January 1, 2023

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Sure hope this year is better than the last but I feel that this year is going to be very sad.
1:00AM Getting ready to go to bed.
10:00AM Up and about. Fixed breakfast. Temperature 71 degrees and overcast, no sun this morning.
11:00AM Barb sorted and put her clothes away from washing yesterday.


12:00PM Kit text and sent picture of Walter and Matthew going fishing.
2:00PM Sun coming out and temperature of 80 degrees. Looks like it is going to be a nice day.
3:00PM Kit called and we talked for a short time, she was getting dinner ready for the wayward fishermen and there return with their bounty. Hope the did well.
5:30PM Fixed supper, baked pork loin with read potatoes and onion.
6:30PM Watching NBC nightly news.
10:15PM Barb went to bed. Gave her a pain pill.
11:00PM Watching some Gunsmoke. Placed my order with Target via Shipt for 1 to 2pm tomorrow.

January 2, 2023
1:00AM Getting ready to go to bed.
10:00AM Up and about. Fixed breakfast. 11:00AM Gave Barb her breathing treatment. My order was claimed by Debora.
11:20AM Debora text, she is starting my shopping.
12:15AM Debora delivered my order from Shipt. She said she would be off for a couple weeks in January, going on a cruise.
2:30PM Going to CVS to pick up some Potassium for Barb to take daily.
4:45PM Juat noticed the freezer was not running. It is hooked up to the GFI breaker so I unplugged the freezer and run an extension cord from the porch and plugged the freeaer in and the compressor appears to be running. Put a small glass of water in the freezer to see if it is freezing. If not I will have to figure something out to save the food. After I unplugged the freezer I reset the breaker and it is holding, running the dish washer and it seems to be OK. Don't know why the plug in the living room and one in the porch is on the GFI breaker. It must have been the freezer kicking the BFI breaker.
5:30PM Had supper, noodles and porkloin. Barb didn't like the noodles and did not eat any of them and only ate about half of the pork loin.
7:00PM I plugged the freezer into the other circuit in the kitchen and the GFI popped. Unplugged the freezer but the GFI will not reset. I assume it blew up, so got on internet and ordered a new GFI from Home Depot and they said it would be delivered on the 3rd. While on line I ordered a rug shampoo machine and it will be delivered on the 3rd.
Checked the freezer and it is beginning to thaw. Took all of the meat out of the freezer and cleaned out the refrigerator freezer and put all the meat in the refriderator freezer. Going to lose all of the stuff left in the chest freezer. Ordered a chest freezer from Home Depot and it will be delivered on Jan 6th.
11:00PM Barb is in bed and I have been trying to determine what breaker is for what in the house. I don't know who wired this traler and the additions but it had to be an idiot.

January 3, 2023
1:00AM Getting ready to go to bed.
8:00AM UP and about. Called Angel and he was at work so asked him if he wanted or knew someone that would want the contents of the chest freezer. He called Jose (handy man) and Jose and another gentlerman came by and I showed him what I had and he said he would take the whole freezer and that solved two problems, deposing of contents of the freezer and the old freezer.
10:00AM Fixed Barb her breakfast. Run and extension cord to run the microwave and have an extension cord from my room for the refrigerator.
4:00PM Took the CFI out of wall and checked to see it there was any power coming to it. No power so fooling with breakers and told Barb that probably the TV would go off and to not to worry about it, that I would get it back on when I get finished. 5:30PM Had Pizza for supper. Baked a loaf of fresh bread.
6:30PM Watching NBC nightly news.
8:00PM Watching Follow Your Roots. Recording FBI series, FBI International, FBi Most Wanted.
10:00PM Barb went to bed. Gave her a pain pill.
11:00PM Watching more TV.

January 4, 2023
1:00AM Getting ready to go to bed.
10:00AM Up and about, fixed breakfast with some difficulty. Have extension cords run around to keep everything running.
11:40AM Called an electrician Lamar Ollis, recommended by my plumber. The girl said that she would call me back and let me know when they can get to me.
12:05PM Joanne, the hospice nurse, came by and checked Barb. She said that Barb's lungs sounded better with less fluid. Have been giving her breathing treatments twice a day for several weeks. Joanne checked Barb's drugs and put in request for refills and also put in order for the drug for breathing treatments. Starting to run a little low, have about a week left and Joanne will probably not be back for a couple seeks unless I call and need something.
3:00PM Called Home Depot telling them I had reservations on them using Fed EX to delivery the chest freezer on Friday. She said she would give Fed Ex instructions on where to deliver the freezer. I don't think they will do it. I believe they will just drop the freezer outside on the sidewalk. FedEx is the worse delivery system I have every seen. They just drop and run, and I have never had them ring the door bell to let me know they are here. Lucky I have looked out to see if they have been here or Steve calling and letting me know there was a package at my door.
5:30PM Had supper, spaghetti and saved the left over for chili tomorrow night.
6:00PM Called Angel and thanked him for calling Jose to come and take the freezer contents, he even took the old freezer.
7:00PM Barb and I watching TV.
10:00PM Barb went to bed, gave her a pain pill and she went to sleep.

