Yesterday I had a telephone talk with the supervisor. She had seen the TV-news with the fire report from 2012. The year 2012 was the year with the most burnt houses and apartments, in no other year so many houses and apartments had been destroyed by a fire. A very good girl-friend from us had lost her house by a fire in November and the brother of a further friend had lost his house in December...
The house management could have terminated the lease agreement with my mother also due to odor nuisance, if there wouldn't have been the fire in June. Noise pollution is another reason to terminate a lease agreement, our own neighbors above have suddenly moved out, after they had their very loud washing-machine running each night. The incontinence of my my mother has become much worse in May, she had severe diarrhea on the day, when she had fallen at home on the carpet. The nursing home should finally repair the windows in her room, each visit is painful for me. Mostly I have to go away earlier than I had planned. I say "I have to go home now", and then I leave the room and I run to the balcoon behind the community space. I get already a nausea, if I think about it, and I don't want to vomit...
In July the official doctor has discovered an age dementia, when he examined my mother. The supervisor has told me, my mother will not recognize her own children anymore some day, it can happen in a few months or years. Some other old people can also become very aggressive, an old man had pelted each visitor with objects in his last months. But in this case I would strike very soon...
I cannot tell my friends "I want to make a big tour with You next weekend". The next terrible telephone call can come everytime, maybe I have to go somewhere else at short notice, and then I have to cancel my plan with the tour. I have to live with that for many weeks, months or years. But if I make a visit in a hospital and the weather is very good, then I can stop at a station near a lake on the way home, of course. I had visited a lake 3 times in May, the third time I walked around the lake. I know the lake since more than 40 years now. In my childhood there were also therapy horses near the restaurant at the lake, last year I didn't see them anymore. Long tours are not possible for me anymore for a very long time, but maybe short tours, although I cannot plan a tour. Then it must be very spontanously...
