Hello again
I have to keep explaining to these people to stop giving mom her medication so early before dinner. Then when I arrive, mom is tired and when she is tired, it is difficult for her to eat. To chew and swallow. She is to tired and mom will just chew and chew. Even the mush they serve her. And she is tired and she leans over to one side. This makes it difficult to feed her or give her something to drink.
I complain about this as I have seen what mom is like when she is given her medication at or while she is eating dinner. There is a huge difference. She will eat her food, chew and swallow without a problem. OK, it depends on what she is eating.
As mentioned, she is not into steak anymore. To tough. I will try a really good cut one of these days. This summer anyways. I know she can eat a hamburger without any problems.
Now I have been trying, for days, to get a hold of this person from the PGT but no luck. Won't return my emails or answer the phone or return my messages. REALLY I understand people are busy, but 3 days now.
So mom ate but not as much as she normally eats and I had to keep getting her to straighten up and having to assist with this. This is painful for me, as I need to use both arms for this. Well, we got it done and I always explain to her, that it is not her, it is getting her medication early.
Had to put her to bed myself this evening. It was 7 pm and I need to be out and on a bus by 8:10 pm I got her into bed and finished part of her spa treatment before the staff came into change her.
Another reason I need to live in White Rock. People tell me I spend allot of time with her. But I am busy from the moment I get their until I leave. I need to spend at least another 1/2 hour or more their to be able to get everything done, with time to hold her hand while she falls asleep.
I like to make sure mom is completely asleep before I leave.
Well need to go, lots to do tomorrow
All this extra things I have been doing with my right arm, has caused it to go numb
GOD bless and good night
My faith is still day to day
