Hello again
It is Friday and the other day of the week I wash mom's hair. She really enjoys this immensely. I massage her scalp while washing her hair.
I brought her a good dinner. I am glad she ate it. As the other day I ate something and got food poisoning. It was either the ground beef I added to the pasta or the cashews in oil I bought from the dollar store. I woke up yesterday and my stomach felt a little off, and by the end of the day, I was in serious pain. Major cramps and bloating. I was going I hope mom doesn't get sick like this and I was worried all day today, until I got their.
And this morning it was worse. Had to go and go. Finally stable. I could go out now and get to mom's
When I arrived mom was smiling. This said to me that mom is OK. She didn't get food poisoning as I did. I guess that eliminated the ground beef.
So it was the oil packaged cashews.
I will be contacting the company and complaining about this. Last night I was going to make myself some nachos, but I just put everything away and went to bed and watched a movie. I was very hungry but I couldn't eat, nor did I eat today, Still cramps.
I called 811 and spoke with a nurse about this.
Anyways
Mom is OK Happy, healthy and smiling. Perfect. She ate everything at dinner. Had her fruit and then I washed her hair, got her changed for bed.
I don't know if it is getting more difficult for mom to make the distinction between yes and no or I am just suffering with the different pain and not noticing mom's responses. It is when I ask her if she wants this or that and I don't really see her nodding yes or no. I know mom does not speak clearly or much at all. But she does nod her head and hears me. I see that.
It is a hard thing seeing your loved one decline like this.
So today I went for my first physiotherapy session, He assessed me by poking and prodding me. I walked out of their feeling worse than when I went in.
The worst part of this is I am covered by ICBC for 20 sessions, but I have to pay the user fee of $25.00.
Yea right
I payed for today. I might be able to pay for Mondays session. I don't think I can cover Wednesdays and Fridays. Unless the insurance company sends me some money. I am to go 3 times a week. That is allot of money when one does not have it.
The therapist wants me to go get x-rays of my neck. He said it should not be that amount of limited motion after 2 months. I agree.
I need these sessions. But when you have no money, what do you do. Don't go I guess, and not get better. And by not going, the insurance company thinks that you are better and won't do anything for you.
A catch 22 situation.
Please pray for me, that something happens.
Oh yea. The person who is staying here is only here until the middle of August. Then I pay everything.
I have been looking into places, but not luck so far.
GOD bless and good night
Need to go, in pain and major cramping going on. Need to just lye down. Hungry but not
