Hello again
Today was Mary's bath day. And they put her in bed, right after they give her a bath. Yet they don't leave her stereo on, nor do they put her TV on. So mom just lies there, bored.
This I would say is abuse. And on top of this I have asked them over and over again, not to put her into bed after her bath. Mom is in bed enough as it is.
They don't get her up until, just before noon. And then I put her into bed at around 6:30 pm. And she is asleep by 7:30 pm.
But not on the days when this nurse that abuses people, is on. She usually gets her final medication of the day before I leave at night. But when this nurse is on, it is not until after I leave. At this point they have to wake here up, to give her the medication.
When I finish washing mom's face, legs and arms. Then putting lotion on these area's and giving her a lower leg and foot massage, mom is now completely relaxed and falling asleep. I hold her hand until I leave at night.
This is what she wants. Mary wants to hold my hand from the time I get their. This is a comfort and security act. Knowing I am their for her.
Before I continue, I would like to thank the PGT for supplying funds to get mom the nutritional supplement Vega One, to add to the smoothies I make her.
Anyways back to mom.
Now mom, as you are aware, has not been eating much. The staff are having a hard time feeding her. But I am getting her to eat. The Vega One helps. But I have been bringing her some other things as well. But she is also eating her dinner the home provides.
All of this is a good thing. Mom is eating.
This is why it is important for me to move out their. To go there at lunch time and feed her then as well as come back for her dinner, to feed her and get her into bed.
To date mom has only been put into bed by me. Except for once, and that didn't work out to well.
I am looking at a place tomorrow, The place I mentioned, where I can afford the rent, but not the utilities. So very close, but just out of reach.
A one bedroom, living by myself. Close to mom's home. OK I have no furniture. But that is alright. Again, I have a bedroom suite. There are places where I might be able to get the rest of what is needed.
A while ago, I placed an add on Craigslist, for anything and everything. Explaining I have nothing and need everything for a place.
Well I received a reply from this one individual, who tells me there is a place where I can go and pick out what I need and they will deliver it.
So I will be digging through my email to find this person and writing her to get the information.
One thing, this home, that I am looking at tomorrow, is a Christian home. They are the one's whom contacted me. I put an add on Craigslist, again. Looking for a place in White Rock and explaining my circumstances and what I need and can afford. So the daughter in law wrote me telling me about the place. I wrote back and the owner, which is the mother in law contacted me. I didn't even get a chance to give them a call back, when the mother contacted me again today. She let me know that there has been interest in the place, but they past on them, that they wanted to speak with me and see me.
The mom gave me the son's number and I contacted him this evening. So tomorrow after I finish with my visit with mom, I will walk down there.
So I pray tonight, that if this is the place for me, I will ask GOD to help supply me with the additional funds I need to pay for the extra costs until I get on disability. So please pray for me, or even send help my way.
I need to cover the extra cost for at least 1 year. As it will take this long to battle to get on disability.
I need to go to bed now.
The alcoholic women kept me up last night again. OK woke me up at 5 then 7 am. As she has been doing each and every weekend, since she moved in.
I can't live like this. Not good for me.
GOD bless and good night
Kris Schmuland
