Hello again
Yes the smoke still surrounds us. But not as thick. Yet still enough that I am keeping mom's window closed. Air quality warning still in effect
Yes, I was mistaken in my last blog. It is not worse than Beijing. It is on par with there average day. 100 mlp T is up. I did, however, mention that we need to have a sit down and discuss this. That I will come out there early.
We also spoke about the clothing being torn. And of course the answer is. Wait for it. I will look into it. I am sure all of you knew that was going to be the answer.
Well mom was thirsty as usual. And very happy to see me. The big smile of hers.
But, again, she was having a hard time with swallowing. She is tried and just chews and chews the food. I arrive early so we could start dinner early, before anyone else received there dinner. But it was the same. It took longer to eat her meal this evening. I even cut it up into small pieces. Being Wednesday, I tried to arrive early so we could finish early. To go and wash her hair. We did and mom was so relaxed afterwards. Ready to sleep But we were late getting done.
The care aid new this, as she was outside the tub room when mom and I finished so she gave us some extra time for me to change mom.
I guess I will have to get there even earlier. To give mom plenty of time to eat. That is all I can do. I do ask her to swallow, but I don't like to do that. It makes me feel I am being pushy.
Now when we got into the room, the roommate was there and the TV's volume was 75. I, again needed to ask her to turn it down. She just doesn't give a...... As yesterday I asked her to do this and she said to me, no one was in the room, so it doesn't matter.
And when I left tonight, she immediately turn the TV up. I was right outside the door. Went back in and told her that mom is sleeping and the TV has to be turned down. Then it was right to the nurse to let her know.
Now she doesn't want to go to the dinning hall to eat. I get it, but now mom's privacy is ruined. So we either stay in the room and I have to continuously ask the roommate to turn down the TV or we go elsewhere to eat. That is not going to happen..
And this women spilled coffee on mom today. Really.See where this is going.................
Not the right roommate. Going to speaking with the manager tomorrow and letting her know this is the complaint I am to file.
I need to finish now. I have been writing and sending email. Checking out prices for hearing aids. My hearing is getting worse. I still need hearing aids.
Oh well, that is this one's persons life.
GOD bless and good night
