Hello again
October 24/13
Ready 6:10 PM
To bed 6:45 PM
Mom is fidgety , pointing, again, to the bed. Trying to relax, but can't. Sliding down in her chair. Just wanting to hold my hand and have her spa treatment taken care of. We would almost be done the spa treatment by 6:30 PM. This is how they treat people. No one cares about the fact that I need to leave at a certain time.And mom needs time to relax by just holding my hand until she falls asleep.
Tonight mom had a good dinner that I made for her. She ate what I brought and most of what they served her.
I did not get to the spa treatment until after 7 PM. Mom is to tired by this time for me to do a complete job. As in wash her face, arms, legs and feet. Remember, mom only gets a bath once a week. Do you only clean yourself once a week. Don't you want to be clean and feeling good. So should my mother.
Someone wrote me a comment this day and it is the only time I have written back.
What I do have to say is, if you do not like what I write, than why read it. I do appreciate all who do read what I have to say. Whether you enjoy it or not. And by the way. Yes I am! To whatever it is you wish to call me.
There is a saying I live by. What other people think of me is none of my business
Again I will state, what I write is what goes on. The daily frustrations and enjoyments of life. What it takes to care for someone. What mom feels and thinks and how it is for me.
This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. To actually make a difference in someone's life, besides my own. I don't just visit mom, there are many things that need to take place for mom to remain healthy and happy.
None see the happiness on mom's face when I give her the nightly spa treatment.
I will write this though. I do this without any help from anyone. I have sisters who, at all turns, think they know what is right for mom. Who do not even visit their mother, but once a month.
One last thing.
My skill set.
I read people easily and quickly. I can spot someone lying. I remember all conversations. I can get someone to tell me the truth. People will tell me everything about their lives, open up to me.
GOD bless and good night
