A near miss

Tuesday, April 19, 2016
Had dinner with mom and the gang. 
Mom waited at the table until Donna came to pick her up.
Donna was taking a long time in the washroom.  Mom was anxious.
I told mom I would find another washroom for her.
One of the nurses let us use the shower room.
After card bingo, Mom and Donna went to use the washroom again.
This time Gerry was in the washroom.
Donna was anxious so I asked a support worker who said we could use the washroom next door.
Donna used the toilet first and then my mom, but this time things were not so urgent.
Anyways I now know of two washrooms we can use.  The shower room is usually locked.

Accident

April 10. 2016
Yesterday, I dropped off some warmer weather clothes for mom to be labeled.  I had lunch with her as well.  After the soup, mom said she had to go to the bathroom.  She didn't come back for a long time so I went to investigate.  When I got to her room, I saw that someone else had been in the bathroom and thought, mom had to wait for someone so that's why she was taking so long.  Anyways mom was really taking a long time.
When I finally opened the door, mom was washing her underwear in the sink.  She said her pants were fine.  We went back to finish our lunch.
Today when I was doing the laundry, I noticed her underwear had a dark stain.  I think it was poop.  Yikes!  Poor mom.  If I tell her to just go and use another toilet, I wonder if she would remember.
