My sister and I decided to bring mom home from the hospital, as a hospice bed hasn't opened up.
Before she was admitted to the hospital I was her full time care giver with no help and or interest from any one in the family including my sister. I was working part time a part time student as well as the advocate for her care as she could not speak (up until her very recent diagnosis made in the hospital most of her family thought this was all in her head).
She was admitted Friday and I wrote back to back university exams on Monday and Tuesday. So the day after finishing my exams, god forgive me for saying this, no mother to take care of. I wanted to stay in bed for one day....just one dame day and watch movies and lay around peacefully. I could just for the first time in months not worry about my mom.
Not so! I was awoken to my sister stomping about loudly I came up stairs to find out if everything was ok and it turns out.....the bottom of the garbage can was dirty and she needed to run the bath and bleach the entire container. I told her I would really like to sleep and she steped forward with her hands up exasperated and said "me too". I told her to not worry about the bottom of the garbage can.
"Well who is going to clean this filthy house?"
"Ok well thank you I guess sorry. Your just being loud"
I went back to bed....please forgive me I didn't have to listen for a faint cry or wake up because I think I may have heard a noise.
So all nice and cuddled up in bed....then I hear her ask my friend for help moving the fridge and stove to clean behind it.
Now she is is home and there are a thousand different opinions on what should be done and I'm all for input although no one is asking for mine.
I just want to sleep.
As I type my sister is doing laundry at 10 30 pm......ah after that perhaps I shall fall asleep to the consistent hum on the dryer only to be awoken by buzzer to signify the end of the cycle.
Not to worry though my sister shall be fast asleep thanks to my mom's sleeping pills.
