Hello again
Today was another day, except I had to go to the doctors and deal with the insurance company. I tell the insurance company I need help with things, that I am having a difficult time using my right arm and side. Well we can't help with that, you need a doctors note/letter.
I go to my doctors and he tells me that it is the insurance company who submits the requests to the doctor and he, in return, writes them back with his recommendations. So tomorrow I will have to call the insurance company back and let them know my requests.
One being, and the most important, I need a bag on wheels, carrying the two bags is hurting my shoulder and neck, that I am experiencing difficulties using my right arm. That the pain is to great for me to continue to carry the backpack and then the sports bag. Filled with things.
I have to bring things back an forth to mom's. There are certain things, if left their, will be stolen/taken. I can't put a fridge in mom's room. So therefore I need to bring some of her drinks home with me at night. No other choice. There is only so much room in the guest fridge, that I can use. And it is full of mom's fruit, vegetables, cheese, and other things that need to be refrigerated. Mom likes her fruit cold. Yea the papaya tastes so much better when it is cold.
So what I am saying is I need a bag on wheels to bring what is needed back and forth.
Anyways, last night mom was having an off day, she was not hungry, I could only get her to eat a couple of yogurts and fruit. As it turns out, mom was very full, inside her, as I wrote about a week ago. And she filled anther bed pan up. No wonder mom was not hungry. I wouldn't be either if I was backed up like that.
I put her to bed early, as she was so tired, and after finishing a quick spa treatment, it didn't take long before mom was sound asleep. So I just held her hand for a while, to make sure she was fully asleep.
Tonight was a different story. OK, when I arrived she was very tired. This,again, is due to her getting her dinner meds to early and they kick in right as I am serving her dinner or just before, As was the case tonight. But mom was hungry, very hungry. I knew she would be. And she ate and ate. What I brought her and some of what was served to her, plus fruit and chocolate and allot to drink.
Full spa treatment for her tonight. This she loves, and it makes me feel good when mom is smiling while I wash her face, arms and legs. And put the lotion on her.
This relaxed her and it was not long before mom was asleep tonight.
People say it is a wast of my time spending so much time with mom. But it is all worth it, every bit of it, when mom is smiling while falling and is asleep.
Worth every bit of the traveling I do. Would prefer to be living close by. This I will say that this accident has caused me to have to turn down a place. Needed the extra income from this one thing I was working on. I had to be living in White Rock to do this.
I did tell the insurance company this, but no response from them, while on the phone with them this afternoon.
Mom is good anyways. I am going to be starting her on liquid B Complex to go along with her Vega One supplement.
I received the posters from the Yukon I asked for. And checked out the cost of framing them. Not to bad, free is better, but we know that is not going to happen. So the cost is not to bad. Considering the size of the posters. Mom will love them on her wall.
I am also burning DVD's for mom. The Blue Planet, Planer earth. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby movies and shows. I have all of Gilligan's Island.etc... You know the show I am talking about. John Wayne movies, Maybe, I don't think mom likes westerns. I try one out.
Still scanning her photo's, to put onto a digital photo frame. I only have so much time. This is why living in White Rock is important, allowing me more time for these things.
Well have to go again. Have other things I need to get done before going to bed.
GOD bless and good night