11:00AM Gave Barb her breathing treatment.
11:20AM Dana called Nicole had her babies. First on born around 8pm on January 4th and the second one born around 12:30am on January 5th.
1:45PM Tried to contact Lamar Ollis Electricians again and only got their voice mail. Since I got no appointment when I called on the 3rd and then just got a voice mail today so will look for another electrician.
1:50PM Called Mr Sarky Electric and the young lady gave me an appointment for Monday January 9th and she said that their basic service call is $59 and the electrician will be here on Monday between 12 and 4pm to look at the job and give me an estimate and would start on the job if I agree to the estimate and service call charge will be used in the final charge. Payment is made at the end of the service.

2:00PM Fixed Barb a grilled cheese and a glass of V8 juice for an afternoon snack. Supper will be around 5:30 to 6pm.
6:00PM Barb and I had chili for supper. She ate most of what I gave her. She is eating less and less each day. I keep pushing her to eat more but she puts me off so I am always encouraging to eat snacks as often as I can.
6:30PM Met the G4FM net on local repeater.
8:00PM Barb is coughing very heavily. Gave her a breathing treatment.
8:15PM Barb went to bathroom and I had to help her get there. She was screaming about all the pain in her upper back. Put a pain patch on her back and helped her back to her chair and put her oxygen back on. The pain seemed to subside a little when she sits still in her chair. I am afraid that the pain is going to get worse and more frequent as her cancer progresses. It is really heart breaking because she either just does not understand how bad she is or how things will get worse.
9:00PM Barb and I are watching TV."So Help Me Todd".
9:30PM Put a pain patch on Barb's back. She said she was in a lot of pain in her back. I assume that the pain is being caused by the cancer in her lung. 10:00PM Barb went to bed. Gave her a pain pill.

She was doing something that I have told her never do, (bend over and pick something from the floor that she had dropped) She had on socks that were not slip proof. She said she slipped and yelled. I found her sitting on the floor in the bathroom. Because of the size where she had fallen I had to help her slide on her rump until I could get her into the hall where I had the room to get behind her and pick her up. Luckily I am strong enough to pick her up and place her on her feet. Got to bed and put on non slip socks. and then went back to the bathroom and picked up and cleaned up. Went back to the living room and finished eating my breakfast.

The over all cost is estimated to over $11,000.00. Will put in the exact cost when they get finished. I may have to have a handy man in to repair any structure damage to walls when they finish.

3:00PM While watching DBL Eric complained about a head ache and when he started to get up he could not walk very well. Got him to my bed and he was not making sense when he talked. I told him I was going to call 911 and he was fighting me not to call, he said he was thirty so gave him water and he complained that his right arm was numb and his right leg was cold so I rubbed it for him.
3:47PM Called 911 Eric is having a stroke.
4:05PM EMT s arrived and started working on him. He was very agitated.
4:30PM They put him in the ambulance and took him to LAKELAND Regional Hospital.
4:45PM Doctor from LRH called and said he had a clot on the right side of his head, they were going to try a clot dissolving drug.
5:38PM Doctor from LRH that the clog devolving drug helped with one but there was a larger clot that they were going to have to inject a clot dissolving drug in the vein and try to dissolve the other larger clot. I asked how bad it was and the doctor said that this would be a life altering incident, but I don't know just how much it will effect him. No matter how it comes out Eric will be handy caped in some way. I hope it isn't as bad as it was the last time when he was in rehab for nearly a year. The boys are going to have to step and take over. Their all day playing games is going to stop. I know that Jo won't be able to help in any way. She is at the stage that she will be needing help soon.
7:45PM Talked to nurse in ICU and she told me that the second procedure removed the large clot but he is still sedated and she would try to call me when he comes out of sedation and is assigned a room. 7:50PM Johnathan and Josh took Eric's car and went home but someone would be back tomorrow. I will try to get information to them as to room number etc.
8:15PM Went through his prescriptions to find out his doctor's name found 2 but the most recent was Dr. Rebecca Juarbe Arrillaga in Palaka.
10:00PM Tried calling but just got voice mail. Watching Gunsmoke. Just sitting and waiting and there is nothing I can do ecept wait. I hope the boys got home OK>
11:37PM Talked to Nicole in ICU about Eric. She assorded me that they had found two clots and they were either disolved or gone. He is on a ventalater and still sedated. No change. She said that they will remove him from the venterlater sometime tonight and hope he can breath on his own. She has my number and if anything changes they will call me, so I am putting my fone next to my bed.
I am completely exhausted and don't know if I will be able to sleep or not. Text with Johnathan and told him not to come tomorrow until I talk with him. I don't know when and if visitors will be admitted since he is in ICU. His rom is C3236. Jonathan said the JO wants to come. I will be civil with her but I am not going out of my way to make her confortable. I am not going to let her upset Barb. I am hoping that Barb doesn't get upset and have a sezure because of all the stress. I just hope nothing happens to me. If something would happen to me the whole thing would fall apart.

