Hello again
Today I arrived to see mom and she is still not the same as she was earlier this week. You see, Wednesday, when I arrived, mom was not well. I had her blood pressure tested and 30 points lower than normal. Not good. The next day it was back to normal. But what ever caused it to drop like that had already taken it's toll on her, Mom is extremely tried and when I gave her the first drink of the day, she could not swallow it. It just came out of her mouth. She did manage to drink better as the evening went on, but still.
Overly tired. She has been eating. With a little coaxing, Most of her meal anyways. So it is bath day tomorrow, and Sunday if she is not the same. Well I mean, tomorrow if she is not the same, Sunday I will come really early and take her to emergency.
I don't even get it. She was not well and no one noticed it. And it was myself who had to ask to have her blood pressure taken.
I noticed the difference the moment I walked into the place. This is the kind of none care she gets.
Now mom is not well, I don't have the groceries, that I had. Before the power outage. Mom needs certain things. Healthy things. I just don;t have the funds for this.
I asked KB of the PGT PGT PGT PGT for help to replace said items. But she, KB of the PGT just doesn't give a crap about anyone but herself. I am sure, if her power was out and needed to throw things away. She would be right at it, going and replacing it.
MY MOTHER'S HEALTH DOES NOT MATTER TO KB OF THE PGT. NOR DOES ANYTHING ELSE.
I have even phone her manager, left a message. Of course no response.
Time for me to go now.
Last day of my fast and nothing to eat tomorrow. The fridge is empty.
GOD bless and good night

Almost the end of the week.
Hello again
Today mom was better, but still tired. She did eat, very slowly. I also had to encourage her to swallow. I forgot to ask how her eating was today. I will be doing that first thing tomorrow. I will call them.
But today, mom did watch the news and part of another show, before putting the music on and getting her into bed. By this time she was ready for bed.
And it was her full spa treatment tonight. I had not been doing her legs for the last few days. But they get dry. So they needed to have lotion put on them.
After this, I just stayed and held her hand until she was completely asleep. So I just got home not very long ago. 11 pm and turned the computer on and started writing. Now I am getting cold. Weird.
:Let us not forget, the music was playing I was singing to her. She clutched my hand tightly and brought it close to her and held on. This I just love dearly. It brings warmth to my soul.
So I have written that we had a storm and I was without power for 2 and 1/2 days. At the end of this I needed to clean out my fridge. I don't get allot of money each month, so I tend to eat very little. But I had allot of things in the fridge for mom, as well as in the freezer. Throughout the month, if I find something on sale and I have the funds I will get it and freeze it. I make sauce for mom and freeze some, I had 3 kilo's of strawberries in the freezer, 1 kilo of blueberries and a kilo of cherries. Well all turned to mush. I also had 4 containers of sauce, 2 kilo's of ground beef and a kilo of ground chicken in the freezer. All of which needed to be thrown out. I was buying these things over the last few weeks.
Everything was for mom's dinners and smoothies.
When it comes to things for mom, no matter what my situation is, if it is for mom, I don't touch it. Period. Never have and never will.
I make no bones about it, that I receive a certain amount of funds each week to get mom fruit, drinks chocolate and items to make her dinners with. Provided there is extra from each weeks funds. I try to make things last. I buy certain things one week and other items the next week.
So I needed to throw it all out. Gone bad. Especially meat and the fruit.
Since mom's funds are tied up with the PGT, PGT PGT PGT PGT PGT, and they needed replacement, I thought I would contact the case manager. KB for assistance, since hundreds of thousand of people had to throw things out. But I don't have the funds to replace anything. I am on a tight budget.
Well KB in her shameless way has said to me, that I need to use the weekly funds to replace every thing that needed to be thrown out. It is not an emergency KB of the PGT tells me. Not an emergency Where the hell am I suppose to come up with this money. . I don't have it. So now mom has to go without certain things and might have to for awhile. Thanks to the shamelessness of KB of the PGT, She then tells me that Hydro has something on their web site. Which was not true. I knew this before she filled me full of.......
I bet she was out refilling her fridge and freezer. KB of the PGT. That is if she lost power and needed to throw food out. Damn straight she was KB of the PGT
Shame on you. That is shameless of you.
I do what I can and I go without. I will have to go without for awhile now. As I don't have the funds to replace anything of mine. But I am not worried about this. My last day of my fast is tomorrow and I won't be able to eat anything much for many days, until my stomach gets use to food again.
But mom needs these things.
KB of the PGT tells me it is not an emergency. The home provides everything for her. I keep telling her to try and live on what they provide. And they don't provide fruit or smoothies, or chocolate or snacks or the drinks she likes. No that is up to the children to provide. And remember, KB of the PGT tells me to use, what little is provided each week to replace everything all at once. Not helping in anyway at all.
Like she did with a manual that is needed to fight the rank and file of Fraser Health. Not needed she tells me. Or the fact that the staff continue to tear mom's clothing and nothing done about it.
I say instead of continuing to pay a seamstress, I would get a sewing machine and do it myself. Might take longer at first, but I know how to sew. Guess what she has said................
This women KB of the PGT is constantly making threats to me, She, KB is always trying to belittle me. By saying things like, For those of us that work.
I work, I even told her that she doesn't even have the personality to do what I do. Not a chance. could she KB, even do what I do. I know this for a fact. I take care of an ailing mother. This is not easy.... I am there every single day, without fail. And have been for many, many years. More than anyone else.
Now mom needs her items replaced right away but KB doesn't think she needs these things. She doesn't need her daily smoothie, that mom has had for years. Or her daily chocolate that she has had e everyday for years, or the fruit she gets. I can only do so much with so little
This blog will cause KB to make even more threats against me. I know it will, she is that type of person.
The worse part is, that if I write an email to her, she will answer me on Friday, after the office is closed. That is what type of person she is. KB of the PGT,PGT and the PGT
Shame on you,
I am going to go now.
GOD bless and good night

