Starting to feel better

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.

Mom is sick

Hello again

The last few days mom has been not feeling well. The other day her nose was just pouring, wouldn't stop until I put Vicks on her.

Then today, mom  was in bed and no one knew why. Well except for me. Mom is sick. It is a funny thing, mom never got sick until the doctor started to put her on certain medication. Which I stopped both as soon as I knew she was put on these. Since then her immune system has suffered.

And now the proof. Upset stomach and hot and cold. I mentioned this to the nurse the other day, they told me they would keep and eye on her. The next day they tell me mom's nose has not run at all. I simple stated that she is sick.

Why is it that they just don't believe I know when my mother is not feeling well and actually sick. Then today mom did not eat much at all. She didn't even eat her papaya. She just had a few mouths full and that was it. Not even the apple pie, I made for her. Not well. I always keep an eye out for any changes in mom. Even slight changes.

So they may now believe me that mom is sick. Because of certain things. Wouldn't someone who is there all the time and knows her extremely well not know what is going on with their mother. I would think so.

I just kept her warm, held her hand. Just gave mom a quick spa treatment tonight.

By the time I gave her something to drink, for her last drinks from me each night. Mom was out cold. Even with the nurse coming in and me turning on the light to show her how to operate the stereo. This did not even wake her up.

Yet she knew when I sang to her and then her smile as I finished. Just beautiful

This past week I have been dealing with the PGT My own way. There is more to do and more paperwork to file on them.

They just don't get it. They will not be taking advice from my mother's pot head daughter. Never going to happen. If I have to go to the media and let them know that the PGT is listening to a pot head and a suppressed women, over someone who is actually there every single day and knows what is going on down to the tiniest detail.  I think they might find this interesting.

Enjoy each moment you have with one another, for it is these precious moments that actually matter the most in life, To take care of the ones you love brings our world closer together Bringing that bond which makes our lives better.

I need to go and get some rest myself. I have been kept up at night. The upstairs person has this heater that is just loud and has waken me up through-out the night for the last 4 nights. I finally went upstairs today and brought this up with him.

Maybe tonight I will get to sleep straight through the night


Pleas pray for mom

GOD bless and goodnight.

To touch our soul