January 26, 2023
1:00AM Going to bed.
8:30AM Up and about checking things. Nothing heard over night about Eric.
9:30AM Talked to the people that Eric uses for medical in Palaka and talked to Terry asking about Eric's records. She would not give me any information but gave me her number and told me to tell LFMC to call her and she would help them. I hope all goes well.
9:45AM Talked LRMC nurse for Eric's room and she said that he was awake was fighting the ventilater so they removed it and he was very agitated. What's new for Eric. She said he was a little irritated so they gave him something for his stomach. From what she said he must be talking because he was complain and wondering where and what was going on. She said he should be able to have visitors this afternoon. Text Johnathan.
10:00AM Fixed Barb's breakfast.
10:15AM Johnathan called and told him what the nurse said and gave him the numbers he could call. He said that Jo had already been talking to LRMC nurse so she should know as much as me. Johnathn said he is off work tomorrow so he and Jo would be down tomorrow. I told him in no way Jo was to come to the house she was not welcome. If it were only me I wouldn't care but I don't want her to come and upset Barb. Barb is upset enough now and wouldn't want to add to it. I am just praying that Barb doesn't have a seizure with all that is going on.
1:00PM Fell asleep in my chair and I was completely out of it because Austin from Shipt knocked on the door delivering the order I had put in last night for 1pm today. He had text a couple times but did not wake me, I was really out, didn't sleep much last night so very tired. I opened the door and had not turned off the security alarm and of course it went off so had to hurry to tune it off and call SimpliSafe and cancel the false alarm. Everything quite now. Note: Forgot to put that I gave Barb her breathing treatment about 11:25am.
12:40pm Austin just delivered my Shipt order for today from Target.
12:50PM When I opened the door to get my groceries the security alarm went of. Turned it off and called Simplisafe to tell them it was a false alarm.

5:20PM Monica called to ask how Eric was getting along and to tell me she sent Barb a Birthday gift.
5:30PM The nurse from ICU called and said Eric wanted to talk with me so she put Eric on the fone and we talked for almost 20 minutes. His thinking has really slowed down. It takes him time to talk and understand what you say to him. He wanted to know how everyone was doing. Told him Josh and Johnathan had come down and took his car home with them. Had a hard time explaining to him that his car was at home in San Mateo. He was thinking it was still here. Glad this stroke wasn't as severe as the last one. When I talked to the doctor when he was needing permission to do the clot busting procedure I ask the doctor just how bad it was and he said, this is a life changing incident.
6:15PM Big surprise, Jo called and wanted to know what I knew about Eric.
7:00PM Talked to Johnathan and he and Jo are coming down tomorrow leaving around 10 or 11am. I suggested that he take Jo to Eric's room and leave her there and then come down and pick up Eric's things.

12:30PM Sent Dale a message on FB that Eric was in the hospital from a stroke and it happened about 30 minutes after he had talked to Dale on the phone. I hope I got through to Dale that he casuse Eric a lot of stress when he doesn't pay his rent on time. I know Dale has been in the hospital but he seems to spend a lot of money on unnessary things and Eric and his rent always is the last thing he pays.
2:50PM Johnathan just came from the hospital to pick up Eric's stuff. Computer w/mouse/power supply, phone w/charger,glasses, false tooth in container, hat, sandles, clothes bag with everything in it. He also picked up the air compressor on the porch.

He had his stroke just 30 minutes after he had been on the fone with Dale. Dale was making excussed why he couldn't pay the rent. If Dale and Nelson don't pay their rent Eric has to com up with all the bills of the house. He was really agitated after he talked to Dale.

I can't help that she is short, I don't need one I can reach all the high shelves. She got on Amazon and said she found one for $11.99 so to just make her happy I told her to order it so I gave her the cost in cash. $13.00. I doubt I will ever use it except to maybe reach for something that would drop behind something I couldn't reach it.
12:45PM Eric text that he frustrated and the blood pressurize cuff is killing him. Says his arm is purple and black and blue. Text him to just hang in there and try to relax and rest as much as he can.
3:00PM Wendy complaining that the couch cover stinks so I told her to take it off and put it in the washing machine, I will wash it later and replace it on the couch. She also says that Barb's room smells like smoke, then she changed her mind and said it smells of cigarette smoke. It could be coming fro someone outside close to the A/C unit and the odor is being picked up in the fresh air intake. I don't smell anything.

11:35AM Eric called me and trying to tell me that some of the drugs in his bag that I sent to the hospital he was not supposed to take. It is very hard to talk to Eric because he get agitated when talk slow and just use basic words and then if I talk in complete sentences he gets confused at what I am say and gets so he stutters and has a hard time talking. It is really tough not being able to talk with him and when I talk to Barb she either doesn't understand what I am saying or does not hear me. When this happens I start talking very loud and it upsets her but she does hear me but will not pay any attention and does s that she should not do making more work for me. Well, If I wasn't doing things for her I would probably just stay in bed all day and just vegetate so doing things and keeping busy keeps me going.
12:00PM After two runs to the bathroom I finally gave Barb her breathing treatment.
12:50PM Eric sent me a picture that he believes means he is being released. To me that is just you goal. It could be a day or it could be a week or more, depending what the doctor says. I think he will have to have rehab arrangements made before they will release him from the hospital.

February 2. 2023
1:00AM Getting ready to go to bed. Ground Hog Day
10:00AM Up and about, Fixed Barb's breakfast. Made Barb's bed.
11:00AM Took Bella outside.
11:15AM Gave Barb her breathing treatment.
11:30AM Washing a load of clothes, sheets and a throw.
11:45AM Was just wondering about distance from Ft Myers to Lakeland, 104 miles and checked Palaka to Lakeland, 144 miles and from Clarksburg to Pittsburgh, PA 110. Barb and I went to Pittsburgh from Clarksburg every week for nearly a year to visit our mother in the Nursing Home and Wendy is always complaining how hard it is to come to Lakeland from Ft Myers a couple times a month to visit her mother. She bitches about everything and everyone. I know what she thinks and says about me. You can read it in my blog note of Feb 8, 2017
2:00PM Gave Barb a small snack. Broccoli soup with french butter bread.
3:00PM Gave Barb her breathing treatment when I came back it from taking Bella outside.

