Hello again
Well mom is finally feeling better. She ate allot more today. So that is a good sign. It is very weird, she had the flu shot and then got sick, with the flu,.....
Last night we had to put her to bed before dinner because of an accident, she was Ok with this. I just fed her in bed. But we were not able to wash and style her hair. As it is every Wednesday. Not either today, The tub room was busy after dinner.
It is crazy windy and raining here in the Lower Mainland. A typical fall, back to being the wet coast.
Now I got mom to bed early tonight and gave her a very good spa treatment and had extra time to massage her neck and shoulder. This helps to loosen her left arm.
I do need to speak to the management again, it is the staff who are causing the extra pain mom is having with her left arm. I explained to them how she needs to be dressed and undressed, Do you think they listen. Well you know the answer to that.
They pull her left arm over her head to dress her, I have seen it with the night staff. And stopped them in there tracks. They pull mom`s left arm over her head to dress her. I have mentioned that they should not be doing this and to put her clothing on left arm first and to take it off right arm first. Not to pull this over her head.
It is called abuse. By continuing to do the same thing, causing pain to my mother. Thinking they know better.
They only have to take an 8 month course and that is it. They are taught a certain way and they stick to this way. They don`t even bother with researching newer approaches to care.
And I don`t care what anyone thinks I know more about this then they do and I cold easily do the job of an LPN. I am a research junkie. And have read more on this subject than all of them combined. It has been over 12 years now, since I have been doing this.
Sure I am bragging, but I need to. As no one else will do this for me. Being alone and all. Yes I said alone. It is that time of the year when everyone is talking about family. I have no family, except for mom.
I am starting to decorate her room. I have been playing Christmas music for her already, and singing away. Acting goofy. Mom is joining me in singing the songs. I just love it. It is making her very happy.
At least someone is trying to make mom happy. This is my job and I am thankful that I get to do this for mom.
Hands down this is the best thing I have done in my life. And would never trade this for any amount of money.
I am doing what GOD tells me to do. Honour your mother and father. Show them the respect they deserve.
GOD bless and good night.

It is getting harder for me to keep carrying everything that I do. It is hurting my back. For the last two weeks I have had a very sore back.
Please pray that I find a place right away. I just wish to spend as much time with mom as I can. No, mom is healthy and doing well. So don`t worry.
Thanks for your prayers.
