Mom was a little improved

This post is out of place. I wrote this last week Monday or Tuesday.

Last evening. But, I think I have ticked off some of the staff. I really don't care. As long as Mom continues to improve, I will continue to tick them off.

But REALLY-- it doesn't take much effort to check that she has everything on her tray. Mom didn't have her healthshake. The slip clearly said she gets one. When I asked where her shake was and the NA who "should have" been feeding her just shrugged her shoulders. I went to the kitchen and GOT her shake. Then when I asked for straws you would have thought I was asking for part of her paycheck. But Mom ate good for me. Then I showed that same NA that Mom's feet were purple, who again looked stupid. I said that Mom would have to be put to bed as Soon after supper as possible. I was told that they would put no one to bed until the dinning room was cleared. So I took Mom to the nurse and showed her Mom's feet. I asked that Mom be the first one put into bed. Then I took her to her room and propped up her feet and massaged her feet until they were a healthier color. Soon after the same aid who said Mom would have to wait came in and said the nurse told her Mom needed to be put in bed. I said OK and smiled.
