We had to replace the mattress on my mother's bed( I tested it out and it's sooooo soft and comfy now she'll never want to get out of bed, even more so than before!) and get all new linens( sheets, pillows,pillow cases, blanket and comforter) and my hubby got the comforter and said he decided by what was the cheapest and I got the blanket and went by which was the softest and I got the one shown here and you can't really tell by the photo(as it looks more like a pale pink) but it's actually a light/lilac purple and it's soooo soft I tried it out myself (as it's easier to nap here on the main floor bed than to go all the way up 3 flights of stairs to my bed and get all out of breath)and fell absolutely in love with it and decided to get one for my bed too, esp. since my old blanket is over 20 years old and no longer soft or warm. The last I heard she's supposed to be coming home this morning but I haven't had any updates so I guess maybe they'll just phone us and tell us when it's time to go pick her up? I'm nervous and actually "dread" her return, not only because it's been nice and peaceful with her not here but I also worry a repeat; that she'll pee and shit everywhere and stink up the house again and I can't do that again. I was on the brink of suicide and I can't go thru that again.At least with her home care we'll finally be getting something for all of the taxes we've been paying into all these years.
Yesterday my hubby and I visited her again but mostly me since he spent most of the time fiddling on his phone.As I was walking into her room I heard a nurse telling her she was "weird" too and I said to her(so she'd know that I heard her) We're ALL weird; we're a weird family! and I also brought chocolates for the staff, as sort of a "sorry" for having to put up with her(she seems to think it's a hotel), and I'm surprised actually as well that none of the other in-province kids never came to visit her, esp. since she's been in the hospital for 11 days, and never even bothered to at least send her flowers or even a card, and the staff haven't bothered to get her up and walking for days now,either; I bet just fed-up with her and can't wait to discharge her and dump her back on us and get rid of her.! They also finally delivered her commode yesterday and said they came and phoned the day before but "no one answered" even though I was here all day and when I went for my nap(and the others were out playing pickleball) I asked the 16 YR old to listen for the door...I even sat out on the front veranda for 30 minutes at the time they were supposed to deliver it,too,waiting for them!
This is also my mother's all-new bedset, and her bed got moved closer to the bathroom as well, and I finally get my CT scan in 2 weeks after waiting 3 months for it and it wouldn't really surprise me if they find my entire body's riddled with cancer at this point, and I tried the new Tim Hortons orange ginger drink too but it was gross and just tasted like ginger ale and I was hoping for more orange, and with my iris I was only expecting 3-4 blooms and I got over 12 so if you're content with little God blesses you with more, and I've never had a lasting bond like this with anyone before until Buddy,either, and our hearts beat as one. He is my best friend and soul mate and the only reason I still keep holding on and for living. God knew exactly what I needed.He literally saved my life and gave me a reason to keep going.
One thing I always do is survive.
