Some poor daughter, husband or grandson got sick of wiping up drool and feces and urine and decided they would much rather pay someone to do this.
OMG!!!! I just spent 2 hours getting my mother up and ready for her day. This included getting her u and out of bed, diaper off, on the bowl, diaper on, clothes on and in the wheel chair. This is what my father has my son do every day???? OMG!! The woman can't do anything - and daddy is in no shape to help her. Now I was assuming I was doing this so that he could take her to the doctor and the doctor is going to decided she has to go back to the nursing home. Then he tells me he will need my help in the morning again. Ummm - isn't she going back???
Then she has to test her blood sugar, which she does on a normal basis, but she couldn't do that. She had blood over the little machine thing, she is getting an error message that she doesn't know what it is and worse - she won't hand the freakin thing over - I hate blood, but just give it to me. I would love to leave before I actually puke!!! OK, so I take the machine and wipe all the freaking blood off - I won't worry any one by saying that she has had a few blood transfusions. OK, machine is clean, strip is in, poke yourself and give me the blood. After 10 minutes I take the stick and poke her myself - and as much as I thought I would enjoy that, I really didn't.
I was angry with my dad for making my son do this, but now I am really angry and I want to slap my son (yes, you, because I love you like fireworks and this is not fair to you) for not letting me talk my father out of this in the first place. He is a wonderful young man to do this but for the love of God no one should have to do this!!!
So, two hours of my life I will never get back. Grab the grandog and run. I come home and call dh and tell him he better never let that happen to me. EVER!!!! (Although my boy is training me and if anything does happen, he has pretty much guaranteed I can drag my sorry butt to the road and throw myself under a truck)
