Hello agian
I didn't write yesterday as I was walking back and forth out in White Rock. Looking at a place past where mom is. Then having to have blood work done for my CT scan that is coming up in September. For my head and neck. The lab was closed in the Hospital, I was going to wait until today, but this lady sitting their told me of a lab up the street. So off I go, the 6 blocks. Have the blood work done, then back I go to see mom. Back and forth I walked.
So when I got home. I was tired. There.
Now today, the doctors office called me. Go figures, I step out to throw some garbage away and they phoned. I couldn't get back to them until after 1 pm. Lunch.
It was my doctor calling about the tests. It seems I have a high white count and something else. He is worried about this. Asked me how I felt, if I was coughing allot. Over tired. I cant' tell him. I am always tired. I travel 3 hours each way by bus. Now I have this to worry about.
I asked him if could be mold related. He needs to see me and check things out. There is mold in the bathroom where I am at. It is getting worse. I have told the landlord about this many time. He is doing nothing about it.I have been taking photo's of it as it gets worse.
Enough about me.
Now being Wednesday yesterday, it was a day of hair style, then I needed to clean her ears out. This took a while. I also needed to cut and file her nails. Mom's left hand is closed into a fist. So I have to open it and keep it open while I cut her nails. It is bothersome for mom. It hurts when I open her hand. Needed to be done.Then the spa treatment afterwards to clam her down. This took over an hour to do. But these things have to be done every few weeks.
Mom was glad when it was over.
The sheets where a mess, I guess when the staff where feeding mom breakfast, they spilled all over the place, today. So it is lucky I brought clean sheets with me today. I had to change the sheets before putting mom to bed. Mom was ready.
Last night and tonight mom ate and ate. And was still hungry. So I gave her more. I like it when mom is hungry. But not when she is this thirsty. It means the staff are not giving mom enough liquids during the day. I will be speaking to the manager about this. Especially now that it is summer and hot.
The last few days I have been trying to read more of the book to mom. The staff have been coming in early and I ask mom, once she is in bed, and we are finished with everything. If she wants me to read to her. NO, she said. I asked if when in bed, if all she wants me to do is hold her hand while she relaxes and she just said yes.
I really want to finish this book so we can watch the movie.
I am staying latter. I just need to. I am still getting home at the same time though. It is a little weird.
OK I do need to go. I have to get up early and get to the doctors before seeing mom. He is going to try and squeeze me in. It could be a long wait.
I will be getting a few bio hazardous bags from the home, to collect a sample of the mold.
Now I really need some help. The pain and the shaking is getting really bad. I need allot of prayers. Prayers so I an find a place ASAP It is becoming difficult carrying everything. My neck and right arm are getting worse. And I am not getting any help from the insurance company. Even though it was not my fault that I got hurt.
I need to be healthy for mom. To take care of her the way she is accustom to being taken care of.
I am loosing money. I have had opportunities to write Representative agreements,but can't because I can't take the necessary notes.
I draw and can't do this. My arm is not steady enough. Nor am I able to write poetry as I did. Ideas come and I need to write them down.
I wish I had adds on this Blog. I use to, I don't know what happened to them.
I will say, mom is very happy that I come and spend time with her. When someone tells her that she has a good son. She squeezes my hand tightly.
I need to go and try to eat something.
GOD bless and good night
