Last
night Dawn called me and I was telling her how my mom got upset that I
didn't take a shower. My spasms were pretty bad and I was in allot of
pain I wasn't going to risk getting hurt by transferring into the
shower.I wish I could put her in my position for a day, dealing with the
spasms and pain that's not easy. I need to call my neurologist and see
if she can see me the same day that I get my baclofen pump filled, I
need another pain pill half way during the day. When Steph is here my
pain isn't bad but when she leaves it gets worse since there is no human
interaction. I can hire another pca and Dawn was saying that Jorma and
my mom can wear robes at night. When I come home from some where they go
right upstairs for 3 or 4 hours, and I can't reach anything to make
dinner for myself either. I can reach the peanut butter but not the
jelly, my mom always says "I'll be down in a second" but I take my meds
at 4. I know my mom won't like me taking another pain pill but she's not
the one living in pain. She doesn't like when I put ice on my back, she
won't reposition me like Steph does. So I really need the courage to to
tell her that I'm going to hire another pca since she doesn't want to
interact with me. It does help if I have someone in my room talking with
me or doing something with me. My mom watches her shows and doesn't
check up on me. If she sat in my shoes for one day and felt the
rejection and pain then it would be different.
So
Steph and I went to the mall today and got my mom soap, after I went to
barns and noble. I was gone for more than 6 hours and I am happy that I
went out today. Then I went to the Lindt chocolate store and I was in
chocolate heaven, I got some good chocolate too. I like going to barns
and noble and get out of the house. My mom came and got me at 6 and when
I got home she said "Steph needs to put you for a shower tomorrow",
after Steph leaves tomorrow my mom is going to do some work she's going
to put me in the shower she can't always do the easy things such as put
me in bed and do my meds, if she doesn't like it then I will hire
someone who will do it at nights and if she doesn't like that it's her
own fault. I'm burnt out by my mom she wants Steph do all the laundry,
my showers and she never cooks me good food. I am always eating the same
thing, she only wants to do the easy things and nothing else. I am
calling my dds worker tomorrow and telling her that I can't do this
anymore, I am burnt out by my mom.
While
I was out I called my neurologist to see if she can see me, I have to
get my baclofen pump filled on Tuesday I need to show her my pain. She
said that she is going to increase one of my meds in the afternoon I
told her that if she is able to give me another pain med. When I was at
MHS my body didn't hurt this bad but after I left there how public
school took away PT they said I didn't need it. I got weaker and now I
am full time pca, I don't mind the help but if I was there then I could
do my showers. I wish my mom would listen to me when I tell her they
aren't easy to do, the shower chair that I have isn't the best but she
wants them done. I hope my neurologist can do something about my pain, I
know my mom won't like if she gives me another pain med but I need it.
At 4 my whole body hurts and I'm not sure when I'm getting my new power
wheelchair, the new one will be able to recline too so when I read at
nights I can tilt and recline too. My legs and back cause me the most
pain, when I'm at church or with Steph my pain isn't that bad but when
I'm sitting in my room might after night with no human interaction my
pain goes up. My mom has her own life and she has my aunts and my
sisters and of course Jorma, it's not easy living here at all. She could
easily do my shower tomorrow afternoon or on Saturday but she won't
because she wants Steph to do everything, it really frustrates me how
she doesn't want to do anything with me she wants Steph to do all of it
and it's not fair for her either.
When
I was leaving barns and noble I saw my friends Dave & Shawn, I told
Dave that I had a halo and he said "your halo is tarnished". Dave and
Shawn are always joking around with me. They got my high school diploma
when they didn't want to give it to me. Tomorrow night I am going back
to the Lutheran church for the spaghetti dinner and Steph is coming with
me, because I don't want to go back there myself. I have my therapy
session too and it's nice that she's a Christian and she's blind I can
relate to her more than I can to Ellen. I was telling her how I tell
doctors that I have a better doctor than all of them and they ask "who
is it?" I tell them it's Jesus. Four years ago when the doctors told me
that I herd voices I said "I only hear one voice and his name is God".
It's easier talking to Diane since she believes in God, last week we
were talking about our favorite Christian artist and I told her when I
first went to cross roads I wasn't use to the clapping or raising their
hands. Steph gets to see how serious the Lutheran's are. Cross roads and
horizon they said when I get my new power chair they need to pull me
over because I don't have a license. I don't mind them joking around
with me it's better than going to the more serious church. Christmas
2011 I put my phone on video mode and I was taking short video's of them
singing, my brother in law Bret I could tell that he didn't like me
taking video's. Everyone wants me back there, but I like the up beat
music with the drums. I can't fall asleep during those services but at
the Lutheran service I could. I am glad that Steph is coming with me,
other wise it would be my mom Jorma, Maiju and Bret and their 3 kids and
Suvi I am not sure if Brad is going he doesn't like church. Jorma and
Brad would rather drink I am so happy that I quit doing that
The Reason for the world
Matthew West
There are no words in times like these
When tears don't hide the tragedies
And all you want is a reason for the world
No comfort in the greeting card
Cause God is good
But life's still hard
and your heart just wants a reason for the world
Maybe the reason for the pain
Is so we would pray for strength
And maybe the reason for the strength
Is so that we would not lose hope
And maybe the reason for all hope
Is so that we could face the world
And the reason for the world
Is to make us long for home
For God so loved your broken heart
He sent his son to where you are
and he died
To give a reason for the world
So lift your sorrows to the one
Whose plan for you has just begun
And rests here in the hands that hold the world
Maybe the reason for the pain
Is so we would pray for strength
And maybe the reason for the strength
Is so that we would not lose hope
And maybe the reason for all hope
Is so that we could face the world
And the reason for the world
Is to make us long for home
Well I know your past the point of broken
Surrounded by your frea
i KNOW you're faint and tired and lonely
from the road that you walked down here
But just keep your eyes on heaven
and know that you are not alone
remember the reason for the world
No ear has heard
No eye has seen
Not even in your wildest dreams
A beauty that awaits beyond this world
When you look into the eyes of grace
and hear the voice of mercy say
Child, welcome to the reason for the world
