Hello again
It use to be mom's bath day, but since we switched rooms, it is now Saturday for bath day. So today was different. You get use to a certain routine. I am not the only one who is off, mom is as well.
It is when mom is very tired I get worried. It is the weekend though and mom seems to be very tired. It could be just the rain. We will see what she is like tomorrow.
Mom seems more relaxed in her new space. Instead of having the phone on her chest, mom just wants to listen to the stereo. It sounds better anyways. We sat their, while waiting for mom to get changed. Speaking of this. The casual staff seem to be coming into change mom after 7 pm. Knowing full well that I need to leave by 7:50 pm. By coming in at this time, it makes me have to rush to get mom's spa treatment done. I like to spend a good while, just standing there and hold mom's hand, while she falls asleep.
The nurse even has brought it up, every night. But to no avail. It is not fair to mom, who needs this comfort, of me holding her hand at the end of her day.
Mom's left hand seems to be relaxing and will open up within a week. I can almost guarantee it. She is speaking, a little. Of course it is going to take mom a little while to get use to the quite of her new room. Being around noise for a year and a half. Sleeping or not to noise, hallucinations and delusions.
Myself I am in extreme pain, my right elbow is hurting and I have no clue how this happened. I don't remember hitting it in the accident. But it happened so fast, I am not sure of it.
Can't turn my neck left or right. And my back is hurting. I am having a hard time carrying what I normally carry each day. I bring things back and forth to mom's daily. Her laundry, dinner, drinks and other things. Tomorrow I have to get her drinks. Since they are on sale, I need to buy them. I am not looking forward to having to carry them home.
I am having to take extra pain killers. Which I am not happy about. I also have to get a printer this week and carry that home.
Anyways, I am there for the long haul, when it comes to looking after mom. Not going anywhere.
I still have not found a place, The landlord will be taking me to the rental board for eviction. I just can't afford to pay the $1050 it cost for this whole place.
Have to go. Need some rest. Get off my feet and just lay down. After I pray.
GOD bless and good night
