and i am wiped..hardly anyone but my brother came to vivist my mother..afraid they might have to help..

well i did get my nite girl..to help at bedtime..but she had an emergency in another state and quit..
well now i have 2 other girls to split the week..they are close friends..which is turning into a night mare..they wear way too much perfume..i had to tell them to stop..they said its the hand snitizer..ya that and the perfume..lol..well its enough to make you sick..i cough the whole time there here..so far they have stopped the perfume but not the sanitizer..

anyway i want bedtime to go as normal..with me helping..one of them doesnt..she wants to do it her own way..she cant even put a daiper on in bed..it takes forever and my mother ends up wetting all over the place before she gets the diaper on..ugh!! it never ends..
i have been firm with these two..they do it my way or hit the road..

well just needed to unload..other wise things arent too bad..

actually Mae..when we had her on the commode tonight..her foot looked almost black..2 seconds in bed and perfect..we do have a hospital bed..i have yet to find something to keep then ok in the wheel chair..i cant get her into a living room chair..too hard to get her out..
tomorrow i will put he leg things on with a pillow across them/ i am still experementing
i will try socks too..i just recently had to get her out of pants and back into a dress..because she wont stand for me..but sometimes i wonder if its cause of this circulation prob..

Forever Rainbows, when my aunt was in her wheel chair I would pull it up to a regular living room chair, Bring put the pillows on the lounge chair to make her compfortable.wHEN SHE WOULD WANT TO SIT UP SIDE WAY ON HER BED, i WOULD PLACE THE WHEEL CHAIR CLOSE TO HER AND THE BED AND PUT PILLOWS UNDER HER LEGS AND THE SMALL SPACE BETWEEN THE BED A WHEEL CHAIR.I also had special booties to keep her feet warm as they were so cold because of poor circulation

Forever Rainbows, the purple indicates poor circulation.Positively nothing that is tight on the legs.Her legs have to be elevated to allow the blood to flow and not over work the heart.Her legs should be elevated as high as her heart.I would pillows undr my aunts legs when she was in sitting position.When in the hospital bed I would raise the foot of the bed.Her legs may feel cold so they need to be kept covered with a blanket.Do they swell when she has them down.How long before they turn puple when she puts her legs down.For the longest time my aunts would change from good to bad in a few seconds and when propped they went back to their normal color in a few seconds.This causes the heart to work over time to distribute her blood.Also she could have other complications with her legs if not prooped with this discoloring

i told elder services..let them tell the agency..well she hasnt been back..and my day girl met her at another clients house...and she said holy cow..does she stink ..she said she will tell them too..because the other client starting coughing alot.

but i have a dilemma..my moms feet are getting purple..when she sits in the wheel chair..its just a transport cheer..it has the leg things..but she wont keep her feet on them..and it doesnt help..do i need to buy those white stockings..i have tried a stool..but maybe its not high enough..sorry i am not too experienced in this dept..

FR, it wouldn't be outta line, since you have asked her to tone it down and still she reeks, to call the agency and ask them to politely have a talk with her. If it bothers you and your mom, I'd be willin' to bet it bothers other people too! I'm all for smellin' good, but one person's pleasure is another person's poison... As a professional, she needs to understand this concept.

well one of these new girls..will not stop wearing this dreadful scent..and my mother has asthma..plus i have migraines..and i have had one continuous headache..she told me tonite she didnt have anything on..oh bull crap..she reeked!!! ya she stopped the sanitizer..but if she uses it at other homes..then its still on her..it must soak into her skin..ugh!!
