--000000000000d7721005c3bb5b1e Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tim, (without my mother) I just sent a note regarding a consultation. Here are some things to know about my parents, in no particular order: - They are mostly english non-native speakers in Canada over 50 years. They understand french well. - Both are university professors. My mom is retired from McGill my dad is still a professor at Uof Montreal. - My mom is from Moscow. My dad from the Czech Republic. They eat eastern european foods, mostly. - My mom is bipolar, more or less medicated. She is strong willed but very generous and kind. She is set in her ways. She's 5'. She is charming, engaging, gregarious - My dad is blind the last 5-6 years. He's 5'11. he's easy going though a bit stubborn. He's is generally charming. - My mom suffers because of lack of sleep because her sleep is interrupted by my dad, endless phone and beeps. - My dad has a CLSC case worker, Lili Kishishian (Cote St Luc), and for now has someone 2x week to bathe him. - My mom has a dachshund, "Dasha". - I am an only child. - My mom is hard of hearing but no hearing aids. - My mom will prefer not having someone from the west indies or africa - the sing song is hard for her to understand. She has a long-time Filipi= no house keeper and is ok with that accent. A fluent english speaker is essential. - My dad is bigger and heavier, so maybe a man would be better than a woman. I hope this is helpful. Thank you. -Sacha 8477380866 On Tue, Jun 1, 2021 at 10:51 AM Timothy Thomas wrote: > Hi Sacha, > > Thank you for clarifying your mothers care needs.
