October 28th
Yesterday was Robert’s birthday, we had the family up for dinner and cake, it was pretty fun. My oldest boy David, went to see Granny after he got work at 4:00 p.m. and found her in bed complaining of hurting all over. I called the NH when he told me about this only to find that she had x-rays taken several hours before my call and they were waiting for the results. The nurse finally called me at 9:15 last night to tell me she had two broken toes. Now the broken toes are important, however, I am not angry about it nor do I place blame on the NH, after all mom broke a whole lot of things right here in this house and I know it wasn’t my fault but I am angry that they didn’t call me and let me know what was happening. After talking with them I don’t think it will happen again! I am on my way to see mom right now, hopefully she’ll be up and not hurting too much.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
I went to see mom the other day and nothing was wrong with her feet or toes. The x-ray said possible not definate breaks so. I think it may be just mom using her regular excuses not to get up out of bed. She did complain of a sore butt, I checked it and she did have some redness starting so I told the nurse about, they were to start applying cream to it, however, this afternoon when I saw her she was in bed and complaining of her butt hurting her. Again I checked it and found terrible blisters that had busted and caused her skin to become raw. I immediately told the nurse who responsed with her patronizing voice that they had lavished her with the cream several times in the past two days and it would get better. Never once in the time she was with me did she get like this. Why is it so hard to wipe and wash another human beings butt when they obviously can't do it for themselves.
