Mom's hair looked really greasy. I think they forgot to give mom a shower on Tuesday. I told the nurse.
We had chicken stir fry. It wasn't bad. Mom hardly ate anything. She had drank all her beverages.
I took mom to the washroom and she had a bowel movement.
She wasn't wearing any underwear.
I took mom back to the dining room, but she still wouldn't eat.
We played card bingo. A new guy joined us. It's nice for Michael to have some company, but the two guys were loud.
Alan said that on Monday, Anna got into an altercation with mom. I asked the care aide and she said that Anna got into an altercation with Primo and mom wasn't involved.
Chris came and chatted briefly. Mom didn't drink her hot cocoa and only ate part of her sandwich.
Mom had a pee and a wet fart.
I brushed mom's teeth and washed her face and then sat in the hallway and sang songs with Donna and mom. Anna joined us, but she didn't know the songs.

"New" clothes
Sunday, August 27, 2017
Greek chicken dinner with rice and salad. My favourite. Mom got served last and she was upset although she didn't show it. She kept saying she wasn't hungry. She started eating when everyone else was almost finished. I can see that Edward likes chicken. We had banana cream pie and Boston cream pie for dessert. Yum!
After dinner I took mom for a little walk. When she said she had to go to the washroom, I took her back. Donna was already in the washroom, so I had to take mom to the other washroom. Mom's diaper was full so I changed it.
We played cards. It was fun.
After cards I took Shanta back to Alan. The rest of the group sat together for a few minutes longer.
I cut mom's bangs. Then I tried the shirts that Charlene had given mom. Most of them looked like they would fit; however, they were a bit long.
There was a lot of laundry in mom's basket and it smelled strongly of pee so I just loaded everything into the communal hamper.
Mom didn't drink her hot cocoa so I drank it. She may have eaten her muffin. I didn't see one.
I got mom to brush her teeth and I washed her face with a towel. I put Vaseline on her face because it looked a little dry. I took her for pee. Then I took her to get her hands washed. Then she tried to put soap on her face. I wiped the soap off. No wonder her face was dry.
Alan wasn't ready yet so I sat with mom by the nurses' station and we sang songs together. Anna came to join us.

Maryland chicken with baked potato wedges and green beans. Strawberry shortcake. Yum! They served mom before me so she kept insisting she wasn't hungry. I don't know why they don't serve the whole table first. Jacquie said she would bring it up at the next meeting.
Edward was MIA so we brought it to the attention of care staff. He really liked his chicken.
Donna was wearing a dress today. Mom said Donna's legs looked fat. Donna asked me what mom said so I said that she was wearing a nice dress. Both Donna and mom have gained a lot of weight.
I bought mom a new orchid today. She likes it.
We played cards with the gang. Chris arrived around 6:15. Michael wasn't winning and I discovered that his card had been left in the box. Yikes! He won the next couple of games. All the ladies liked Chris and flirted with them. Mom was really happy to see him. I guess I'm chopped liver.
I couldn't find mom's album. Barbara had it in her drawer. She said that mom should be proud of her heritage.
The nurse gave mom her medication, but she had trouble taking it. She was trying to chew the pill. I told her to drink water, but it took her a bit to finally swallow it.
After hot cocoa (mom hardly had any) I took mom back to the room to use the toilet, brush teeth, wash face, etc.
I got a ride home with Alan.

Stale cookies for coffee
Tuesday, August 22, 2017
Took the day off from work.
Visited mom at coffee time.
Mom and Donna were still in their room, but on their way out.
We sat with Michael because their usual table was occupied.
Norman, the volunteer, joined us.
Mom had to go to the washroom so I took her. Her diaper was dry.
She had a shower today so her hair wasn't tangled.
But her bum was full of tissue paper.
I had to clean her bum.
She felt relieved. She probably didn't know why she was so uncomfortable.
Her diaper was dry.
I was going to take her for a walk, but they were having an arm class. I took mom to the arm class.
I went to get Donna. She was taking a long time so I told her to sit in her walker and I pushed her.
That worked well. Poor Donna. She was happy to join once she got there, but I think she's in a lot of pain.

