Hello again
So Saturday and it is again, mom's bath day. They get her up, give her a bath and put her back to bed. But lately they have been putting on this channel that only plays show on murders and solving them. All day long.
I do not want mom to be exposed to this. There is so much else on that mom can enjoy. Channels with older shows that she watched, and movies that our of her day and age.
Something uplifting is what she needs.
It was very difficult tonight feeding mom and doing everything else for her. As my right arm is not good, when I use it, my headache gets worse. My back gets worse. It is from the turning back and forth.
I was feeding her in bed. And the tray is facing one direction and mom is in bed, in another direction.
But mom did eat allot tonight. She was very hungry. I say this is good. I had to take extra painkillers, just to be able to give mom her spa treatment.
As soon as I was finished mom's spa treatment, she immediately reached for my hand. Actually, she was reaching for my hand before I was finished.
When I am there visiting and helping her, I talk to her as much as possible. I try to keep her engaged. I sing to her, I tell her jokes etc......
Mom was smiling and in a good mood tonight. Not so much yesterday. But that was OK, as usual. I don't let it bother me when mom is in a bad mood. I just tell her I love her, give her hugs. Let her know it is OK
Mom has been falling asleep quickly the last few days. I hope she sleeps through the night. I make sure mom is comfortable before I leave each night.
It is becoming difficult to carry things now.. It really hurts my neck and arm. I will be needing a backpack with wheels.
Writing is almost out of the question. Just the act and motion of writing bothers my elbow and shoulder. which in turns puts a strain on my neck.
So I am going now, to just relax and lie on my bed, and watch something.
GOD bless and good night
