Hello again
I have not written as I have been in real pain, my arm has been hurting me. I have had to write some very important emails. And by the time I was finished with them it was late.
So I arrived today and mom's eyes lite up. A huge smile on her face. I put the pain I was feeling, in check. I needed to be their for mom and out of my own self pity
It was very hot at her home today, so we ate dinner in her room, where she has a fan and was much cooler. To the point I had to turn the fan off. Mom was a little chilled.
Mom ate and ate tonight. And barely ate her fruit. But she did, none the less.
I quickly got her ready for bed, so we could get back into the book. She is really enjoying this book. The life of Pi.
Sad to say we were only able to get through a few pages before the care aid came in and transfered mom to bed.
I gave her the nightly spa treatment and then proceeded to exercise her legs. Mom is able to bend her legs more and more with each passing day. It took a long time to get stiff, so I expect it will take a long time for her to be able to bend her knee's again. I am going very slowly.
We ended up finishing early, and I ended up staying latter. I love to just stand there and hold her hand while she falls asleep. But she needs to here our good night song, before she is completely relaxed. She is so use to hearing it, before bed.
I usually leave at 7:45, but tonight I left at 8:15. This is why I need to be living in White Rock. Just to stay as late as I want, without having to leave.
Now it has come to my attention. And done behind my back. That the home wants to buy mom clothing that has Velcro closures in the back.
Have you ever seen any of these cloths. They look like crap. They are polyester and feel horrible. We already went through this. Mom refused to wear them, And I told the individual that mom will not wear this and I won't let her. I told them what she likes and how to buy them. One size bigger.
It seems the lazy staff don't like to dress mom in her clothing. It is to difficult for them. I always buy one size bigger. I always buy pants with elastic waists.
The summer clothing I have purchased is the same. But I guess I needed to buy two sizes larger. I spoke with the OT about this the other day, and it was agreed upon that I would just buy larger sizes. But this women went behind my back.
We have been there and done that. And it isn't going to happen again.
Mom likes to dress a certain way, and has always like to dress this way. And this is the way she is going to continue to dress. Period
Just look these clothing lines up. Womens adaptive clothing, for seniors. You will see what I mean.
Why on earth has someone not come up with a clothing line that makes seniors with special needs, more attractive. Come on now. No one would want to wear this stuff. The only reason they even stay in business is there is no real competition.
OK it is now getting late. I wanted to be in bed already
GOD bless and good night
