January 3, 2009: GDBAD

That Sat afternoon, Dad picked up my supper at KFC for ordering a box of popcorn chicken and then dropped me off at Easter Seals where I was having a deaf club meeting but about 10 minutes later, our meeting was cancelled cuz not enough members to show up.  We chatted.  2 of members left early for going out to eat.  I stayed there.  After members and guests arriving on time, we were going to play a Bingo that night.  My deaf friend, Jo, was very, very busy taking care of her mother who is in the wheelchair and has a Alzheimer's disease during the game.  Poor Jo.  I sometimes noticed Jo is very stressful and having a difficult life at home.  She's living in the house with her mother and her deaf, mental retardation brother, Bill.  I can hear Jo's mother kept coughs alot and I didn't see Jo's mother vomitting all over her pants.  Poor Mother.  So, Jo had to take her mother to the restroom but when Jo came back and informed me the restroom is mess.  She also said I should use another restroom on the other side of Easter Seals.  I understood.  Then Jo decided to take her mother home early cuz her mother isn't feeling well.  Amy and I agreed each other that Jo's mother should be putting up in the nursing home so it would give Jo a break.  I do recall hearing about the nursing home had turned down an application for Jo's mother to enter it about last year or so.  Jo complained about the nursing home.  Anyways, I didn't win but at the end of game, I won a door prize, a candlelight.  And then Dad picked me up for going home.
