Hello again
Well it is hot outside. We have temperatures now that we don't usually get until the end of July. And we are set to break records this weekend. That is how hot it is..... For the beginning of summer I am already tanned. I am not lying in the sun. It is just from traveling to and from White Rock. I have to wait for the different buses. And 1/2 hour in the sun gets me dark. Especially everyday. I have a farmers tan
Now I set my mothers fan up the other day and the base is broken. It is a tower fan and without the base it is useless. The air conditioner does not work properly. What one does, really!
Now I need to buy her a new one this weekend. As the rest of our summer is going to be a hot one. It is still 26 c in Coquitlam, were I stay, at the moment.
When I arrived mom was extremely thirsty. All of her drinks were in my bag or in the fridge. I just had some ice water handy.
So I gave her the ice water and rushed to her room to give her the rest of her drinks.
She was happy after that, and it was dinner time. Tonight mom was as slow as usual, but I have learned to be more patient with this. Just let her chew and swallow at her own pace. I felt better about this tonight. Mom finished in time for us to wash her hair and style it. Even though her hair dryer sparked and died the other day. We had to use the homes hair dryer. Mom does not like this, It is to noisy for her. The one we had was nice and quiet.
Then it was changing her and waiting for the staff to come in, to put her to bed. This was done, I did her spa treatment and some simple exercises on her legs.Bending them. All the while I was singing to mom and I could see and hear her singing along as well.
I am goofy with my mother. I like to see her smile. To laugh. To sing. And if it takes me to be goofy than so be it. I love it.
It takes so long to pack up. I really dislike it. And everything is getting heavier. I think it has to do with having Parkinson's. My muscle are getting weaker. Soon I won't be able to carry these things. Not for awhile though. It is just the beginning stages of the disease. This could last the rest of my life or I could get worse. So maybe it is just plain to heavy to carry. I think it is the latter.
I packed up so I could spend time just holding mom's hand while she fell asleep, with me singing to her.
I made it back in good time tonight. Well 2 1/2 hours instead of three.
Before I go on the other day, I was drinking a leftover coke of mom's. ( I take the one's home each night and bring her a new one each day. I drink what is leftover) And I took a big drink of it, Well I ended up with this 2" piece of rubber in my mouth. That was the shape of a capsule. It was in the bottom of the bottle. I immediately called coke and told them of this. It didn't take very long for someone higher up than the person I was speaking with, to call me back. She proceeded to tell me about there stringent practices and what the bottles go through before they are filled and what they go through after they are filled. She then told me that sometimes people get their capsules into the bottles without them even knowing about it.That it could not of come from them. But they sent me a box to ship the product back to them for testing. She said I should try an experiment. Put one of my capsules into a glass of water and see if it grows to that size. Well I did that and it has been three days and it is still not the size of the of the item found in the bottle of coke. I called to let them know that. I have the coke bottle with the stuff in it. But once it hit air, it has been dissolving Doesn't look like anything anymore. I think I need to call someone closer to home. .
Okay one more thing. There is this women whom I have been texting, I miss her.
GOD bless and good night
