Hello again
As it is in the title, it was a typical Raincouver day. Fall is defiantly here. I decided to wear these boat shoes. They have been protected, but my feet were a little wet when I got home. Won't make that mistake tomorrow. Watch, I will wear my boots and it will be sunny Just the way it is.
Mom had her hair done today, and it looks nice. She was a little more awake today. Still her bodies internal clock has not caught up yet. It will take a few days to get use to it. But still, she is hungry at 4 pm, and has to wait for a full hour to eat. I guess I should get their earlier.
Big smile when she saw me. Hugs and kisses is what she wanted today, right away. And she grabbed my hand right after and didn't want to let go. I could barely get to use both hands to feed her and get things done. It is OK. Mom missed me. She is alone. Because of her condition, no one speaks with her. I do, she looked at me this evening, thinking does my son every shut up. I just talked and talked to her tonight.
I have to interrupt this for a moment and say that it has been many, many years since I have actually had a sit down, coffee talk with someone.
So because she was to tired last night, mom was very hungry tonight.
I wrote last night that I will not be able to bring mom dinners for a few days, as I have nothing. As it turned out. I brought some empties, from the upstairs people in today. Made enough to get mom two burgers from McDonald's Then I use points and got some ground beef. Made meatballs tonight, and it will go with lemon pepper, buttered pasta. Had enough left over, after the burgers to get pasta.
So my fears were unfounded. Or should I say GOD provided for me to make mom dinners, so I wouldn't miss a day of providing her with dinners.
Thank you GOD much appreciate it.
And I get to eat as well.
By the time I got the dishes done, mom was already drifting off to sleep. While I was changing her, she was just so relaxed, it was easy to change her.
I always speak to her and tell her what I am doing at each step of the way, while changing her. Getting mom to relax at each step. It is a process.
The staff was right there so as soon as I finished getting mom changed, off to bed she went. And when I came back, mom was mostly asleep. Because of this, I hurried to finish her spa treatment. I was even able to exercise her legs. But quickly did everything. This way I had more time to hold mom's hand until I knew she was fast asleep. I know this because her hand is completely relaxed and she lets go of my hand.
At this point I sang our good night song to her and gave her the nightly kisses. One on each cheek and one on her forehead. Then I kiss her hands. Yes this is the routine and this is what mom expects. So this is what takes place.
Off home I go and it was just pouring rain. Again a typical Raincouver fall day.
Need to go, thanks allot.
GOD bless and good night