Note
I am just sitting and being very agitated thinking about Wendy here yesterday. All she could say about coming up and stating with Barb while I went to my doctor appointment was very inconvenient for her.
She and Bob got here around 1:45AM and she immediately wanted to know where were the robes were that she had ordered for Barb. She opened them and decided which ones she would leave with Barb and which ones she would return for a refund. They had just got here and she decided she was starved and sent Bob to go get them a couple Subs to eat. She insisted that I leave early for my appointment so that I could be back earlier. I could care less if she had to wait on me to get back. I left and went to my doctor appointment and I did not get good news. My white count was up by 10.000 and my PSA was elevated. Don t know what this means except I am tired all the time so my CLL maybe getting worse and is it possible I have prostate problems. I stopped on my way back and picked up some KFC for Barb and I for supper. When I walked in the door Wendy was ready to leave and they left with a couple minutes. I don't know where they were going except to a hotel somewhere because they are going to Disney today. Got a picture from Wendy of her and Bob at Disney. As she was leaving she told me that she had put Barb's new robes in Barb's clothes hamper and they have to washed before Barb can wear them. The Hamper was nearly full. I don't understand why she didn't take the hamper and wash the clothes and at least put them in the dryer. She did give Barb a little broccoli soup that she had left in the refrigerator when she was her on Barb's birthday (January 28th) After I got home I started to take the dishes out of the dish washer and found a couple dirty dishes. I won't say that I had accidentally done it but the I had moved the marker on the front to "Clean". All I did was just wash everything over again. If things are not the way Wendy thinks they should be she is a real bitch. I really worry about just want would happen to Barb if I would get sick. I will keep taking care of her as long as I can. If Barb was moved to Ft Myers it could kill her or she would get much worse and Wendy would not hesitates to put her mother in a nursing home. Barb would not last long in a nursing home.

5:00PM Took Clothes out of the dryer and place all of Barb's clothes in the washer. Will finish them up after supper.

6:00AM Barb has been talking off and on for a couple hours. Finally got up and talked to her. She told me how mean I was and she just wanted to get up and go back home, but she could not tell where home was. Asked her where we lived and she said in Lakewood or Youngwood. Really giving me a rough time. Tried to sleep in my chair but couldn't so decided to just go back to bed and try to ignore her rantings.

Filled out all the paper work and Shannon promised that a lady should start on Monday. Will have a care giver from 10am to 2pm each day and it will cost $30 per hour. I made arrangemnts to charge it to my Capital One Credit Card. I hope it all works out OK. If it goes smoothly Shannon will call me later in the week to confirm everything.

6:30PM Watching NBC nightly news. Then went to check the mail.
8:30PM Put Barb back in bed. Since I changed the room and put Barb's chair right against her bed so I only have to lift and move her about 18 inches. Makes it a lot easier.
9:00PM Barb and I are just sitting watching TV to help keep Barb distracted. She is worrying about everything and is very confused where she is. She can't understand why no one seems to care for her except me. I don't feel that way. The only thing I can't understand is why Wendy doesn't want to be around her mother but she just doesn't want to face it. Her kids would really be shocked of some of the things Barb says about everyone. I hope their ears are burning. Of course, it will be all my fault. I figure that they will tear into me when they find out how much of their mother's money I am spending. As far as Barb is concerned I will not cut corners. She is miserable enough.
9:30PM Fixed myself a large salad. Really good.
11:00PM Getting things together and getting ready to go to be.

March 23,2023

10:00AM Gave her some breakfast, bacon and toast and orange juice. She drank the orange juice and ate the bacon, no toast.
11:00AM Gave Barb her breathing treatment.
1:00PM Wendy and Bob arrived. Wendy could see just how bad she was and not making much sense. Wendy suggested that she could have a urinary infection which is very common with older women so to appease her I gave Barb 80 mg of a previously prescribed antibiotic for urinary infection. I probably shouldn't but I don't think it will make much difference or harm her.
3:00PM Gave Barb a small snack and then gave her breathing treatment.
3:30PM Deja, social worker just came to check on Barb's needs and I confessed to her about the antibiotic and she said that was a no no and she would call Joanne. I figure I will get my ass chewed by Joanne.
5:30PM Had supper, baked pork loin, with potatoes, onions, and carrots.
7:00PN Gave Barb her breathing treatment.
9:00PM Put Barb to bed. We are watching TV. PBS.

10:00AM Got Barb ready and up in her chair and fixing breakfast. 10:30AM Barb finished breakfast, She ate about half of her grits, drank all of her juice, finished her bacon and fed her toast to the dog. About the same as usual.
10:16AM Joanne called and told her about the antibiotic and she said she had put in an order for antibiotics and something for anxiety. Should be here in couple days so will continue the antibiotic until they arrive.
11:00AM Gave Barb her breathing treatment.
11:30AM Took Bella outside and Wendy and Bob left for home. I am grateful that they came yesterday. After cleaning Barb 3 times I was at my wits end and exhausted. Wendy did keep Barb company and talked to her all day. She realized the ravings and member problem Barb has. She did suggest that some of the memory problem may be related to a urinary infection which she said she had witnessed in to older people she had been acquainted with had memory problems and it was attributed to urinary infections. I started Barb on the antibiotic.
12:00PM Barb settled in her chair and watching local news on TV,
5:30PM Fixed Barb some tomato soup and she drank it through a straw. She just would not want to feed herself with a spoon so I gave her a straw to drink her tomato soup. She did get most of it down.
7:00PM Put Barb back in bed and she could not even support herself so I had to lift her completely into bed. I think I will leave in bed all day tomorrow because I just can't lift her because she yell in pain that I am to rough and hurt her when I lift her. Maybe on Monday when the care giver is here together we will be able to lift her from bed to chair in the morning and then back to bed before the care giver leaves a 2pm. I really hope that the care giver works out well and they can find someone for the week end. People how much it is taking tole on me to clean and move her in and out of bed.
9:00PM Barb just watching TV with earphones on and I am just on the computer.
11:00PM Everything seems to be settled for the night Getting things ready to tomorrow, breakfast and meds.

