Hello again
I am not dealing well with this diagnosis. I went to my doctor and I told him I wanted to see a different neurologist. Took some insisting but I will be seeing someone else. Don't know when, but as soon as I can. I told him I am not going to wait 6 months for to see someone else.
Went and had my hearing tested again. It is getting a little worse. I have a hard time hearing someone behind me. Great hearing if you are standing in front of me, speaking to me.
When I arrived today, mom was in bed. So much for her Friday night hair wash. This morning or early afternoon, whenever they get mom up. They gave her an enema and mom got sick as well. Through up all over the place, so they put her back into bed in case she became sick again. I understand this. But they didn't even bother to rinse anything. They just put everything in a bag. So when I took everything out to fold it up. Well you get the picture. I just put on some gloves and rinsed everything off and folded it up.
Mom was smiling at me. It wasn't her fault. Things happen. It is okay. I have dealt with much worse over the years.
Well mom was very dehydrated when I got to her room. And she drank allot. Do you see why I write these things. They should of been giving her small amounts to drink through out the day. Not let her just lie their. Speaking of this. On the side rails there is padding. Now they have the TV on for mom to watch. But she can't watch the TV, while lying in bed, with the side rails up and padded. It blocks her view of the TV.
Being sick this day, I was not sure how much dinner mom would eat. But I knew I needed to get fruit into her at least. I brought her a burger, but she wanted no part of this. Closed her mouth when I brought it up to her lips. Lucky the served dinner came at that moment. This she ate some of. I knew she was full. So I went and got her some ice cream. This, with the papaya, she enjoyed. Then, of course, she wouldn't refuse her Lindt chocolate.
We finished up and it was spa treatment time. When mom is sick or got sick, she doesn't want the entire treatment. Just her face and arms/hands. That is all she got and she was ready to just grab my hand and hold on, so she could fall asleep. I sang to her. Oh yea, I removed the padding on the side rails and lowered them, for her to see the TV. It was news hour and she wanted to watch it. Afterwards I turned the volume off on the TV and turned the music on. So I sang with the songs that were playing. Nice jazz. I know most of the lyrics to these songs. Mom enjoys it when I sing to her.
I just stayed with her until she was snoring and packed up. She woke up at this point. I let go of her hand. I quickly packed and grabbed her hand again.
I let her fall back to sleep and sang our good night song to her. Then off I went.
I am done, unless I need to complain some more. Not tonight.
I am desperate. I need to move. Please pray for me to find a place.
GOD says if there are two or more people in the room, praying for the same thing. It shall be done.
GOD bless and good night
