Hello again
So I went the doctors today, and he is sending me for x-rays. It seems that it is to long for me to have such restricted movement in my neck. And on top of that my elbow is killing me. The arm is getting numb. the back hurts etc.............................................................................................................................
Anyways, my doctor is in White Rock, so I went straight to mom's after this. And it is Tuesday, so we ate dinner in her room. The table we normally use is busy on Tuesdays and the family room is in use a 6 pm. If we were to use the family room, I would have to rush mom through dinner. And that I will not do. We take our time, that way mom can chew her food and swallow it. Have a nice relaxing dinner.
If I were not to feed her, the staff would rush her through dinner. Not giving her a chance to even digest her food before putting another spoon full in her mouth. This is why they serve her pureed food. They don't have the time to let mom actually enjoy her food.
No word from the doctor on giving mom the B Complex I purchased for her. This is what the nurse was telling me. Of course not, I said to her. I just gave the bottle to you yesterday. It will take the doctor a few days to get this done.
I am also going to get mom flax seed and grind it up, and put it on her food. This will give her extra vitamins plus the omega 3 she needs. Plus the added benefit of this, is it will help her with constipation. Keep her moving. As stated, Tylenol is very bad and constipates people. Any form of it. The keep trying to tell me it is only the one with codeine in it.
Now we finished and mom was in a hurry for me to change her and get her into bed. But we had a few minutes before the care aid came in to put her in bed. So I read some more of the book we are reading. The Life of Pi. Good story. Mom is liking it.
And the rest we all know. Spa treatment and then I just held her hand while she fell off to sleep.
Someone else said to me today, This is a womens job, why are you doing it. I replied, this is my job, this is what I do and mom has no problem with me doing this for her. I know she prefers it, over my mother's daughters. I also stated to this person, that this is obviously something you would not be able to do. Just by their reaction I knew it was true. They were alarmed.
Well I am done, I have other things I need to do before turning this computer off.
GOD bless and good night for today. My faith is day to day.
