Hello again
Well it finally rained here in Vancouver. We had a great summer. It is called Raincouver. This will last for a little while then we have what we call an Indian summer. Nice until the middle of October.
I still have not run into the two individuals who witnessed the drunk falling on me. And I am taking the same bus daily. I am experiencing shooting pains in my left ankle, my leg is not stable anymore. My hearing seems to be getting worse. In and out on a regular basis'
Now at the home where mom is, one thing after another is falling apart. Now the air conditioning is not working. The elevators work sporadically, one side of the building is covered in plastic. Which the residents are inhaling carcinogens from the plastic. One of the two bathrooms ( where they give the residents their baths) is under construction. OK it is not under construction, it is closed off. And they are not doing anything about this, as they expect the residents families to pay for this.
And yet they continue to serve crappy food. Hmm.
I got a little money and bought mom some Sushi and Tempura tonight. She loved this and ate all of it.
Mom is doing well and is extremely healthy
Look, mom may not communicate verbally very well, but I read and understand mom very well. Others have asked me if mom knows what they are saying. I simply tell them, mom and I speak all the time and she understands everything that is going on. That they mis diagnosed her, it was a stroke that took her voice away, not dementia. And it was the stroke that has robbed mom of her ability to walk, as well as the lack of rehab from the staff.
I have been asked recently how long I have been taking care of mom. And my response was 8 years now, and it has been the best 8 years I have spent. I love looking after my mother and look forward to many more years. Mom has longevity in her family and I am very happy about this.
But it is so very important for me to be living in White Rock. For mom's sake. This way I can free up 7 hours a day of traveling, to do more things for mom and to do things that will improve mom's life.
It is late again. Almost 1 AM and it is time to go to bed.
I have been very tired and in pain allot. All I have wanted to do is go to bed when I get home, instead of 3 am.
So I need to say good night
GOD bless and good night
