Hello again
I wish to start by saying that I want no one's pity. I just wish for you prayer's to help my mother, by finding a place close to her. I can spend more quality time with her and I don't have to rush off each night. Even when my mother doesn't want me to go. That is the hardest part of living so far away. Mom actually saying don't go, when it is time for me to leave each night.
She is not yet asleep, and just wants me to stay until she is asleep. But if I leave to late, I don't get home until midnight. Then I have things to do, such as write this blog and write in my accident journal.
So I went to the physiotherapists office and asked for them to get approval from ICBC ( our insurance provider). ICBC tells me that they will cover me 100% for active physiotherapy. Than on Friday the physiotherapist office calls me and tells me that ICBC won't cover me for the full amount, that I still have to pay the user fee. This fee is $59.00 per half hour. And they want me to attend 3 one hour sessions a week. Up to 20 sessions. $120.00 per session.
Well last night I had to go through many days worth of journal entries to find out when ICBC told me they would cover me 100% I found the page and it was September 3, 2014. Now I have to deal with them again.
This is denying me access to physiotherapy
That was my bitch.
So for the last few days mom has been very happy, but a little tired. Friday, after dinner, I washed her hair, as usual. This makes her feel so much better, and relaxed.
I don't have much, but I have enough groceries to make mom dinners. So I made her a honey/orange cod. for Friday and this mom enjoyed greatly. With everything else I serve her. And a good meal this evening. Which she also enjoyed.
Last night I was looking for this certain album, and came across a live video of Dianna Krall in Paris. I downloaded this and put it on for mom and I to watch tonight. Mom really enjoys her music. We didn't finish it, so we will tomorrow..
Bath day and mom's is in bed. They didn't change her sheets again today and put a clean nighty on her. But that is OK. As I didn't want to get it dirty, while feeding her anyways. So after dinner I changed her into the clean night gown. Then after the care aid came and changed mom, I asked her to help me change mom's sheets.
This is something I did myself, before this accident. Now I just can't do it without help. My right arm does not work properly.
Tonight I took my time giving mom her spa treatment, so she could watch and listen to the live video of Dianna Krall. Mom was to relaxed to watch it, but she sure enjoyed it. I could see her singing along to it. She knows all of her songs. I sing to her all the time, so she doesn't have a problem singing around me. Even though, she is not singing out loud. Just trying her best. Which, to me, is her best and the greatest.
Tonight I tried to stay longer, and I did manage to stay until after 8 pm. Which let me catch the 8:30 bus. then I got home at 11 pm.
Mom was not fully asleep when I left, and wanted me to stay even longer. I really feel guilty that I can't do this simple thing for her.
She looked so comfortable. Clean night gown, clean sheets and pillow cases. Fresh spa treatment. Yet needed more time with me.
I just want to be closer to her. I only need a few things to live . I just need kitchen things. I have everything else that I need. My needs, not what I want.
I am satisfied with just my needs being met. Everything else will come.
As long as I am close to mom and able to bring her over. Have use of a washer and dryer. plus Internet. I am fine.
Again I ask for your prayers
GOD bless and good night
