Hello again
I have not written in the last few days as I have been writing a letter of complaint to the Patient Care Quality Office of the Fraser Health department.
This women Sherri has pushed me over the top and I will now take action. I am done dealing with these individuals.
Lack of respect, doesn't listen to anything anyone, I mean me, says. When I make a decision, she will go behind my back and call my sisters, for their decision.
Lack of respect for the law. The law states that the person who makes the health care decisions is the one who is their. And that is myself.
This women had all day today, to call me, but chose to do so when I was traveling and most likely not be able to hear the phone. I called her back and she was making up stores on what happened. She got the date wrong, and she was telling me mom was hurt. I quickly corrected her and told her mom was not injured, that she fell on me and I am the one who was injured. And by the way, my foot is killing me. The cut just stopped bleeding today. I was going to go and get stitches if it didn't stop bleeding today. My leg hurts like crazy.
Maybe I should contact a lawyer and sue. I know Fraser Health will settle quickly.
I simply asked her is she was their. No response. She barked orders at me. Not even willing to discuss anything. I told her that mom is not going to be sitting in her chair for an hour while someone decides to put her into the bed.
I don't even care if they change her, right away, but she is to be put into bed immediately after dinner. As I do with her.
Mom wants her spa treatment and I need to be on a bus at a certain time to get home before midnight.
And of course this bitch doesn't care.
She makes threats. As in: If you want to continue to be part of your mom's health care! Or if you don't like the way I do things, Move your mom. Knowing full well that seniors at this point are very fragile and it is difficult for them to be moved.
Than she thinks that I will back off. And allow myself to be manipulated into not doing anything. Under the fear that she will try to ban me from seeing my mother.
I will not be threatened by anyone. All anyone has to do is ask Riverview or the PGT. I will not back down once I am threatened, as I have now been.
So I have been writing out my complaint. I have already contacted this agency this morning. And someone will be contacting me tomorrow.
Other than that, mom is doing well. She ate allot for dinner this evening. I did get her into bed right after dinner. OK one of the care aids put her into bed right away. And than came back latter to change her.
I have been putting mom to bed for two years now. And never an incident. Until this impatient and rude care aid was on and distracted me. On top of this I have been caring for my parents and grandfather for over 12 years.
I love the fact that mom is so happy to see me when I arrive and all she wants to do is hold my hand.
I love my mother and yes, I have a very good education. But I have made a decision that looking after my mother is more important than money or anything.
I need to go now. I wasn't even going to write this evening, but I thought I should, considering I haven't written for a few days.
Sorry everyone
GOD bless and goodnight