March 25, 2023
9:30AM Up and about. Checked Barb, have to get her awake and get her straightened out for the day. 10:30AM Gave Barb her breakfast, the only thing she ate was two pieces of bacon, no toast and a glass of orange juice. She did start her antibiotic which Joanne sent via FedEx.
11:00AM Roger called and he finally got the Genealogical Society Fb page straightened out and he can manage it from now on.

5:30PM Fix Barb some mash potatoes with real bacon bits. Ate about half of it.
8:00PM Watching our normal Saturday night English shows.
11;00PM Finished for the night. Getting ready to go to bed. Very tired or maybe I should say exhausted as usual.

March 26, 2023
5:00AM Barb called for me and I got up. Have no idea what was wrong or what she needed. She just went on about where she is and why she is here and many many questions that I sat and answered. When she couldn't hear me I raised my voice and then she asked me why I was mad at her and why was I yelling. She also went on about nobody wanting her. I won't go any further of what she said about others.
6:30AM Back to bed.
8:00AM Barb wanted me so got up and sat and talked to her again. Made her as comfortable and as I was checking found that she had pulled her pull ups down around her ankles and she had soiled herself. If she starts pulling down her pull ups then I really have a greater problem. She has in the last few days also taking her arms out of her gown and pulling her gown up around her neck under her chin. She always pulls off her oxygen off.

9:30AM Gave her some grits and orange juice. She said she would want somethings else to eat later. Will fix her some bacon and toast about noon and maybe she will eat that.
10:00AM Have Barb sitting up in bed and watching TV. Seems to be semi satisfied at the moment. I don't know if this lady coming tomorrow will really help because Barb is not going to comply with a schedule. All I know is that is is costing an arm and a leg for just a few hours each day. 10:15AM Took Bella outside.
2:00PM I have gotten Barb to take a couple of drinks of orange and less than a cup of water. She did eat about half of her grits this morning.
3:00PM I am just sitting here with the TV on to furnish a little noise in the room. I feel completely helpless. I can keep her clean and as comfortable as possible but I know all I am doing is just watching her die a little each day. I know I am what is called depressed but I won't give up. I'll be here until she is gone and cry for her.
4:30PM Fixed chicken and drumlins for supper. Barb ate a little as finger food and I fed her a couple spoons full.
5:30PM Pulled up in bed and raised the head of the bed so she could watch TV. I think all she is doing is snoozing going in and out of sleep. We are watching a movie.
6:30PM Barb and I watching ABC news.
8:30PM Kit and I talked for over an hour. Just got everything out so I could relax for a while. She keeps telling me what a great guy I am and no one else would do what I am doing. I suppose it does make me feel better, at least, coming from my sister.
9:00PM Barb and I still watching TV. Barb has her earphones on so I can keep the TV down at a reasonable level. Really not watching it.
11:00PM Checking Barb before I get all set to go to sleep. The care giver from Right At Home is supposed to be here at 10am. Will have to start getting out of bed at 9;30 each morning.

March 27, 2023
8:30AM Up and about. Barb still asleep.
10:00AM Gloria from Right At Home arrived. Going over instruction and what I need her to do.
11:00AM Gave Barb her breakfast, Bacon with toast, grits, ate about half. Drank her orange juice. 2:00PM Gloria just left. We will have to get into a routine. I think Barb liked her, very talkative. 2:00PM Called the number 800 753 1880 for hospice and I got a voice mail for Central Heath Services which had an extensive voice recording of services offered by Central Health Services and never mentioned anything to do with Good Shepherd Hospice.
2:10PM Called again and got the same Central Health Service message and then I stayed on long enough that they said if I knew my number please leave a message.
2:15PM Since I got no one I text Joanne from the number she had previously called me.
2:20PM Thought I would try one more time and when I dialed the 800 number Good Shepherd Hospice answered. Asked them to have Joanne to give me a call.
2:44PM Glenn claimed my order with Shipt and text me that he is shopping.
3:00PM Brought in my groceries and there was no bacon and when I went back and checked my order, I had not ordered any. I don't know how I missed ordering bacon. We won't have bacon for breakfast for a couple days until I make another order.
6:00PM Gave Barb some tomato soup for supper. She took two spoonfuls of soup and said she didn't want anymore. I then fed her about three more spoonfuls and then she just wouldn't eat anymore. I will try to get her to eat something else later. She had almost stopped eating anything. I have got some orange juice down her and just a few ounces of water. Watching local news.
6:30PM Watching NBC local news.
8:00PM Britney called and Barb did not want to talk to her. She just did not want to talk on the phone.
8:30PM Wendy called and she is all up in a bunch about Barb's money. Has put herself on Barb's bank account at Wells Fargo and she is trying to get me to help her in someway get the money from Kimba transferred to Wells Fargo. She says she is worried about getting everything tied up in probate. So want she might have to wait a couple months to get her hands on it all. After Barb is gone I hope they enjoy every cent of what they get from Barb. The only I have to get is her bills from Right At Home paid because it is being charged on my credit card. 11:00PM Getting ready to go to bed.

