Hello again
I awoke this morning thinking that mom was going to be in bed when I get there. What do you know, she was. Apparently mom got sick this morning. So they kept her in bed all day long, having to listen to the roommates TV at extreme volume level. Mom's TV was on and her radio. The radios volume was to low to hear as well as her TV. She can't even see the TV because they don't move the bed for her to see or remove the pad on the bed railing. So as I said she had to listen to the roommates TV, that is turned way up.
This is the problem, the roommate doesn't give a crap. And Al Hogg has effectively stopped me from being able to take any kind of action. By not following the law when it comes to Substitute decision makers. They have my sisters as the people to go to. Even though there is no Commintee of person in place or a Representation Agreement and again, if there is none of these in place it falls on the substitute decision maker.
Now I need to fight for this. It is sexist. Because I am a man.
Now do you think, because mom got sick, they would hydrate her today. Give her something to drink through out the day. NO. This did not happen. And mom was extremely thirsty when I arrived.
So I gave her as much to drink as she wanted.
Now being in bed today, I was not able to wash her hair. Lucky she is been given a bath tomorrow. But the same will be true. Having to listen to the roommates TV. Even if they have mom's TV on.
I gave mom plenty of time to eat dinner this evening. I brought her fish. But this seemed to be hard for her to chew today. So I fed her the served meal. Plus the other items I brought her.
Since she was in bed, I started mom's spa treatment right away. I mean after I rinsed the sheets and everything else that mom got sick on.. I was able to do most of her spa treatment before the care aid came in. So we finished very early.
I wasn't going to leave. Nothing here for me, in Coquitlam. So I stayed and held her hand and sang to her. My voice is a little horse now. It is OK.
The manager did not even speak to me today. So it was a waste of my time speaking with her yesterday. And the other day. Nothing is being done, no appointment is being set. And so on and so forth.
I will now have to speak to someone above the manager. Since I can't file any complaints. The MP or MLA or even Pivot legal services. I will scream sexism, very loud. Other wise why do they still have my sisters names down.
If I can get a lawyer on board, I will file a law suit against any and all of them and Fraser Health.
Time for me to go now. I am getting extremely pissed off.
GOD bless and good night
Please pray or assist us

The sky is still smoky
Hello again
Yes the smoke still surrounds us. But not as thick. Yet still enough that I am keeping mom's window closed. Air quality warning still in effect
Yes, I was mistaken in my last blog. It is not worse than Beijing. It is on par with there average day. 100 mlp T is up. I did, however, mention that we need to have a sit down and discuss this. That I will come out there early.
We also spoke about the clothing being torn. And of course the answer is. Wait for it. I will look into it. I am sure all of you knew that was going to be the answer.
Well mom was thirsty as usual. And very happy to see me. The big smile of hers.
But, again, she was having a hard time with swallowing. She is tried and just chews and chews the food. I arrive early so we could start dinner early, before anyone else received there dinner. But it was the same. It took longer to eat her meal this evening. I even cut it up into small pieces. Being Wednesday, I tried to arrive early so we could finish early. To go and wash her hair. We did and mom was so relaxed afterwards. Ready to sleep But we were late getting done.
The care aid new this, as she was outside the tub room when mom and I finished so she gave us some extra time for me to change mom.
I guess I will have to get there even earlier. To give mom plenty of time to eat. That is all I can do. I do ask her to swallow, but I don't like to do that. It makes me feel I am being pushy.
Now when we got into the room, the roommate was there and the TV's volume was 75. I, again needed to ask her to turn it down. She just doesn't give a...... As yesterday I asked her to do this and she said to me, no one was in the room, so it doesn't matter.
And when I left tonight, she immediately turn the TV up. I was right outside the door. Went back in and told her that mom is sleeping and the TV has to be turned down. Then it was right to the nurse to let her know.
Now she doesn't want to go to the dinning hall to eat. I get it, but now mom's privacy is ruined. So we either stay in the room and I have to continuously ask the roommate to turn down the TV or we go elsewhere to eat. That is not going to happen..
And this women spilled coffee on mom today. Really.See where this is going.................
Not the right roommate. Going to speaking with the manager tomorrow and letting her know this is the complaint I am to file.
I need to finish now. I have been writing and sending email. Checking out prices for hearing aids. My hearing is getting worse. I still need hearing aids.
Oh well, that is this one's persons life.
GOD bless and good night

