Hello again
It has been a few days since my last post. I had to get up really early yesterday to see a lawyer and was extremely tired last night. I didn't even eat, I went to bed and watched something. When I say something, I mean I started to watch an old episode of Bones and fell asleep, pretty much right away. The program kept repeating its self.
Now for the title, Cash is king. I was writing about a place that I went to look at. I was given an application and I filled it out.
Anyways, I didn't get it. I called and he told me that someone came and gave him a damage deposit. Basically, if I had the cash I would of had the place.
And it turns out that this lady, who's husband is in the same place as mom. Who I speak with daily. This place that I looked at is her hair dressers place and she knew about the place a while ago.
I am a little upset that she never informed me of it. She knows I have been looking for a place. But I am glad that I didn't get it. I don't want someone to know that much about me. They know each other and they would talk. Enough said
The clamp that holds mom's head rest on, is broken. So I mentioned to the staff to have it fixed. As it is not good for mom to not have a head rest. She flexes her neck, when I feed her, when I give her something to drink etc....This is dangerous, as this can cause mom to choke, which it already has a couple of times. I try to get mom to not tilt her head back like that when drinking, but it is hard for her. So I put my hand behind her neck to stop this. And have placed my pullover behind her neck, this evening. It helped.
Anyways, the staff mentioned to me last night that I have to purchase the part and they will install it, for a fee, of course.
I went to check out how much the part is, and for a clamp, it is $69.95 plus tax. And for the company, who mom got the chair from, to install it. It would be an automatic $55.00 charge for just showing up and then another $60.00 to fix it. There are only two screws that hold it on. Figure it out. It just takes an allan key to install it. Two screws, $200.00 dollars.
I have the allan keys, and I will just get the part and install it myself. I will have it done in a few days. Where as if the company where to install it, they would have to invoice the PGT first and wait to get the go a head from the PGT then set a time to go fix the chair. This would take over a week to get this done.
Well mom ate very well this evening. I was able to bring her dinner. She had stuffed sole, with crab meat, shrimp and cream cheese (imitation crab),with caramelized onion relish, 8 bean salad and avocado. Fresh squeezed lemon on the fish. This is how I like mom to eat. I don't eat like this. I am having hot dogs tonight and soup. Good enough for me
And mom was really full. It is weird, as soon as mom holds my hand, she almost falls asleep. Her eyes close and she is relaxed. It really doesn't matter, it makes me really happy. I put her to bed and it was her spa treatment time.
There is this one towel, which I place across her chest, when I brush her teeth and wash her face. Anyways, As soon as it is placed on her chest, it puts her to sleep. And she likes it when I leave it on, even after I leave at night. So I have started to do this. It is like a security blanket for her. I have no idea why, but who am I to say any different.
I am tired again, OK still, need to go now.
Please continue to pray that I find a place.
GOD bless and good night.