March 28, 2023
1:00AM Barb woke me and was saying over and over that she wanted to go home and I was being mean to her because I wouldn't take her.
6:30AM I finally got back in bed. Very tired. Have to get up by 10am when Gloria comes.
9:00AM Barb calling for me again so got up and sit in the chair next to her.
10:00AM Gloria just arrived, Barb is soiled and Gloria started to clean and then got her up in her chair.
11:00AM Barb ate about half of her grits and drank some orange juice. Gave her her morning meds.
11:30AM Joanne called and I told her about things not arriving.
12:00PM FedEx came with Barb's meds.
1:00PM Placed a small order with Shipt to be delivered between 4 and 5pm.
2:00PM Gloria just left for the day. Troy asked for $600 his employer did not pay him for some reason. His pay was supposed to be direct deposit and they failed. He said that Tyler wanted the job in PA but his car started giving him trouble so he went to work in Morgantown so he can get to work without a car.
4:00PM April claimed my order and delivered my order. Got everything today.
6:00PM Fixed Barb some supper. She had tomato soup with crackers and she ate daily well. I fixed myself a couple cheese burgers. Haven't had a good hamburger in a long time. They were great. Gave Bella one of the burgers.
6:30PM Watching NBC nightly News. This is nearly 10 times today I have seen the news about the school shooting. They keep showing over and over the shooter shooting It's way into the school and the police taking it down and killing it. I know there are Thousands of nuts out there figuring how they could do it better and the news just feeds them all of the details.
8:00PM Watching FBI, FBI International, FBI Most wanted.
11:00PM Getting Barb ready to go to bed.

March 29, 2023
6:30AM Barb call out and I got up. Seems she only wanted to talk so we talked for a while.
7:00AM Back in bed.
8:50AM Up and about. Barb is sound asleep so I won't bother her until Gloria gets here.
9:30AM Called Right At Home to check to see if they had gotten someone to work on Saturday and Sunday and they said not yet. I don't believe they will get anyone or are really trying. I will just have to bite the bullet and make it through the week end. I will tell Wendy that I have no one for the weekend but there will be an excuse why she can't make it or she will come up and get here around noon and go home by dark. She sure got all of Barb's money gathered up in one spot where she can control it.
10:01 Right At Home called said Gloria would be a little late because of car trouble.
1015AM Gloria came, seems she was on her way and for some reason her car just stopped, waited a few minutes and it started again.
11:00AM Barb had some grits orange juice and a couple pieces of bacon, at least what she didn't feed Bella.
12:48PM Joanne called and said she would be here shortly.
1:00PM Gloria just finished cleaning the wounds on Barb and pointed out that they have turned into bed sores and we need some sort of treatment. She put the medicated patches we have on the sores and I will pick up some ointment tomorrow at CVS,
1:20PM Joanne just came and Gloria showed the problem to Joanne and she said she would put in for an emergency delivery of meds for the bed sores. Joanne examined Barb and took her vitals and placed Barb on her side and cleaned her. She has Barb on her right side with a pillow keeping the pressure off her back to give Barb relief and getting air to the bed sores.. Barb went right back to sleep and is sleeping now. I will have to watch if she wets or soils her pull ups so she can keep dry.
Joanne put in another order for diapers and can't understand why they have not arrived. She said she will call me tomorrow and check to see what comes. If the ointment doesn't come then I will have to go to CVS and pick something up. No problem since Gloria will be here and I can go.
Haven't heard from Wendy today, but if she calls all she will do is ask how is mom and I am so sorry I wish I could do something. If she doesn't know what she can do in no way will every be able to tell her, If I did tell her exactly what she could do it would probably offend her in some way. She knows that I have no one to help on Saturday and Sunday and she has said nothing I know either or Bob will be watching the We;;s Fargo account to see what I spend out of Barb's account.
4:07PM Just received a call from Right At Home care that when Gloria went home she test positives for COVID. This means Barb, Joanne (the Hospice Nurse) and myself have been exposed to COVID.

4:45PM Just text Wendy telling her of us being exposed to COVID and if she wanted to know anything to call Right At Home and gave her the name and number of the person that notified me. I told her don't call me because that is all I know and I don't need any advice.....Her answer, "Ok. Not going to offer any advice. Hopefully you will both okay like when I had it at Christmas. Thank you for keeping me updated. Very sorry to hear the news" Also told her I have no care giver to help with Barb for tomorrow or the week end and there was no reference to that statement at all. Don't you think that she would be her day and night trying to make her mother more comfortable or just talk to her, but she sure jumped in and made sure that she has complete control of Barb's bank accounts. She and her husband probably think that I am stealing Barb's money. 10:00PM most of the evening went just like any other day. As soon as it got dark Barb started complaining and wanted to go home. I just keep reassuring her that it is as it is but she insist that she wants to go home. Finally I tried something else, I promised her I would take her home tomorrow. Maybe that will satisfy and keep her quite for a while. I think I will try to let her rave during the night but I may or may not be able to do it. I just can't stay up all night with her and then go all day, I will just go as far as I can and then I will just fall in my chair and sleep.
11:00PM Getting ready to go to bed, hope all goes well during the night.

