Hello again
I am just saying this as I am very tired, I barely slept last night. I don't know why, I was tried enough. Just couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried. I read, I watched a boring show (I have a few of these just for this occasion), I listened to some soft jazz, this only made me want to listen to more. Not even the medication I have for sleep helped me. Didn't work, okay, I slept for 2 hours after taking it and then that was it for the night.
I have also been falling allot today. I think I broke my pinky finger, It is purple and very sore. Oh well, I didn't even feel it happening. I have no idea what happened. It is hurting typing.
So I arrived today, to see mom's eye's, she was in pain, holding her left arm. That means one thing and one thing only. The staff were to aggressive with her this morning, getting her changed. I know exactly when mom hurts. I even asked her and she clearly said yes.
I got her to her room, gave her something to drink. She didn't even want much. I kept getting up and trying to find the nurse, but each time I could not find her. Finally I found her, after dinner, when I was going to wash mom's hair. And, during dinner, mom usually holds my hand and doesn't want to let go. But tonight, she just held her left arm. Didn't want to hold my hand, her arm was just to painful. So the nurse gave her something for the pain. Tylenol. This alone won't do much for pain. I need to get her to x-rays. I will have to leave really early. And just take her to the hospital, since I can't get a hold of her doctor.
After we washed her hair. I put a warm towel over her left shoulder, this helped a bit, and we went back to her room to change her. I was very careful when doing this tonight. And when I gave mom her spa treatment I did not rub her left arm. I just put lotion on it. Nor did I give her a neck massage. I will lay off of this for a few days. Until we find out what is the problem.
It wasn't long before mom was falling asleep. I packed and held her right hand for half an hour. Just to let her know, someone was there for her. Just as I did with both her hip surgeries. Just being there makes someone fell better.
I am done for now, I need to sleep and my right hand hurts.
My hearing was really bad today. I didn't hear the staff calling me. At the bus stop I didn't even hear the bus pull away..Or even the next one pull up. I was speaking with someone and had my back turned away from the bus stop. I am getting very upset at this.
I just don't have the $6000 it takes to get hearing aids.
I ask for your prayers again.
GOD bless and good night
