Hello again
The last few days have been tough, the pain I am experiencing, plus a care aid who is making up things.
Yesterday, it was 7:15 before the care aid came in to put mom to bed and change her pad. Well I didn't let mom sit in her chair for that long.
I read to her and then I had enough of waiting for the care aid, so I put mom to bed myself, then gave her the nightly spa treatment. And we still waited.
I had to go out and speak with the nurse. Then the care aid tells her that she checked earlier and I was busy with mom. Which I said " I don't think so, no one came in and asked me anything, nor did anyone knock on the door"
It was done and the care aid tonight, same one, still didn't get it.
I will be speaking with the manager tomorrow about this. And if nothing is done, I will go above their heads again.
Now tonight mom was very tired. She did not like what I brought her for dinner, so she ate what was served. It is all good. She ate right. That is all that matters.
I washed her hair and got her ready for bed. When I was changing her the care aid, at least, came in and asked if I was ready. A minute, I said. But when she returned, she said nothing to me. I find that extremely rude.
Mom was very tired, but when it came time for her to sleep, it seemed like she was, now, over tired. When I left, mom's eye's were still open. But because of the medication, she was a little dopey. But eye's open anyways.
I am finding that this accident is now causing me to not be able to do everything I use to do for mom... I am experiencing problems pushing mom's chair around. This gets me upset, as I want to take mom out for a walk. since it is beautiful out side.
I am also using my left hand more and more. Tomorrow I will be seeing my doctor and will be asking for xrays of my back, right shoulder, neck and right elbow.
I write and need the use of my right arm.
It is causing me big problems. It is affecting my life, greatly.
Time to go,
GOD bless and good night
