Hello again
So the other day, mom was so tired she could barely eat. I tried and it was getting frustrating. It was not mom's fault, it was and is the roommates fault for keeping mom awake.
Now it is affecting mom's health. And I will be screaming at them on Monday. Enough is enough!
I did get her to eat something. But when mom is this tired, she will just chew and chew. Even if she has already finished what she had in her mouth. Or she chews and chews and has a hard time swallowing. This is because she is very tired and not very hungry.
So enough is enough.
Yesterday, when I was leaving, the roommate was asleep, so I turned off the TV and lights and that was that. I informed the staff that I did this. I thought maybe mom could get a good night sleep.
Well I arrived today and mom was well rested and happy. She ate a full dinner and dessert. Had lots to drink. So well hydrated.
Got her to bed and gave her the nightly spa treatment. Held her hand. Oh yea, I read to her while we waited for the care aid to come and change mom and transfer her to bed. It was a few days that we were able to read. So this was a good thing.
I stayed latter than usual, I was still able to get back at a decent time. Now I am doing mom's and my laundry. I will be finished at 12:30 am. .
The roommate tonight was having serious hallucinations and arguing about it with me. Telling me that someone was in the room, when the person was in the dinning room.
Well I am talking to her right now, she tells me. I just ignored her and went about my business with mom. And after dinner I didn't bother with her. Still having hallucinations and still trying to tell me the person is their.
I just let the staff deal with it.
I have to go now. Late and tired myself. I still have things to do, tonight.
GOD bless and good night