Well OK
Hello again
It is going to be quick tonight.
So yesterday, when I arrived at mom's she was not doing well at all. She was extremely tired and none responsive. Just wouldn't look at me or want to even move. So I had her put to bed right away. Before dinner. I did have a dinner for her. She did drink a bit, and ate her dinner, most of it anyways. But very slowly, but still not even looking my way or concerned about anything. But I got her to eat some fruit.
At least she ate and had dessert. The fruit that is. But didn't even keep her eye's open at all. Afterwards I just quickly did the dishes and just washed mom's face and arms. This she did not even want done.... But did it anyways.
And afterwards I just held her hand. She fell asleep, but didn't want to let go of my hand.
Before putting her to bed, I asked to have her blood pressure taken. And I waited for this. But I stayed until mom was fully asleep and longer. I didn't care what time it was I got home. I stayed until I was sue mom was OK.
Her blood pressure was low yesterday, but back to normal today. But mom was still tired. She did eat a little more this evening. I manged to wash her hair. She was asleep before I even finished with drying it.
Got her into bed, washed her face and arms again. And just held her hand.. I, again, stayed longer. But when I was trying to leave mom was shaking her head for me not to leave and holding on tightly. But I needed to leave.
It bugs me that I am out here. What if something happens in the middle of the night. I am screwed. I could not even get there.
When I got back last night the first thing I did was to call the home and check up on mom. She was fine. Well fine enough I guess.
I need to go now..
GOD bless and good night.

What a weekend
Hello again
This past weekend we, in Vancouver, had a major storm. Which left over a half a million people without power. Including myself. It went out Saturday at 1 pm and did not come back on until this morning at 9 am. I did not have much time on the battery of my laptop or phone so I used it to entertain myself. It was dark, just the one flash light, So I watch shows on my laptop until the battery died, then a movies on my phone.
It took me over 4 hours to get to mom's on Saturday and the same amount of time to get back home. And Sunday was the same thing.
So on Sunday I brought every chargeable thing. Laptop, phone, external charger, to my mom's place and charged everything up. No power, no anything. Needed to keep myself entertained or I would not be able to handle it.
Today I needed to clean out the fridge, and throw things away from the fridge and freezer. Mom's food items which I make her smoothies from and dinner's. It was fortunate I had everything for the salad mom likes. Which was a good thing. This I made for mom. Everything was fresh the night before the power went out. The fridge was cold enough to make the salad last through until today. So mom had this amazing salad Sunday and today. She has had enough of it for a little while now. Two large bowls of it.
There was no power outages where mom is. It is on Hospital grounds. So this can't happen.
Of course Saturday being bath day for mom, she was in bed, as usual. And it is breakfast in bed day. Which I made her a pizza omelet. And did mom ever enjoy this. Then I needed to change her sheets. Mom is in bed while I do this. So it is sometimes difficult. But I have it down pat, I don't even have to roll mom now.
And of course the spa treatment. After her bath they never put on any lotion. Well I don't leave it there,as it will go missing, as it always has. And of course the home is never responsible for this. Deny, deny. Not our fault. It wasn't us.
I digress.
Mom has been in a good mood the last few days. Except today, she was shedding some tears. I think she feels that if she wasn't around I wouldn't have to go through this. As I explained to her, I will walk the ends of the earth to take care of her. It doesn't matter how long it takes for me to travel. I am there and glad to be there. I don't care what it takes I will never miss a day. I will always be there to take care of her. This what I do. Yes I work and I work taking care of my mother.
Anyways, since the power is finally on, I have had many emails I needed to respond to, and other things I needed to do online. It is getting late.
Oh yea day 9 of my fast and it is really starting to affect me. Loosing weight. Dizzy all the things that happen when doesn't eat. Oh well. I did it to see if a miracle would happen and yea, nothing.
And I deleted my campaign to help me purchase hearing aids. Why bother keeping it up, when it was up for over a month and nothing. I guess it is OK for me to not hear and go deaf. That mom doesn't need me to hear to fight for her rights. It is a good thing I can read lips.
I am not deaf, I just need hearing aids to hear the low tones. And people speaking to me at a distance. But none the less I need them. I will still fight for mom.
I guess I should say GOD bless and goodnight
