Some times

Hello again

I would like to start with this. It is something to know that I was not going to be covered for hearing aids. But to actually get the letter that states that one is denied assistance for medical equipment. As I am not on disability. This is the part that really pissed me off.

These hearing aids are something that I actually need. And I can't get them. I am loosing my hearing and will go deaf. But my government tells me they don't give a rats ass if I need hearing aids or if I go deaf. We won't help you out.

This was my last place to write to.

Mom has not been eating properly. I need to figure it out. Why this is happening. She is very tired when I arrive. Even today. When I got their early, to wash her hair. I got their at 3:30 and by the time dinner came along, all mom wanted to do was go to bed. She ate some of her dinner. Half the avocado. It was difficult for me to get her to eat the entire papaya. Mom isn't even wanting to eat, but one of her chocolates. Usually mom eats the 3 pack.

It is not enough dinner that she is eating. Even bringing her some home cooked meals. One way to get her to eat her dinner, is not get their before 4 pm and have her eat at that time. Maybe she won't be so tired.

I do need to get mom a case of ensure, so she can get some nutrition into her system. Home cooked meals. More salads.

But what is really necessary is to get mom the proper sleep she needs. A restful night. Not being kept up with the lights on and the TV going at a unreasonable volume. And nobody doing anything about it.

Yes it is the same old complaint. Yet nothing is being done about it.

It is time to speak with a legal advocate concerning the abuse. Mom's health is suffering. I told them this would happen.

This cannot continue to take place. This kind of misappropriate behavior.

And when mom gets this tired. She wants what she wants and to not wait. She will grab the plate and bang it and get angry at me. Which usually entails her slapping me. She is tired and all she wants is her spa treatment. Plus, she need to be changed.

Mom has been motioning for me to put her on the toilet. I guess I have suck it up and do this for her. I have said I would do most things except take her to the bathroom. It bothers me a bit. I understand she wants me to do this for her. Suck it up Kris. It is your mother and she needs you. She wants me to do this.

I just never thought I would be changing her diaper or whipping her bottom. Times change and it is time I do this for mom. Since no one else does this for her. They leave her sitting in soiled diapers for hours. So I will find out which machine is used to lift mom up and onto the toilet, and I will start doing this for mom

My campaign to help me raise funds for the hearing aids is not going well. Actually, it is not going at all. Nothing.

It is easier to raise money to produce an album than it is to get help with hearing aids that will help make someones life better. Without them my life will become even more quite. To the point where I won't be able to hear anymore. Great isn't it.

Have to go

GOD bless and good night

Mom is chating up a storm

Hello again

Lately mom has been eating sparsely, Being over tired and not hungry. Just wanting to go to bed. I do understand her wanting to go to bed. She gets a nightly spa treatment and a foot rub. Which she looks forward too.

But, her not eating a full dinner is starting to trouble me. Even if I bring something, home cooked, purchased etc.. She is only eating fruit ( which is good unto it's self) but she needs to eat more. I am worried.

I need to get her proper sleep. So she can have the proper rest she needs, to maintain her health. Mom needs to sleep in a dark room, with no TV on. Just as I do, and am sure most people.

But again, the staff do nothing about it. I can't allow this to continue. It is causing mom harm.

Yes a complaint that I make over and over again. And I bring it up over and over again, with the staff.

My foot massage, as well as massaging underneath her knee's. With this I am able to bend her knee's more and more. I am trying to get mom to completely bend her knee's again. So she can push herself around. Instead of being stuck in one spot. As per where the staff put her. If it was not for the staff, mom would still be able to move herself around. As she did before she came to this place. She also used the washroom, I got her up walking.

As you can see, this place does nothing for any of the residents. Except to maintain them.

Mom cannot speak, due to a stroke. I am her voice. My mother's daughters are standing in my way of making sure mom gets the proper treatment.

I need to be living in White Rock to be able to get to the home and get mom up and walking. Get her exercising her legs and her left arm and hand. To be take her out for walks around the area, down to the beach, to the mall etc...... Get her out and about.

The last few days mom has been talking up a storm. I wish my mind was not so cluttered with all the crap I am dealing with. Needing hearing aids, no funds, no coverage. Needing to move to White Rock. These things are causing my mind to become clouded. I need to have a clear mind to understand mom. As her stroke has caused her words to not be clear. She mumbles. I can understand her most of the time. Through her facial expressions, body language etc....But lately, the last few days. I have been worried. This is causing me grief.

I need to have a clear mind to converse with her. I want to be able to understand her. I think I need to leave more at the door when I arrive their.

I will try.

Have to go

GOD bless and good night

I do say

Hello again

These last few days, mom has been  extremely tired. Yesterday, being Saturday, mom barely ate anything. I brought her sweet and sour meatballs and long grain a wild rice. Had a few bits of it. I had a hard time getting mom to even eat her papaya. But she did eat it. She just wanted to go to bed.

This is what I have to deal with. Her roommate stays up all night. the lights are on. The TV is on. She speaks to herself. The doctors have not addressed the hallucination problem. They need to change her medication. She is constantly calling the staff. The staff will turn the light out and right away, she turns it back on. They will  put her headphones on and turn the volume down. But within a few minutes she takes her headphones off and turns the volume back up.

What don't the staff get, take the remote away. Turn the light out and take the string away the controls the lights

I am really pissed off about this. It has now been almost 6 months that I complained about this. They telling me they will do something about it. And nothing. This is how they treat the sons and daughters, and relatives of the residents of Al Hogg three. I am sure this is the way they treat all the residents and their families.

People have passed away, room has become available. People have moved in and out. But they can't do one simple thing. I would say this is ABUSE. Abuse of our loved one's. And no one does anything about it;...

I am going to do something about it.

I am dealing with my hearing loss and not being able to purchase them. And needing to move to White Rock and not having the funds to do so.

I am stuck in Coquitlam. And at the end of this month.  The new owners of this house is giving everyone an eviction notice. Yes they have to give us 60 days.

My doctor gave me some medication for the pain in my knee's. Well, it produced extreme agitation, nausea, and a very large headache. I took the medication twice. And this is what the side effects are after taking them twice.

I am extremely upset that I need hearing aids and can't afford them. My campaign on indiegogo. is still at zero.

I need to go. I am still dealing with the headache. The agitation is going away. People are pissing me off. And my mind is not as clear as it should be.

GOD Bless and good night

Now where is the GOD I keep praying to. I am doing the right thing and I am not getting any help from HIM or anyone or anywhere.

It is making me want to stop believing. What is the point. GOD knows I need to be living White Rock, to take care of the issues that need to be taken care of for mom. Speaking with the people I need to speak with to get mom the results she deserves.

GOD knows I need hearing aids. I pray and pray. GOD knows I need serious help. That my time is traveling back and forth to White Rock everyday. HE knows I need to free up those hours.

WHERE IS HE. WHY ISN'T HE DOING SOMETHING.

It makes me want to stop reading the bible and to stop praying.
