Hello again
A beautiful day. I decided to leave early to take mom out for a walk. Yes it would hurt but there is an electric wheel chair they can put mom in for me to take her out with.
I leave and then in Surrey, this women gets on. She is on a scooter. But it doesn't work properly. It took 15 minutes for her to get into position. Reverse didn't work. Then in White Rock another 15 minutes to get her off. So the 35 minute bus ride took over an hour today. I was not early at all. I just had enough time to get a few things for mom and get down to her place for dinner.
They started to give mom the liquid B vitamins. And mom is a little hyper. A little impatient. I mentioned to her again that I am sore and I am slower than normal. I think mom understood. Maybe not.
But she was leaning again. So I put a towel on the side she was leaning towards. This kept her straight. I explained that I don't like to keep pushing her straight. I didn't want to hurt her. So I need to do this.
Well mom was trying and trying to lean over. I told her kept trying, I don't think it is going to work. Mom smiled and laughed. But she kept trying anyways.
I know she just wants to be close to me. She needs to be touched and loved. I know this. But for her safety she needs to have this towel their. I don't want her falling out of the chair.
Still impatient though.
We finished dinner, got he dishes done and off to her room. After I got her changed we had some time. So I continued reading to her. We are moving along with this book. Mom seems to enjoy it.
Mom was put into bed, by myself. I am patient, but for only so long. Then I just did it myself. I have been doing this for many years so I know what I am doing. Besides, mom doesn't want to sit in the chair forever.
She got her medicine early. And when done her spa treatment mom was almost asleep.
I stayed for a while and sang our song to her.
It is great when I leave mom has a huge smile on her face. While falling asleep.
I am trying not to use my arm and keeping myself as straight as possible to minimize the pain. But it can only do so much.
Very hard not to use my dominant hand. I really have to think about doing everything now.
OK I need to eat and watch something. Go to bed
GOD bless and good night
