Hello again
Today was a very hot day and beautiful, Yet I am waiting for fall and the rain to come. I miss it. It has been a long and hot year.
Now I arrived to find mom off in the corner by herself. Not even looking out of the window. Sure she can't speak, so does this mean she has to be isolated as well. Bull Shit I say. I will be addressing this issue tomorrow.
Anyways mom was feeling better today, a bigger smile on her face. Very happy to see me. But I can see that she is not 100% yet. This cold is going around.
I arrived early and so we got to her room early and started dinner early. It was over 1/2 hour until the served dinner arrived and it was wrong. This is the second time in a week that mom's served dinner was wrong. Well mom just had what I brought. She liked it and by the time the served dinner came, mom was full.
It was quickly getting her changed and then we had lots of time to sit and listen to music before the care aid came in to put mom to bed and change her.
I was sitting beside mom. Mom had a blanket on and was holding my hand. She pulled my hand up to her chin and just went to sleep. And because of the warmth, I started to fall asleep as well. And the care aid startled me when she came in.
We got mom into bed and changed. Mom was not happy about being awaken, but happy about getting changed.
Then of course it was her spa treatment time. This is especially good when mom is not feeling well. It relaxes her. But mom always looks forward to the neck massage. This relaxes her left arm and by the time I am finished she is able to move her left arm more.
I had to go and do the dishes. I avoided everyone, to get them done quickly and get back to my visit with mom. She was a little upset that it took me to long to get them done. I was back as soon as could. And then I needed to hunt down the nurse to give mom her nightly medication. And after I just held her hand for another half hour and packed up. At this point mom just wanted the lights out, TV off and the music turned down a bit.
You see, I watch the TV with the volume off while I am standing there holding mom's hand, while she falls asleep.
I sang our good night song to her, she sung along with me and I left.
It is only a week until my mothers Birthday and I ask again if you could send her Birthday wishes from where ever you may be. A photo of your country/City or of your yard.
It is her 87 th Birthday.
Her name is Mary-Rose
This would mean so much to her. This is for my mother. I would love to show her photo's and Birthday wishes from around the world.
It is October 12, Her Birthday.
Mom would love this.
I do thank you for considering it. She is a women who was strong all of her life, raised us kids. And now she is completely dependent on everyone for everything. She can't even scratch her head. I do this for her everyday. She can't grab and hold onto anything.
So please help me out here.
Please send everything to mylastnameis@outlook.com
Thank you
GOD bless and good night
