Back from camp

Sunday, July 23, 2017.
Got back from music camp today.  Bus connections were good so I made it in time for dinner.  I hadn't phoned in to make a reservation, but they let me have dinner.  Salmon, mashed potatoes and green and yellow string beans.  Dessert was chocolate cream pie.  Yum!  Mom started on dessert before she finished dinner, but she ate all her dinner and all the food I left behind too.  She had a big appetite today.
Jacquie and Edward were doing their sugar container passing.  Mom let them know she didn't think it was a good idea in Japanese.  Jacquie had sent me a video of mom singing.  They have a Thursday sing-a-long and Ming had found a Japanese video of Sakura so they got mom to sing it.
A nurse stopped me in the hall and she said that she and mom sing together.  She finds it amusing because she sings in a different language and mom sings along.
I took mom for a little walk after dinner.  Suddenly she said she had to go to the washroom.  She took a pee and then strained to take a poo, but was unsuccessful.  I changed her diaper and wiped her bum.  She said her bum hurt. I told the nurse that mom was probably constipated and her bum hurt.
Mom had several pairs of damp underpants in her laundry.  I wonder if she had been washing her pants.
Mom's red comb is missing.
I found a pack of cards in Donna's drawer so I took them back.
We played card bingo.  Everyone was having fun.  A new guy wanted to join us, but the gang did not want him.  Donna kept telling him to go away.  Anna was a little less hostile even though he had said something bad to her in Italian.  He hung around with us until the end.
After cards, the girls went back to the room so I gave them cherries.  Barbara thinks mom is pregnant and is worried about her.  She said that the cherries weren't very sweet compared to her tree that was probably chopped down.  Joan, Donna and mom enjoyed the cherries.
Jacquie gave me her old recorder to try out.
