Hello again
It has been a few days, maybe more since I last wrote to you. But here is the news. Not very good news, But new, none the less.
Last Friday, after complaining and telling the staff that something was wrong with mom, they finally did something about it. Well basically, it was when I threatened to take mom to Emergency, that they called the Doctor and something was started. I arrived last Friday, just in time, for mom to be wheeled off to have an x ray of her lungs. Then that day the Doctor ordered a urine sample. Mom was not feeling well. But mom did eat some dinner. It was on Saturday, that they found out mom has a bladder infection.
Hmmmm. I started telling them, at the beginning of the month that there was something wrong with mom. They just kept telling me that she doesn`t have a fever, her blood pressure is fine. I always repeat this. ``She doesn`t have to have a fever to be sick or something wrong with her.`` And here we are, mom has a bladder infection.
Sunday I was on my way out to see her and I get a phone call telling me that mom was not doing very well and this could be it for her. It could be. But it isn`t going to be.
She has a treatable infection. They put mom on a heavy dose of antibiotics. Intravenously As well as a saline solution. Which the Doctor ordered, to start with, a weeks worth of both
3 weeks after I started to tell them something was wrong with her.
Now they have her on a death watch. I ordered that her food be pureed, for now. So she can eat. They could not get her to take anything. I could and can. She ate for me, she drank lots of liquids for me. The nurses excuse me LPN`s came in tonight telling me that mom is on a pureed diet, that she had a swallowing test. Not to feed her the food, but give her the thickened juice. That is it.
This Janet, excuse me, The bitch, thinks she knows mom. Well the only person that actually knows my mother is myself. Not a single other person. Telling the staff to let me know not to feed her.
This Janet and my sisters are trying to kill my mother. Janet because she doesn`t give a crap. And my sisters, because the sooner she passes, the more money they will get.
I am very pissed off right now. As you may tell. But no one is going to kill my mother. They are going to feed her and that is that. Or I call the police. None of this starving my mother.
She will let me feed her, she will let me give her drinks. Mom will let me give her, her daily medicine. They tell me she won`t let us give her the medicine. Obviously they aren`t even trying
GOD bless and good night
I won`t be saying anything about this time of the year. Because there is not Christmas here.
NOTHING AT ALL IS HAPPENING FOR CHRISTMAS.
I know I won`t have anything, as usual. But I will wait until mom is better and I will make her a dinner.
