Mom is happy today

Hello again

Today before I went to see mom, I went to the police station. We talked and I found things out, on what I can do. But I will not post this information for now. I am not sure who, their reads this. And I know my sisters do or someone from their family.

I had to walk down the hill to this place and it was OK, But walking back was a slow process. I waited 10 minutes for the bus, and nothing. So I decided to walk. By the time I arrived at the top of the hill. My leg was starting to get very sore.

I grabbed something for mom for dinner, a little something. Then a treat from the bakery. I thought she would enjoy this.

I walked over to see her. Stopped by the cafeteria at the hospital to get some cold water. It was just warm and not very tasty.

It has been usually hot, breaking all sorts of records for the month of May. And walking up the hill was, well making me sweat. And the hot tea was not working.

When I got to mom's, it was to late to speak with the social worker concerning this situation. So I will call tomorrow. I will have to use Google phone, as I no longer have a phone. Remember the women asked for it back. So I still have the Google phone.

Anyways mom was really happy to see me today. We ate dinner by the balcony, she ate her sushi, and allot of her smoothie.Plus, plus, plus. Even though she did not eat her regular dinner. What she had, most of the people their do not eat.

So it is OK and I am glad I brought her something.

This women came over to speak with me, with me not mom. And mom was getting upset about this. As while I am there she does not like to be disturbed. Mary wants me to concentrate all of my attention on her.

Well I don't blame her. Mom has no one there at all during the day and sits by herself. I love that she does this. And I love the fact that she wants to hold my hand from the moment I arrive until she is falling asleep. I have no problem with this. I just have to let her know I need both hands once in awhile. She understands. It is a comfort thing and she feels very secure and safe when she holds my hand.

Mary is speaking better today and she is using her left arm more. I massage her left hand in the evening now and this pressure point helps with her arm and hand.

It is such a great feeling to see mom so relaxed by the time I leave at night. Mom has a smile on her face as she falls off to sleep every night, listening to music as she falls off to sleep. Diana Krall is what her bed time music is.

Anyways I need to go. I have to go downtown tomorrow as well as phone this women at mom's home. And going downtown takes longer to get to White Rock. It is going to be as hot tomorrow. Just finished sewing the pockets in my shorts. This is what I have and this is what I needed to do to wear shorts.

GOD bless and good night
