Hello again
I have many wants, but a few needs. This is the only thing I can really say for sure.
Who doesn't have wants or wishes
I want a 27" monitor, but my 15" laptop does just fine for me, for now. Yes I would like to watch movies or TV shows on something larger, but it is OK for now.
I can get all the CRT TV's I want, free, off of Craigslist. But I can't connect my laptop to any of them.
This Blog is an outlet for me.
Mom has rights as a resident of Al Hogg. Since she can't speak for herself, I am her voice. And I won't let mom's dignity and respect suffer. She has a right to sleep with the lights out and without a TV blaring. She has a right to have who she chooses to take care of her.
Since she is unable to speak for herself, I speak for her.
I am a very nice person, but does that mean I have to take or see abuse for anyone. NO! I have a right to speak out and do what is necessary to make sure mom has a decent and quit life. Peace is what she needs. Privacy is lacking, with this roommate. She is always in the room. We cannot even speak without this roommate interrupting us. This needs to stop. Mom needs sometime to herself.
We need time to be alone. To relax in peace, without a TV or hallucinations. Again it is not her fault, but the fault of the staff. Tonight for example, the TV was so loud I had to get someone to turn it down. And mom does not get to fall asleep, with the lights out. As so many other's do, at the home.
So mom ate more salad tonight, this will be two nights and she has had enough. So an omelet tomorrow. She is doing well. But tired, as she is so often. A little bit grumpy.
I do good things for people everyday. I pray that each and everyone I come in contact with, see's the light of GOD and that something happens that day, that will make them think of GOD.
I hate being praised for looking after my mother. I don't deserve it. And it is the right thing to do.
I hold the door open for all, and I give up my seat for other's, even though I am disabled.
Well another night and I am done for now.
I really have to start to write down my thoughts during the day.
GOD bless and good night
Kris Schmuland
