Hello again
Yes you can feel the change in weather and it getting darker sooner. We are loosing 3 minutes a day. Getting dark at 8:30 pm. And the nights are much cooler. No need for a fan. Sure it is hot during the day, still, but not the same as it was a month ago.
So I rushed today so I could get out and take mom out for a bit before dinner. But when I arrived mom was very tired. Almost sleeping in her chair. Of course, no one to talk too. Or anyone talking to her.
I would love to get mom a computer with a touch screen. Specializing in someone who can't speak. Someone with strokes, that knows what they want to say, but can't speak. Something which mom just has to touch a certain window, with, like, I am hungry, Hello, I am thirsty, Bathroom, How are you. Are you getting what I am trying to say. I sure this type of thing is out there. Where to find it, that is the question.
Anyways. Mom was very tired, So I couldn't take her out. She just didn't want to go outside. I just took her to her room, gave her drinks, turned the TV on to our Sunday dinner show. And said to mom she could eat sleep. This is where she has her eye's closed while I feed her. And mom is OK with this. It has happened many times before. That is how much she trusts me. Completely. And that is cool. She didn't even want all of her dessert, except the papaya and her chocolates. That was it.
But after dinner, I quickly changed her and put a blanket over her, held her hand while we waited for the staff to come in and put her to bed. At this time I went and washed the dishes.
When I came back into her room, mom was almost asleep. I was only able to give mom a partial spa treatment. Just her face and arms. And mom fussed about doing her arms. So I stopped there. Just put the cosmetics away, except a few items I need to re-due after she got her nightly medication. We call it a touch up. Then it simply was just holding her hand.
I stayed longer again, I have nothing to come back too. So I stay.
Day 3 of my fast to see if there is a GOD and if He will answer my prayer. Hearing aids and getting closer to mom. I just can't do this anymore.
I travel this 180 km's everyday. And it is 4 years now that I have done this. I will keep doing this no matter what
I need to go now. More tea, this time a herbal tea for the night.
GOD bless and good night.
