom gets the proper treatment.
I need to be living in White Rock to be able to get to the home and get mom up and walking. Get her exercising her legs and her left arm and hand. To be take her out for walks around the area, down to the beach, to the mall etc...... Get her out and about.
The last few days mom has been talking up a storm. I wish my mind was not so cluttered with all the crap I am dealing with. Needing hearing aids, no funds, no coverage. Needing to move to White Rock. These things are causing my mind to become clouded. I need to have a clear mind to understand mom. As her stroke has caused her words to not be clear. She mumbles. I can understand her most of the time. Through her facial expressions, body language etc....But lately, the last few days. I have been worried. This is causing me grief.
I need to have a clear mind to converse with her. I want to be able to understand her. I think I need to leave more at the door when I arrive their.
I will try.
Have to go
GOD bless and good night
