It is the same as before

Hello again

So I spoke with the manager and guess what. It was the same response as with the last manager. We don't have any rooms available or we don't know what to do. I will have to check it out and get back to you.

This is exactly what the last manager said to me each and every time I complained about the roommate. So I am glad I phoned the Complaint department again today.

As mom was extremely tired when I arrived today. I go their early so I could was her hair. And then when I fed her dinner, her eyes remained closed. But I am glad that mom trusts me enough to allow me to feed her.

She did eat, but was almost asleep when I got her ready for bed. Then before I could finish her spa treatment, that was it. She just wanted me to stop and hold her hand while she fell asleep. This was OK with me. I didn't get to finish, but tomorrow is another day.

Still mom is constipated and I am trying to do what I can. Again since they keep giving her Tylenol all the time, it is going to be hard. I am feeding her foods with fiber, the smoothie is good for this. I just have to get mom to drink the tea ( poop tea) as I refer to it. It is a little on the strong side ( spices ). Have to put allot of lemon in it, sugar and milk. But she will drink a little of it, she needs to drink the whole cup. Not 1/4 of it.

So after the spa treatment, I stood their and held mom's hand. It is funny though, when she gets really relaxed her hand, that I am holding relaxes as well. But when I go to remove my hand, she closes her hand so I don't let go.

What I need is a hot water bottle as well, to place on her stomach. This will help relax the bowels. I love it when she smiles at me. Everyone see's this when I arrive. They know mom is now in the presence of someone who is truly their to care for her.

And my little rant. I am now seeing homes with their Christmas trees up. And I have nothing and no one. It would be nice to have something.

To find a place and furnish it. Including a TV.

I need to go, tired and still not hungry. I don't know how long I can go being not hungry. OK I do know.

GOD bless and good night

I have chosen a life of servitude, looking after my mother