March 30, 2023
9:00AM Was up several times during the night. Barb slept well and did not wake or at least she did not call for me. Got up just as the clock was striking 9, Barb seems to be sleeping and not moving around to much. She had removed her socks sometime during the night and had her covers pulled up around her exposing her feet. The temperature in the house is 74 degrees so I don't believe she is cold. The temperature outside is 69 degrees and the sun is up very brightly. Another beautiful day for Sun & Fun, already several low flying planes. The Blue Angels are supposed to fly over today around 4pm and that will be extremely noisy.
10:00AM Barb seems to be sleeping comfortably so I am not going to disturb her, just let her sleep. When she sleeps she doesn't appear to have any pain or discomfort. I will just sit here and watch her breath and snooze a little myself. I don't really sleep well at night so I am tired all the time.
Note
No caregiver today since the one came yesterday and exposed Barb and I to COVID. The call I received yesterday afternoon was a very cold and matter of fact call. Shannon from Right At Home called and said that my caregiver would not becoming today because she tested positive for COVID. Shannon said she could furnish me a caregiver at 3:30PM today but I don't need a caregiver in the afternoon, it is the mornings I need help starting the day. Shannon then said there would be a caregiver at 10am on Friday but she could not furnish one for Saturday or Sunday. When the caregiver, Gloria, came yesterday morning she was 10 minutes late and said she had some car trouble. As the morning past she told me that she was upset because when her son got up he had a slight fever and a head ache. Seems strange to me why she waited until she return home after being here all day she decided to test herself for COVID. i think she had suspected something all day because of her son have a head ache and slight fever that morning. It appears to me Right At Home has no concern that their caregiver exposed Barb and I to COVID. Well, that is life and we just have to live or die with the results.
4:00PM I have tried to give her water twice today and finally when I was wiping her lips with a wet tissue she was fighting me with her hands and saying no, no, no, I finally got her to take a sip of water through a straw. She than said no more water. I have just kept checking her to make sure she is dry or has not soiled herself. Just sitting here watching her breath. Have not turned on TV today. All I have had is a bowl of cereal and just now had a coke.
11:00PM No change with Barb all evening. If I tried to cover her or even touch her she would push my hands away. She didn't speak all evening. Getting ready to go to bed. New Girl from Right At Home supposed to come at 10am.

March 31, 2023
2:30AM Up and checked Barb, she is breathing in very short shallow breathes. Doesn't respond when I touch her.
6:30AM Up to check Barb and to see if she is covered temperature in house only 70degrees. She seems warm enough but still very shallow short breathes. She pulled her oxygen off sometime during the night. She would not let me put it back on.
9:00AM Up and about and checked Barb and her eyes are open and she is looking out the window. She responded to me when I spoke to her. I gave her some water and asked if she was hungry and she said yes.
9:15AM Fixed and feed about the teaspoons of grits and she said it was good. She drank a couple sips of water. More responsive at this time but her breathing is still shallow.
10:00AM Care Giver by the name Maureen just arrived and is taking care of Barb. I placed an order with Shipt to be delivered between 1 and 2pm or earlier if she could.
11:45AM Sara claimed my order with Shipt and delivered it. Very few items. The only thing I really needed was an ointment for diaper rash for Barb.
1:00PM Maureen put some of the ointment on Barb and it seems to relieve the burning sensation from the rash. She also placed Barb in adult diapers. Hope the diaper makes it easier to change her and my be a little more comfortable than pull ups.
2:00PM Maureen the care giver just left.
5:00PM Got Barb to eat a few pieces of crisp bacon and most of her mashed potatoes.
6:30PM Watching NBC nightly news.
10:00PM Just checked Barb and predisposition her in bed to try to make her more comfortable.
11:00PM Getting Barb and I ready to go to bed. Hope the night goes quietly.

April 1, 2023
8:30AM Up and about. Checked on Barb she appears to be awake but does not talk coherently. Can't make out what she is saying she just mumbles.
9:30AM Have cleaned Barb and took me over a half hour fighting her to get a clean diaper on her, she fights me continuously and says I am rough which to her I must be. She says that quite plainly and also I am mean. Finally got the diaper on her. She seems to be resting comfortably now and is back to just mumbling.

Of course, she will have to leave no later then 4 or maybe 5 because it is so inconvenient for her to get back home during or after sunset. (7:46pm).

5:00AM Barb has been mumbling in her sleep for nearly an hour so I got up and she continued make no sense at all what she was saying. I talked to her and held her hand and she seemed to relax a little. She did drink a little water.
6:00AM She did arouse for a short time and said my name a couple times, then she started aclling the dog. She was saying Bella over and over several times and then dropped off to sleep. Her breathing is very shallow and unsteady but she seems to be relaxed. I am just sitting in the chair watching her, no need to go back to bed because I wouldn't sleep anyway.
6:15AM This is Sunday morning so things are ver quite outisde. If this were a week there would be neighbors getting up and getting ready for work. There would be lots of traffic but this morning is very quite, just the tiking of the clocks and Barb's breathing.
9:30AM Gave Barb some grits with brown sugar and butter to eat. She couln't feed herself so I fed her. She also had some orange juice. She did pretty good for breakfast.

