Going to be hot

Hello again

OK, very nice day. But mom was extremely tired when I arrived today. The TV is really starting to get to mom. And of course the manager was not in today or all week, for me to address this situation. Since it has been over a month since I brought it up.

And of course nothing. Maybe I have to get off of my lazy bottom and write the complaint department.

Mom was leaning over, head down. Not good. I got her drinks in her as quick, and fed her dinner. A nice chicken wrap. But because she was so tired, it was hard for her to chew. So Mom ate the served, beef dinner.. Which she ate all of it. Then I quickly changed her for bed. And sat with her, while we waited for the care aid to come in. Mom fell asleep, while holding my hand, waiting for the care aid to come in to put her to bed.

At which point I went and did the dishes. And made more tea. When I got back to the room. Mom was falling asleep again. Before I had a chance to give her the nightly spa treatment. But she wasn't going not have it done. I asked and she smiled and nodded yes. I knew she would. Even if mom is falling asleep. She still wants to have me give her the nightly spa treatment.

And when I was done. So was she. I mean she was asleep. I just packed up and held her hand for a bit. I sang our good night song to her. Still asleep, but she did smile as I kissed her good night.

It is going to be very hot this weekend here in the lower mainland. 30 plus, in some places. To hot for us. We like it when it is no more than 26 or 27.

I get to get some more colour than.

I will take mom out. Cover her in sun screen, put a hat on her, plus sun glasses. And off we go.

It will be later in the afternoon that I do this. Not during the hot peak.

I am hungry, and need to eat my dinner.

Got to go.

GOD bless and good night.

A little rain

Hello again

Just a little rain today. It was suppose to pour. Not so. I was wanting it to do that. I do love the rain. And we need it. May was the driest on record..

Now mom was all smiles when I arrive today. I love her smile. It fills up the room.  It is a shame she is so isolated. They just don't get it. Put her around people who are speaking. Even if she can't, she is still able to listen.

I am not fast enough, getting mom her drinks when I arrive. I try, still not fast enough for her liking. At least I try.

It was a normal day for Mary. I fed her and then her spa treatment. The care aid came in early, allowing for me to just be there for her. Just holding her hand and not being rushed. She went to sleep in a relaxed mood, with a big smile on her face.

I love this, when she falls asleep in such a relaxed state, with that smile on her face.

And for me. I am trying to deal with the shaking arm and hand. And the loss of hearing. Still trying to find a place in White Rock. I thought I could get this place, but no, not old enough. funny. Even with a disability. No and no.

I just ask for things to change.

I need it to change, mom needs me to be out there, closer to her.

GOD bless and good night.

Well another Sunday

Hello again

I arrived to find mom extremely tired. Almost asleep in the dinning hall. And very thirsty. I got her drinks out of the fridge as quick as possible. Down to her room we went. And got her drinking right away. Of course I am not fast enough. I try. She smiles and laughs. And then warmed up dinner. I guess they don't feed her their. As she ate a very large portion of Taco Bake. Nothing left over. And as quick as I got her ready for bed and sat and waited for the staff to come in and put her to bed. Mom was asleep.

She pretty much slept through the staff changing her. And she wanted, but didn't want, her spa treatment. I only did her face and arms. As quick as I could. Mom was a little bit grumpy about this. She just wanted to sleep. And then she did.

The staff are still tearing mom's nightgowns and clothing. . What is it going to take. I know. It is going to take one person to be fired for the rest of the staff to realize you just don't do that. YOu have respect for other's property.

Just pure lazy. And that is it. I even said this. I am not afraid of saying anything. I only speak the truth.

If they won't fire someone. I will get it done for them. I am tried of the same old nonsense. It is going to change. I am at that point where I am not going to take anything anymore and will react.

I doesn't matter what others think. This needs to be done, but not for just my mother. But for the future. If someone is fired, maybe they will think twice before they wreck others personal property.

I am more than willing to teach someone a lesson. GOD knows I have been taught enough of them.

Say what one will, but the truth is hard to accept. And essecially staff that think they can get away with everything. And thinking they are above the law.

I can do what I want and my union will protect me. Guess what. I have your unions numbers and contact persons name.

I am done before I get really upset.

GOD bless and good night.
