Hello again
Today I met with the manager and delivered a hard copy of the cease and desist letter and we had a nice discussion. We went through all my complaints one by one. Janet Bowers the OT will not be purchasing any clothing for my mother. What we are going to do is, when I find another seamstress, we will go through mom's clothing and have a few at a time adapted to suit all of our needs.
The nightgowns will be done according to the managers and my previous agreement on where it should be cut and sewn to. Cut up and seamed to 3 "from the top of the nightgown. As we agreed upon two months ago.
But when I mentioned that one of the staff members where calling or called the PGT she was very interested in that. Not to happy about this. I started to change the subject and all she wanted to do was get back to a staff member calling the PGT. So I let the manager read the email. After I informed her it was the PGT who let me know about this. Concerning mom gaining weight
After the manager read the PGT's email I proceeded to let her know that in January I discussed this with Kim and let her know, at the time, that I knew mom was gaining weight and I am going to do something about it. It will take time, she understands this.
The manager informed me that Janet will not be making any purchases of adaptive clothing. At which point I mentioned that it would not be in her best interest and that I would file a civil suit against her alone, not Fraser Health.
Okay, now for more about mom.
After I was done with the manager I saw mom by the window looking out and she seemed like she was enjoying the view. Beautiful day, finally. Big smile on her face. We went back to her room and did the usual thing, drinks a small snack before dinner and then dinner. Mom has cut down on the amount of what she is eating. I have noticed this. I have also reduced the size of the portions I bring her. I do feel guilty about this. I want mom to eat as much as she wants. But that is not a good idea. That won't keep her healthy.
Afterwards she was looking forward to the spa treatment and me singing to her. She holds my hand and I sing along with the music playing. Soft jazz. And we both know the lyrics to the songs.
I just love it that when I leave mom is so completely relaxed it almost puts me to sleep. After I pack up I always stay for awhile, just holding her hand. She won't go to sleep until I sing our good night song to her. She waits. When she is really tired I sing it to her early.
Well I am extremely tired. The stress from this over the weekend, writing to all these people, coupled with me not getting much sleep has made me extremely tired today.
I still need to deal with the PGT and this new case manager. The regional manager still has not returned my call. I will try again tomorrow morning.
I NEED TO LIVE IN WHITE ROCK. PLEASE PRAY FOR MOM AND I. THANK YOU.
It benefits mom more than me. Okay as much. I would get to spend more time with her. That is all I want. To be there more often.
GOD bless and good night
