Hello again
I made mom a nice fish dinner tonight and she enjoyed it immensely. They had mom facing the other way today when I arrived, so she couldn't see me coming. But as soon as I moved her wheel chair, she knew it was me.
I brought her down to her room for the usual. Drinks and getting everything for her dinner. Her plates, fruit, wet cloths and napkins. I noticed that my mother's daughter's had come to visit. A plastic floral array was their.I am not sure if both were their or not. I am glad they took time out of there busy schedule to visit their mother. LOL!
Being Tuesday, we were able to get our usual table. The people that use it on Tuesdays were out on the deck. I forgot anyways, that on Tuesdays we usually eat in her room. Good thing. Brighter for mom.
I have been using my right arm to much and it is getting numb, and doing weird things. But I have to use it to feed mom. she just won't take anything from my left arm.
I was looking around for a better seat cushion as the one mom has now it to hard and causing sores. The one I am thinking about is air filled. There would be no pressure on mom's bottom. It is a ROHO filled with air. No pressure points.
Dinner was done, did the dishes and got mom ready for bed. We had to wait a bit for the care aid, so I just continued to read to mom. We are moving along nicely with her book. I sit beside her, hold her hand and read to her. Mom has her eye's closed and just listens to me.
After the aid put mom into her bed it was the usual spa treatment for mom. And I also exercised her legs. They are very stiff and I want to see if I can get them bending again. So far so good. Mom's legs are starting to relax and bend a bit. Mom is noticing it as well
OK I am done for tonight. I do have more to say. But I am very tired tonight. Not sleeping well. The pain and rolling over onto my right side all night long and waking up.
My faith is still very much day to day. I do need to see something, anything that reassures me that I am guided and helped by GOD
GOD bless and good night
Getting much better at using my left arm for most things and one handed typing.
