Hello again
Today was mom's usual bath day. So I knew what to expect. Mom being very hot and with to many covers on her. And extremely thirsty. Which I dealt with as soon as I walked into her room. It was just her in the room, which makes for a much more quite and pleasant evening. I got mom out of all the covers and a little cooler. But had to put a towel besides her, as she is leaning allot more lately. Not sure what that is about. Now I can solve her leaning in her chair. Just need to put a pillow beside her while she is in bed and I am feeding her. After that mom can lean all she wants. It is good for her and good for me.
I brought her the usual fair for Saturday. And mom ate most of it. But she was very tired again and so she was sleep eating. Eye's closed while she ate and chewed her food. Mom does this allot while I give her drinks in the evening after she is in bed. So why not do it while I feed her. OK with me. Mom trusts me enough to know I am not going to give anything bad. That is why I won't give mom her medication. No association with that, for me.
I put Christmas music on and we both were singing to it. The lights on the tree were lit. The rest of the lights in the room dimmed.
Being Saturday, I needed to change her sheets. The staff used to do this, now they put on regular home sheets. Just lazy. And again it is starting. The staff are putting mom's dirty clothing in the wash and I am having to go and dig them out.
A word will be mentioned to the manager and if it does not stop, I will be leaving a nasty note for them and I don't give a crap if it upsets them. To bad. Do your job, learn to read. Signs everywhere. Not my problem if I file a complaint. It will be theirs.
Anyways I changed mom's sheets. Can do it very quick without disturbing mom. No need to roll her at all. Within 10 minutes the bed is completely changed with mom still in it.
Now by the time I got to giving mom her spa treatment, she was mostly asleep. Yet mom wanted the full spa treatment. And yes she enjoyed it very much.
It was just holding her hand, listening to Christmas music until I needed to leave.
So here I am and now I need to go.
GOD bless and good night.
