Hello again
Well today they did not even serve mom her dinner. I am not talking about serving it late, but not at all. Over the last week, they have served mom's dinner late, as in we are finished and they bring her tray. Or 15 minutes latter. And now, not at all and they gave me some excuse that it is a new person, who by the way has seen me everyday this week. And for me to go up and get the meal myself. I said to the women who told me this. That is an excuse for today, what about the rest of the last 7 days.
That is what they are there for. I do there job as it is. And I do not want them to put mom to bed. I am OK with this. But for me to do all of it.
It was a very good thing that I had something for mom to eat. I don't think mom was full, but she was also tired. I washed and styled her hair before dinner. She was happy with this.
I need people to understand that it is important to keep an eye on the medication your loved one is on, plus whatever else is going on with them. You have to be on the staff, ask to see the records or they will never tell you, and even lie to you.
People with Alzheimer's/ Dementia should not be on certain medication. As it will harm them. Go to the FDA's website and you will find the medications that they warn you about. Any and all anti psychotic drugs should not be given to individuals with this disease. As it can kill.
Tylenol causes liver damage and the care homes and hospitals love to hand out Tylenol like it is candy.
Be on top of everything. Even if they think you are a pain in the ass. If that doesn't work, complain to the top of the food chain. This works the best.
I have always found that it is a waste of time complaining to the staff at these places. Go above their heads and let the trickle down theory take effect. Works the best. And if that doesn't work go higher up. As high as it takes to get your point across.
People keep saying GOD will bless me for what I am doing.
Why would he. I am just a recovering alcoholic who quit drinking and smoking pot because he lost someone important to him plus he has ailing parents who need help. And now just one parent who needs help. And I am doing everything I can for her.
I am nobody, I mean absolutely nobody. I have nothing and no one who gives a crap about me. Except for my mother. But no one else. I am alone and lonely. I am depressed to no ends. Yet I will not give up as my mother needs me. She has no one as well.
I can't even afford to find a place close to my mother and this is pissing me off. I hate where I live. I don't want to come here at night. But I have no choice.
I have no money to just go and find a place. I have no money for groceries. I am stuck in this crap. So why would GOD care about a looser like me..
I am in pain all the time and by the time I get back here I can barely walk. And, again, I will not stop going to take care of my mother
I am going now. I have to go and stick my head in a hole.
I NEED A FREAKING MIRACLE RIGHT NOW!
GOD bless and good night
