Hello again
OK, cold for us. Not the rest of the world. 2 c. We are spoiled here in Vancouver. I am truly sorry that the rest of Canada is snowed in.... And the storms are still coming.
When I arrived today I made mention to the manager about mom' back of her shirt and sweater being soaking wet on Monday and her only wearing a short sleeve shirt on Tuesday. Let's hope something is done about this. I am still going to bring it up in my complaint to the PCQO
I would like to take a moment away from the above. The only thing I have of my parents, as the sisters took everything when they conned my parents into selling their home in Coquitlam, is a winged back chair. An expensive wing back chair. Now it was at my younger sisters place and she put it in a corner and just let her cats have at it. It is a beautiful chair. The cats used it as a scratching post and the sister did nothing about it. And the took my art easel. None of them have any artistic talent what so ever. My expensive easel.
Back to today. After I spoke with the manager I went and took mom to her room. On my way their I picked up a few things. Some potted flowers and two garden gnomes. Perfect for her window sill. The flowers were $1.00 each in a 4" pot. Cheap, and beautiful colours. They really brightened up her room. Maybe I will get a few more to put around her room.
After this, I gave mom her drinks. She is always very thirsty when I arrive. Why is that, I may ask. It was time for dinner. I got her something nice for dinner this evening. I Warmed it up came back and mom ate all of it and was full.
Being Wednesday, it was the day for me to wash mom's hair. This I did as soon as dinner was done. I waited to do the dishes until after her spa treatment and mom was relaxed. But today mom was very agitated. Holding her left arm. She was in pain today. Her left arm was really bothering her. It seemed like she just wanted to pull it off. And get rid of the problem. I see wear she is coming from. Her arm is in pain, she can't use it as she wishes. Can't open her fist.. Left arm. I need to speak with her doctor and she if we can have something done.
I do wish for an x-ray of her shoulder. I have a feeling it is dislocated. If so, something can be done about it. I also want mom to be taking something else for the pain besides Tylenol. It is just to bad on her liver. I won't take it and believe no one should. To many side effects from it. And, really, it doesn't work.
I ended up finishing early and I packed up, so I can spend more quality time with mom before I had to leave. Which I did. It is funny, I am holding mom's hand and her eye's are closed, but she keeps opening them up, just a little, to see if I am still there. It is sweat.
So I saw the neurologist again today, but I am waiting to see another one, for a second opinion. He prescribe to me, some medicine for Parkinson's. I won't be taking anything until I get a second opinion. I even mentioned this to him. Sorry Doc.
So my mood has been crappy, but I am excellent at hiding this. And I do not show it in front of mom or anyone else. What good would it do. No one gives a crap, rats ass. etc...... That has been shown to me over the last many years I have been taking care of mom.
Still can't find a place to live. I just hate being here. That is evident from my constant complaining. I don't feel safe. I don't have much, but what I do have I would like to keep. And if I do have Parkinson's. I need to be closer, as I am not going to be able to continue with the traveling.
Stop, I will wait until I have a second opinion before I write about this anymore. That is it.
DONE
GOD bless and good night
