Hello again
It is a human rights violation to allow someone to continuously being subjected to an individual who is delusional. This is a danger to my mother. Her health suffers as a result of this... Not enough sleep, disrupted sleep. On top of this, the lights are constantly on until late in the evening. As well as the TV. The delusions and hallucinations continue through out the night. Calling for the staff all night.
This leads to not eating properly, Depressed immune system. General lack of interest. The unimaginable part of this, is the staff are fully aware that this takes place and of her condition, but do nothing about it.
Here is a great example of this. Last night the roommate was sound asleep, snoring, before I was about to leave. So I turned out all the lights and the TV. The staff came in, it was snack time, turned on the lights, and woke her up.. The TV went back on etc.....
They didn't even get that it was not necessary to wake her up.
Last night, I had a coupon for a burger and onion rings. Mom had some of her salad left. Mom just loved this and devoured it. And everything else. Mom has a great appetite when it is something she enjoys.
Today was mom's bath day. Sunday! But to start this, I have been in a very bad mood as of late. Things just aren't going well. And this was very apparent today. People just irritated me, today. Everyone. Not a good day.
But, as I have said before, I don't bring my attitude or problems in with me, when I visit mom. Check them at the door. But tonight mom was restless and hot. I tried to cool her off and calm her down, Nothing seemed to work. I think she felt my mood. I tried and tired to get mom relaxed, but it was time to leave and mom was still very restless, having a problem falling asleep. I am not sure how long, tonight, it took her to fall asleep, but most likely a while. I stayed as long as I could, but eventually I needed to leave.
This is the part of the night I dislike the most. Wanting to stay longer and knowing that I can't stay. As I have 3 hours of bus rides in front of me. I found this great place, but short again.
OK, I didn't sleep well last night, at all. And this is one of the reason I am in such a bad mood today. And I had some computer issues last night.
Anyways, I am tired and have a few emails I need to write. So I need to go for now.
GOD bless and good night