12:30PM Bob and Wendy came. I just sit and listened to Wendy talk with Barb. Barb seemed to be satisfied that Wendy had come to see her.
1:00PM Had to clean and change Barb's diaper. Wendy volenteered to do it but It would have been more trouble and time consuming to give her instructions so I just did it myself. Wendy did give Barb her daily meds. Have to disolve her pills in a little water and give them to her. She gags on dry pills.
2:30PM Bob and Wendy left. They did pick up and put all of garbage in the containers before they left. I will take the containers out later.
5:00PM Had baked BBQ ribs for supper. Put them in the oven while Wendy and Bab were here. I did not make enough and did not offer them any. I assume they had eaten before they came.

I said she exposed us to COVID and the girl at Right At Home said that Gloria has been retested and she tested negative for COVID so she had to be off only 7 days before she would go back to work. I told them I didn't want Gloria even though she did a good job, they told me that she was the only one available and if I didn't accept her then it would be a while until they could schedule another caregiver to me. Looks like I am between a rock and a hard place. Have Gloria or no one so just take what I am given and forget about it. 10:15AM Place and order with Shipt and Glenn claimed my order.
10:55AM Placed call with Hospice and they said someone would give me a call back from Magnolia group.

I was not told about her testing negative until I called them today and was informed Gloria would be back on Wednesday. I told them I did not Gloria, not because of her care giving but because of all the controversy over whether she had COVID or not. I either take Gloria back or I will not have a caregiver until they may or may not find one.

3:00PM Went back on line and went to Aging Care and asked for more references for Care for Barb.

Pam will call me tomorrow to finalize things and make sure of when they can start and the price should be exactly the same as we are paying now and they will furnish care givers 7 days a week but he said it would work much better if we could start at 9am which only means that I will just have to be away at 8:30 which I am almost always awake by that time anyway. I hope it sure works out. If they can start I will inform Shannon with Right At Home that after Friday I will not need their services.

About the only word you can understand is no. It is so sad that I can do nothing for her except talk to her or just sit and watch die. Why does she have to suffer.Where are her children?

9:30AM Home Helpers care giver, George Swartz just arrived. George has a rough external appearance but when he started with Barb he was good.

I get along with him fine because I am one to give orders, haha.
1:30PM George just left.
1:45PM Susan (hospice nurse supervisor just arrived.) just arrived. She had called earlier that she wanted to drop by. I told Susan that I had tried to give Barb her meds and could not get them down her so Susan gave her the meds and showed me how to do it. Barb will not take any food and chokes on water so will have to make a paste and just place it in her mouth to just absorb in her mouth if she doesn't swallow.

4:50AM Cell phone went off, An Emergency Alert Practice.
11:00AM Up and about, had some grape nuts for breakfast.
12:00PM Heard on news that the emergency alert was by mistake and the company that did it is losing their contract with the state.
1:00PM Read my email and I had received an email from Wells Fargo Bank telling me that I had been removed from all of Barb's bank accounts. Looks to me that Wendy does not trusts me. She got the death certificate yesterday and within an hour after the bank opened she took complete control of Barb's accounts. I hope she is smart enough to pay the recipients of Barb's will out of Barb's account rather than enacting the supervisor and removing the money and placing it into another account.
5:30PM Went out to check to see what Wendy had thrown away and I was surprised of what she put in the garbage. The hair blower that I thought she had taken was in the garbage. A lot of Barb's memorability was in the garbage. It looks like the things she took all had monetary value. She took all of Barb's jewelry but threw away 4 watches which are good but the batteries are dead. She didn't pay much attention, the watch are all women's nice electric watch but the bands on 3 of them are very expensive, much more than the value of the watches. I gave her all of the coffee mugs in my cabinet that Barb had brought with her which were special cups with "Fred", "Mom" and several other cups that Barb had saved for many years that she and Fred had collected over the years. I found them in the garbage. She could have just told me she didn't want them and I would have put them back on the shelf in my cabinet. It seems to me she wanted nothing that attached Barb to her heritage and family. Wendy is a very self centered individual who only wants things that she feels have value. 6:00PM Supper, BBQ ribs with cinnamon rolls for dessert.
6:30PM Check in and out of the G4FM Thursday night net. Lee is off tonight.

Note: I did not put my flags today. I am so disused with all of these things that are going on. I really can't do anything about this damn President. I can only just sit and watch what he is trying to do my country. I have lived through other administrations that I did not agree with, but with this administration I just feel useless because I can't even say anything about how I feel. Not displaying my flag is the most I can do. No one pays any attention to anything I say and there is nothing I can do. I will vote when the time comes but I would be happy if Joe Bide just dropped dead. Of course, we would just get the VP who is just a female that slept her way up the latter, she would be doing the same with Biden except he is to old to get it up.

We talked for about an hour and most of the conversation was around things that Wendy had and had not done. I did get one bit of information. She said that Wendy told them that she used the money in Barb's Ohio account to pay for her cremation. Didn't know the price but I figure it was around $2000, Of course, I have not heard anything from Wendy since the picture of the receipt of the deposit in my account on May 19th.

Tyler is very insecure and wants someone to get him out the problems that he has gotten himself into, His credit rating is on the mid 500s or lower.

At times I think there are a large number of cars parked on the street but there is just nowhere else to put time since we only have single car carports and the man complaining has to long driveways on each side of his double wide.