The sun is blood orange
Hello again
Today, being the second day in a row, the Lower Mainland region is still blanketed in Grey Smoke. Hazy is one way to describe it. I wouldn't though. I would say surreal. A blood Orange sun, ash falling down upon us, Poor visibility, An irritant on the eye's. A burning sensation in one's nostrils.
Wait, I have seen several movies like this. Where the end is near.
The news tonight said the air quality was even worse than China. Double what a typical day would be there. A continuous camp fire smell. The sun is there, but you wouldn't know this today. It was only until this evening I noticed the colour of the sun, while it was setting. Erie
Anyways, I arrived to find mom in bed, She got sick this morning. I knew this going out there today. I don't know how. Just one of those weird things I can do.
And mom had to listen to the soaring volume of her roommates TV. They did not turn the TV on for mom, nor did they even put music on for her.
They must think that I won't do anything about it. As I can't file a complaint at the office that we are suppose to file at. They must of heard and think they can now get away with murder.
Not so, said the blind man. That is only one trick in my arsenal of tricks.
They, of course, removed the sheets and pillow cases. Do you think they would rinse them off. Of course not. This is the first thing I did when I went into mom's room. As soon as I did this, I gave mom as much to drink as she wanted. Then dinner. Sushi and two different types of crackers and cheese's . Along with her avocado, a light dinner for her upset stomach.
They did bring in the served dinner, but mom was not interested in it. She just shook her head, no. What I served her was so much healthier for her. And better tasting.
After it was the usual, The spa treatment and holding her hand while she fell asleep.
I am glad they closed her window after I called there last night. I don't want mom breathing any of this crap in.
I sang as much as I could today. It seems the roommate doesn't want to leave her room now.
Time to pull out the medium guns now.
I now have to stop writing. I have already written so many emails tonight that my arm is shaking like crazy. Remember Parkinson's.
GOD bless and good night

Vancouver is on Fire
Hello again
It is not on Fire, it just seems that way. There is a cloud of smoke that has come upon the region. Just up the coast from Vancouver there is a major forest fire. And the prevailing winds has blown the smoke our way.
It is an eye irritant, it is burning the nostrils. There is a haze over the entire Lower Mainland. Making everything hazy. A thick, Grey smoke. From where mom is I can see the mountains where I live. Today, no and no. You can't even see a couple of Km's. Even what is right in front of you is hazy.
The fire is not under control, so we have to expect this smoke for days to come. When I got home, I called mom's place and asked the nurse to close mom's window. I had left it open and this smoke is not very good for the residents, seniors or anyone, a matter of fact.
Even here, where I live, at the base of the mountain. It is hazy and smells as if the house is on fire. My window is open just a crack and I can smell it. I need it open as my room is extremely hot. Even with the fan on. It is no where near this hot, even on my patio. The fan is just blowing the hot air around.
Making for terrible sleeps.
Mom today was out in the dinning hall, sitting with the ladies. Even though mom does not speak, it is good for her to be around others who do. Even if it just to listen. Stimulates mom's mind. Keeps it active.
And she was very thirsty again. Don't they give them something to drink. They don't!
We went to her room. As the roommate was in the dinning hall as well, so we thought we would get a little bit of privacy. I warmed up her dinner. But we didn't even get to finish it when the roommate came back in and turned the TV on. It would be OK, if the volume wasn't up to 79. I had to stop feeding mom, get up and turn it down.
At the same time I could see mom giving this women her death stare. It is not a nice look. Mom raised her fist and was pointing it at this women. As soon as this women left the room, I asked mom if she liked this women or not. And she said, in a clear voice, NO.
Other than that, mom enjoys the music. I see her moving to the beat. Just as you and I would. I got her changed for bed. The care aid came in and we put her to bed, Changed her pad.
This nurse gives mom her nightly medication early, so it was done before I even had a chance to give mom her nightly spa treatment.
This was next. Mom just relaxed and let me do what was needed. She just closed her eye's and listened to the music while I gave her the nightly spa treatment.
After I finished I had time to just hold mom's hand and let her fall asleep.
I sang our good night song to her.
I packed up and left.
I need to go now.
Remember, I am going to need to hire a lawyer and need help. Please pray for mom and I that we find the funds to pay for the lawyer. I ask for your help with this as well.
GOD bless and good night
