Hello again
Well we have defiantly started off our fall the Vancouver way. Rain and lots of it.
I found the receipts for the night gowns So I will give them to the manager as well as email the photo's of the price they are now at Sears.Where I purchased them.
Tonight when I arrive, mom was on the other side of the room looking around.Then she saw me, a big smile came over her face. I just love this.
We got her drinks out of the fridge and went down to her room. when we got their, I checked, as usual for her nightgown in the laundry bin. It wasn't there. I had to, once again, go down the hall and reach into the dirty laundry of everyone's else's clothing. I don't know what other's may have. I could get very sick. I was so made, I saw the manager and told her that this has to stop immediately or I will have to file a complaint. The manager is stunned, as there are signs up everywhere in the room and notes all over the daily charts. And in mom's medical chart. I said this is deliberate. There must be some animosity going on here. But I don't care what they think. Just stop doing this. Or I will have no choice but to file a complaint.
Again tonight mom ate everything I brought her plus most of the served dinner. I don't even know if she is eating anything during the day. She is so hungry and thirsty by the time I get their.
She just kept eating. I don't care how long it takes her or how much she eats. I will sit there, talk to her and continue to feed her.
After it was just the same. Changed her, the care aid put her to bed, and I took care of her spa treatment. Mom relaxed, enjoyed her treatment and then reached out for my hand. As usual. Time was on our side so I was able to stay a little longer. I wanted to anyways. Nothing for me here. Well except to write this and go to bed, watch something.
That is it. I don't even like the other people living here.
Mom's new roommate keeps telling me about this apartment complex. Free heat, free laundry. Less than $800 a month. And only 10 minutes away. I wish. It is an older building. So bigger. Hardwood floors. I truly wish I could afford this. I need an extra $500 a month for this. And I don't have it. Living on my own is all I want. I have almost everything I need. I now have a love seat and a chair. (mom's chair) bedroom suite. Most kitchen things. So I am set. Except for the most important thing. Money.
I will have to live with someone. And that will have to be fine.
ICBC said they would settle my claim. Far below what it is worth. They aren't going to help me with anything. Even though they could. They changed their minds again and now say they will cover all the cost associated with Physiotherapy. But nothing else. Even though they should be covering the cost of me getting to treatment.
Well back to mom.I really can't understand the home saying mom doesn't speak. Every night mom tells me she loves me.She answers no, or yes. Maybe we do have our own language.
Then most important thing is that mom knows I am there for her. And the smiles I receive all the time.
Nothing in my life has been this fulfilling. The peace I receive just being their looking after her.
GOD bless and good night
I wish!
