Re: Update on My Mom Cheryl caught in a nightmare..

[Guest guest]

Wow, so sorry to hear that you must be freaking out! Let me tell u though

I am the scardiest of scared to fly. My daughter and only g.children live in Ca.

I drove across country with my husband for both births. But last winter for

unexpected reason had to fly home. I panicked, and thought I could not do it. I

had flown way back. As I use to live out there. Anyway let me tell you, I don't

know where you live or are flying from I am in Maine, and it is a long flight,

but I went Jet Blue and have been sold! they have put my fear at ease. Since I

have flown out there x2 will not go any other airline though, and even was ok

with the stop on the way, I hate that. Now I do take dramamine, and have

diazapam on hand just in case I get panicked once on runway, I hate take off.

The first has worked usually by runway I am just about asleep and probably

drooling! Now for your mom. I would kick that son of a gun lazy aide right in

her a--! I am tired of these family's

having this happen. I know, I have been a caregier all my life, I have picked

up the peices of many a person like her, NO ONE should get hurt, while under the

care of someone who is suppose to be there to care for them unless it is

unpreventable! Last winter while I spent it out there in Ca. NOV-March awaiting

my g.childs birth, I took on a job ending up being from 8a-730p once I got the

woman washed up after dinner, ready and in bed safe and asleep. This woman

lived in a Alzhimer unit of a gorgeous looking new facility! Her family was

paying them for a private room, which her care was suppose to be part of it,

they sought outside help once they caught there dear mother on the floor in her

room , bathroom, or hallway not knowing how long she had been therel luckily

she had never broke her hip but had been badly bruised. While I took care, of

all this woman's needs, it maddened me every day that I had to be there, that

the family had to pay them and me, and I watched

almost every aide during meal time stuff there faces, talk about last night,

how much they drank, fights with boyfriends, etc etc. I also watched the other

patients sit in front of there meals while this went on not eating at all

because they had no clue what to do, try and eat but miss each time and give up,

and I saved a woman I don't know how many times from tearing the skin right off

her leg while falling through the leg rests on her wheel chair!!!! I was

trained yrs and yrs ago. I belive every one of these lazy uncaring selfish

people need to be cained! I am so sorry this has happened to your poor mother.

You are right to do what ever it takes to put this person out of work for life.

How can she take advantage of a elderly person, you and her job, that is

stealing in my book she was there to do a job and did not do it yet pretending

she was. Please let me know you make your plane trip ok and I hope your mom will

recover. Another needless injury by at the hands

of an imposter. My prayers and thoughts will be with you

Everyone, Well I guess I am going back to Cal. My Mom who was only a few days,is

back in the hosptail,has fallen again,she has aid at the house,and yesterday

when I finally got someone to answer the phone,My Mom tells me that just barely

got her breakfast,because her aid had not gotten out of bed until noon. Well,i

guess this Morning she tried to do it herself, well she fell,and ended up at

Scripps La Holla Hosptail, in the heart unit,they were doing head scans on her.

If I hadnt call the police to do a welfare check on her,i never would have found

out.The police even gave me the phone number to the hosptail,they were so

helpful. Now,I am flying back there on Monday,and I am so afraid to fly,I ask

that you all keep me in your prayers. And my mom too. I will keep you all

informed of what happens,all I know at this point,the aid has got some

explaining to do,and it better be good.I am having her removed

as my Mom's aid,and bringing her up on charges,see I warned

her twice about taking care of my Mom.Well she didnt listen,now it is time to

pay the piper.Thanks Cheryl
