Dementia

So on Christmas I went to the old age home to celebrate Christmas with the elderly people it was so sad to see some of them without their family but anyway I was just sitting there having lunch with them and just chilling yeah just to put a smile on their faces

my knitting

I have public sun of my stuff on Facebook Instagram Twitter and on my blog also and no one likes it and it makes me so not furious but what is the right word goodness I'm not English I don't know I'm more Afrikaans and English ok I think I'll try to work later toodles πŸ˜€πŸ€©

I know I said that I am back again but lately I feel so tired not that I don't want to knit or crochet, I don't understand what  is going on, I don't know what to do with this exhaustion

I'm back again after such a long time

Yes if I said I'm back again after such a long time I have like three patients that I was possible and now in between I'm doing crocheting I'm so happy to be back on my block again I missed it I was having trouble to login but now I'm going to I'm going to publish whatever is on my mind thank you

The last moment

Her eyes turned black what now I'm just a companion carer never had experience of  doing a CPR  My God she stopped breathing her face was black as well . I could feel how my heart was beating I was ice cold.i have never seen someone died in front of me . What comes in my mind was hit her on the chest no I might hurt her I place my left hand in the middle of her chest put my right hand on top press my hands very gentle on her chest.nope nothing happened.i started to cry. Scream at her to breath I hit her on the chest with my fist says that she can't die on me. Trying to open her mouth put my finger in her mouth pushed her tongue down so that air can get in . A loud noise came out .it was like diesel truck
Than her breathing came back Thank God. She said only for you my girl. The daughter was so shocked she couldn't make a call she was shaking so badly rum to the neighbors to help the ambulance arrived the old woman was talking like nothing happened to her. Her other daughters arrived We all went to the hospital

The last moment!!!

We were having lunch, she said "I'm very tired, can I go and lay down,' I looked at her and said to her,sit a little longer ,she said no she's tired 
I took her to the bathroom her walk was so weak .It was like she couldn't make it to the bathroom. She was hanging on me no really hanging on me as if it was important for me to hold her. I felt how weak her hands was. Got her on the toilet her breathing was weak .she called her daughter to come and and help to get up. But eventually she got up.my word I could feel the weakness in her feet. My support was depending on it. We got my the bed. She couldn't turn around.Fell on the bed I try to turn her around
Her eyes  turn black.WFK.What kind colour is that. I have never seen someone with black eyes What doesn't means.am I stupid

She got up have her bath breakfast after I took her back to bed her eyes turned black I got such a fraid i felt the cold ran through my bones πŸ˜³πŸ˜¬πŸ’¨
