Hello again
Today was not a good day for me. My back is in extreme pain today. I can barely stand up straight. Sitting or standing is painful.
And mom was overly affectionate today. Wanting to hold my hand and pull. Even though I mentioned to her that my back was killing me. Wanting hugs and more hugs. Maybe she was feeling sorry for me and thought that by hugging me would be of comfort. I really just didn't want to be touched today. But I can't expect mom to understand that. It would be nice though.
As soon as I arrived mom was very affectionate. Immediately reaching for my hand and pulling me close to her.I tried, but sometimes I just needed to pull away and let go of her hand. It was just to painful.
Other than that. Lets see. Mom has a bruise above her right eye.Actually, it is 4 cm beside her eye and I asked what happened. No one could tell me. Then I have been thinking about it. There is a very distinctive straight line within her bruise. What could of caused such a line. Mom is in a wheelchair, Nothing for her to hit her head on. There is padding all of the bed.
Then on the way home it dawned on me. Yesterday, when I arrived mom was in her room. Facing the TV with her right side. Not usually the way they position her to watch TV in her room. Right next to the corner of the wall. It was not mom who pulled herself against the wall. She could not possibly pull herself that hard to cause such a bruise. It was when the staff member who positioned her, that this happened. They must of used some force to cause such a noticeable straight line.
I am saying straight up, that this is exactly what happened. No if's and buts about it. They are abusing her clothing. Destroying the nightgowns. And since I have complained about it. They are taking it out on mom, now.
Of course they will all deny that this happened and that they never abuse the residents. Bullshit I say. I have witnessed this happening over and over again. I saw a care aid, open handed, slap a resident. That is just one of the infractions I have witnessed. So they can say anything they want. This is what happened.
That is why mom was so very talkative yesterday. We can count the hours. It was the night staff who noticed the bruising on mom's face. And it takes 6 to 12 hours for a bruise to appear. It was not presenting while I was there, So it happened in the early afternoon. And this is why mom has been flinching allot lately. I thought something was up. Now I know.
And if any of you,who read this Blog are a care aid or nurse. You know dame well this happens all the time. But you deny it. To protect your job. '
Whoever is a care aid and are abusing anyone. You should be fired. And bared from every working in this business again.
You know who you are!
Other than that mom was in a good mood. As mentioned above. We finished dinner late and got her hair done, latter than usual. But it was OK.
I really can't believe how much mom has been eating lately. It is all good. I like it when mom has an appetite.
I am now going I am in real pain and need to lay down, flat on my back. I have to first sit, then roll myself onto my side, before I can lay flat on my back.
GOD bless and good night.
