Hello again
Yes it has been two days since my last post. Just tired last night and went to bed when I got home,..
Mom has not had to wait, as the care aid that is on, is very good and doesn't understand, herself, why this is the way it is.
Mom has eaten a very lot these last few days, but has not been able to go to the bathroom. Constipated. She is just filling up and no where to go.
We will be speaking with the nurse tomorrow.
Her roommate was asleep when I arrived today and when mom and I returned to the room. No TV playing, no hallucinations or delusions. Not talking to no one. After getting mom in bed and giving mom her nightly spa treatment, I turned out the lights and just stood there and held mom's hand while she fell off to sleep.
I had only to turn the stereo on, at volume 6, instead of the usual 10. The difference, no TV blaring in the background.
I just have to get this new nurse to give mom her nightly medication before I leave, so mom is woken up, to be given the medication. I speak with her tomorrow. It should not be a problem. I don't think, anyways. She seems to appreciate my being their for mom.
There are more and more people coming up to me telling me about their issues with this place. I have not done anything to warrant this. I am very easy to speak with. This happens all the time. People tell me all about their problems and before I know it, I know everything about them. I know allot about allot of people. But I never say anything to anyone else concerning what others tell me. Trust is important. Bringing respect.
Again no fridge for mom's room. And can't get one for my room. I need to buy groceries and have not been able to. He even emptied the salt box. It was full, as I rarely use salt for anything. Everything already has enough salt on it.
Still waiting for a price on the wheel chair leg rests. Inclining leg rests. Should be Monday. Mom really needs these.
I am mad now, mad at the fact that I can't find a place close to mom. No one gets it. I only want to help mom out even more than I am now. To be within walking distance. So I can stay longer at night. And be their for her lunch.
I don't need much. But I would like a TV again. Something I can hook my laptop too. The CRT TV's just are not good enough anymore. Can't hook anything up to them. The laptop does not have the proper connections. RCA.
It has been a very long time since I actually watched TV. I don't mean the downloads I do every night. I mean to just be able to turn the TV on and randomly watch something, nothing, anything. Nonsense if I want to.
But I think I have done something to GOD to have no help from anyone. I am a good person, I help. I do for other's without expecting anything in return.
I really must of pissed GOD off to ignore me.
I just want to help my mother. And I just need a few things. I don't ask for much. But I do ask for some help. Be it pots and pans, cutlery, dishes etc... I can get furniture from somewhere.
Everything I do I do to make my mother's life better. I give everything and I want to give even more. My mother deserves everything. All I can give and more. To make her life better. To make her life happier. To let her know someone loves her and cares for her.
And I am that person, her son.
I am going to end this for the night. Tired and hungry, so to bed to watch something, I go.
GOD bless and good night.
