Hello again
It was fairly warm in White Rock tonight when I left and cold in Coquitlam when I got back. I had to stop and get mom some of her drinks. While they were on sale. And waiting for the bus afterwards was not fun. Others went back into the store to keep warm. The bus stop was right in front of the store. I was not impressed.
So, being Saturday, it was bath day for mom. It does bother me that she is in bed all day long. With just the radio on, no TV. That would of not made a difference as she can't see the TV anyways. There is padding on the rails and they can't find it in them to move her bed so she could see the TV.
A whole lot of brilliant people who work there. Really!
Well I fixed that. I removed one of the paddings and adjusted her bed so mom could see the TV. After I turned it on, of course. A big smile.
And, being hot, I gave mom as much to drink as she wanted. Thirsty today. Gave her a small snack before dinner. I went and warmed her dinner up. Then started to feed her. We were almost done with dinner, when they brought the served dinner to her. No thanks.
Now for awhile there, they were changing mom's sheets on Saturday. But not anymore. I am getting very good at changing the sheets while mom is in bed. I don't move her around much. Done. Fresh sheets, pillow cases. Put a nightly on her and undershirt. Mom was very relaxed by this point. With a big smile on her face.
I had to ring for the girl to come in and change mom's diaper. Casuals just don't read what is written down. This was done and then the best part of mom's night. The spa treatment. I know she looks forward to this everyday. Lotions, a massage of her feet and neck/shoulders.
I have started to give mom the spa treatment from the feet/legs upwards now. I use to start on her face. I just decided that by the time I get to her face and finish mom is now ready to sleep.
And she was. I couldn't stay as long as I wanted, because of needing to stop for her drinks. knowing I would have to wait 20 minutes for this bus. Needed to go.
I will stay later tomorrow night. I have nothing to do on my way back.
Well I am tired. So I am going to just relax and watch something. I am not even hungry tonight.
Because of my Parkinson's my right arm is getting tired easily lately. And today, I just couldn't keep things in my hands. Everything would just drop.
I need to go back to the Doctor and find out what is going on. I want to draw again. I want to learn to play the piano.
We'll see.
GOD bless and good night to all.
