Hello again
It was hot today. So hot I was sweating on the bus. I don't normally sweat on the bus. Maybe because I was in so much pain today. My arm and hand not working well. I have had this ankle and foot problem for the last two months. Extreme pain. Hard to walk on. But I continue, as mom needs me to be there for her.
Now that the meeting went well. There are more things that need to be done. I have to get this manual. But I can't afford to print it out. It would use up all my ink. And I don't have the funds to buy it from them. A seniors advocacy group. It is a manual on residential laws in care home. I really need this to proceed to the next phase in this situation. It is only $35.00. That may not seem like allot to all of you. But when one can't even afford to eat, yes no groceries and no way to buy them. I also have these weird food allergies, So no canned foods. Flour and preservatives. Anything with flour in it I just can 't tolerate. Which means I can't even go to the food bank.
I just need this manual. Who care if I eat or not. I certainly don't.
Mom was dressed appropriately today. Not like yesterday, with a sweater on. She had a nice polo shirt on and cotton pants. She really didn't need socks on. I have a bias to socks. I don't like to wear them at all in the summer. Makes my feet hot, and in turn, makes me hot.
As usual, mom was very thirsty. Again, I don't think she gets anything to drink all afternoon. By the amount she drinks when I get there.
I quickly got her to her room, turned the fan on, and gave mom as much to drink as she wanted. Which was allot today.
An OK dinner. As I don't have anything. But a little funds to get mom fruit, drinks and dinner's. This I have to put aside for her. So I am use to going without. No problems. Mom needs to have at least one meal a day that is not the institutional food, she gets at the other meals.
And as soon as we finished dinner, off we went to wash her hair. Scratch her scalp while washing it. Relaxing her completely.
Then to bed. I got the stereo working properly again. After the remote stopped working. And it sounded great. Mom just loved the sound today. She kept wanting me to turn it up. I kept asking if it was loud enough or to loud. Mom just smiled and shook her head NO.
I stood with her, after a complete sap treatment tonight. I sang. I needed to sing louder, as the stereo was turned up. But she still liked it anyways. OK I have a loud voice that I normally don't sing with. It is booming. We call it my loud singing voice. Really.
I was there until after 8 tonight. I didn't even realized it. Mom was awake and enjoying her music with me.
I had to pack yet. And off I went. For leaving so late. I didn't get home that much later tonight. Weird. Usually when I leave at that time it is really late when I get home.
Now I have a plan for the next stage of my complaint with the home. I need that manual. And I need to hear.
I was washing mom's dishes and there were two people standing behind me, having a conversation. Which I heard nothing of. Then one of them taped me on the shoulder. I turned around, only to find out they were speaking to me. I just said I didn't even hear you. At all. Nothing.
This needs to be solved if I am to accomplish my goal with the complaint. I need to be able to hear.
So once again. I ask for your help with my fund raising campaign. To purchase hearing aids. I NEED YOUR HELP. And prayers
