Am not

Hello again

Today mom had her hair done and when this is done mom gets very relaxed and tired. So she did not want to eat allot at dinner. But I did get her to eat most of it.

She did look forward to the Gold kiwi. It is back in season. Mom does not like the green kiwi, only the gold kiwi. It has been since last September since she has had any.

And worry me, did not know if mom was going to be around to experience them again. I get really worried about mom. And I am not sure how long mom has left. So I try not to think about it.

I just go and take care of her, I try to do the best I can. I make sure mom gets great food and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

But I worry allot about her. Everyday.  I worry from the time I leave until the next day when I see her. I am worried all night. That the phone might ring and it is the home.

This depresses me even more than I am.

Anyways, mom wanted to go to bed, so I did the dishes and got her changed. Well the regular girl is not on and we had to wait for a long time for the casual girl to come. I read to her and then I noticed mom needed to get into bed.

As mentioned before, I am not to transfer mom to bed, because of an incident. But the agreement was that mom was to be put to bed between 6 and 6:30 pm. And it was getting on to 7 pm. They all know I take the bus and live 3 hours away, in Coquitlam. But this one casual girl is just rude. She won't even say a word to me. I have been nothing but nice to her. So I pushed the call button to get her attention. And I will continue to do this, until she gets it.

The nurse even put up a sign about this. The staff had a meeting about this, after the incident. I agreed to it as it gets mom in bed right after dinner and I have more time, after finishing her spa treatment, to just be their for mom while she falls asleep.

And when mom is put in bed at 7 pm I am rushing to get the spa treatment done and have time to hold mom's hand while she falls asleep.

If things don't improve I will just start putting her to bed myself, again.

I will have a conversation with the manager tomorrow, if I see her, about this.

Getting late, need to go to bed.

GOD bless and good night
