Days off don't exist anymore.....
Today was a better day. Even though I had to go to my grandparents’ house today. My Grandmother calls my mother this morning to ask her for my uncle's phone number. This is a phone number she dials at least once a day, yet this morning she could not remember it.
So after measuring the shower in the front of the house, mother and I ventured out to home depot to acquire supplies, then to the Wally Monster for the rest of the supplies... If I was not excused enough by this point we had to go back take apart the show and put in her chair and new showerhead along with foot grippers. Finally I was able to convince her to get in the shower and had to stand outside of the shower to show her how to use it.
This was the first shower she has had in two months.
Perhaps tomorrow we will take her to get her hair cut, but for now mom and I have to get up tomorrow and get her over to the doctors office (since she canceled all her meds and fired all her old doctors) Maybe with us going we can help get her to listen to him or perhaps he may know a way to help her with our limited available time to take care of her.
She wants me to spend all my time with her because she is so scared and lonely and she is my grandmother but the simple fact is I need to work. I have things I have to do. I can't spend ALL my time on just one person.
I feel like I need a public scheduler... I put in appointments and work schedule and everyone else can write in when they want to hang out so I know what to prepare for. Maybe then I won't have as much stress on me.
I found myself hoping I didn't have to go into work for Thursday, for the chance to get my meds fixed and refilled. Instead of hoping for a day off to do what I do need to do... relax