Sunday
Sunday, August 20, 2017
Mom had already eaten most of her dinner when I arrived and she didn't want to eat the food I bought from Fujiya :( She didn't even want to eat her salmon.
Jacquie's boyfriend was there. But we found out he is a racist :( I wonder if Jacquie will break up with him. He seemed like such a nice guy.
I took mom to the washroom and she did a poop. I changed her wet diaper. This time I changed her into a new diaper instead of new underpants. She did protest, but relented.
Barbara and Donna looked at mom's photo album. Barbara was asking mom if she had ever had children before. She still thinks mom is pregnant. I used the photo album to show her when I was a baby, but she wondered where the baby had gone. I told her that I had grown up and was now old.
We played card bingo. It was fun.
After card bingo we went back to the room because Donna had to use the toilet. I gave mom a hug and said good-bye to everyone. Mom walked me to the bedroom door.

Lazy saturday afternoon
Saturday, August 19, 2017
I arrived at 3:00 p.m. There was a whole group of people watching "Titanic." I went to mom's room and mom and Donna were lying in their beds. I asked mom if she needed to go to the bathroom and she responded in the affirmative. I had to change her diaper because it was soaked and there was poop as well. I put the diaper in a plastic bag and put it in the garbage. I wiped mom's butt and put her in clean underwear. Mom was happy.
I put a head set on her and took her for a little walk to the garden outside. Donna said she was too tired to get out of bed although she did try. I lifted the head of the bed for her so she could be more comfortable. When we got back, Donna was getting out of bed and putting her slippers on.
I washed mom's face and took the head set off. Then took her to sit with Donna by the nurses' station. Anna was there too.

Donna fine, Jacquie back
Tuesday, August 15, 2017
We had crusted baked fish, sliced baked potatoes and boiled carrots. The potato was very good. Cherry tart for dessert. Mom liked the cherry tart. She ate it before her main course, but in the end she ate everything.
Jacquie was going out a bit too much with her new boyfriend. She needed a rest.
Donna looked fine. She probably has pain because of her arthritis.
We sang the Sound of Music and Eidelweiss together.
Everyone enjoyed it.
I took mom to the washroom. She did a poop and a pee.
Her underwear looked okay; however, I suspect she had changed already because I saw a pair of underpants in the bathroom. I didn't examine them too carefully, but I put them in the laundry hamper.
We played card bingo with Ming. Mom won a bag of potato chips.
I took Shanta back to Alan. He said he was going to a festival at Royal Oak so I decided to go home on my own.
I took mom to her room for one last pee and then I sat her with Donna at the nurses' station. Anna was no where in sight.
And I got my scissors, bag, nail clippers, etc. back again.

Sunday 13 August 2017
Jacquie in the hospital and Donna fell
Sunday, August 13, 2017
Reconstituted pork cutlet, sauerkraut, assorted beans, mashed potatoes and gravy. Boston cream pie for dessert. Halfway through the meal, somehow mom let me know she had to go to the toilet. We hurried and we made it. She even took a poop. I got her cleaned up and we went back to finish dinner. Jacquie wasn't there.
I put the Walkman on mom and we went for a walk. Then we gathered up the group and played card bingo without incident. Mandy asked me to let her know when we finished.
After the game I took Shanta back to Alan.
The rest of the gang chatted for a bit and then Michael left. We had hot cocoa and sandwiches. Anna likes the egg sandwich. Mom got a cheese sandwich.
I asked Anna if she knew what had happened to Jacquie and she said Jacquie was in the hospital. She thinks she fell.
After the snack, I took mom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Someone was getting a smelly diaper changed in Shanta's room so Alan had to delay putting his mom to bed. I went back and changed mom into her nightgown and took her for a last pee. I clipped her bangs too.
Donna fell. She was okay. I called the nurse. Two other aides came. It all seemed to take a long time. She said she went to get her slippers from the closet and she fell. She was rubbing her right hand. I hope Donna is okay. She seems very sensitive to sunlight and she can't seem to see very well.
We didn't leave until after 8:00 p.m.
Alan said that mom and Anna were sitting at the nurse's station until 8:30 pm.

Shepherd's pie, broccoli and cauliflower, cheesecake with blueberry sauce.
Mom ate everything.
Everyone liked my dark pink dress.
Took mom for a pee and she did a little poop.
She wasn't wearing underpants.
Her pants had poop stains.
Changed her. Wiped her bum. Put on the Walkman and took her for a walk.
She was happy.
Came back and played card bingo with the gang.
Drank our "white wine" together.
Then we had hot cocoa and a muffin. Mom and I shared. We both ate a small portion.
Mom was wearing an undershirt with her shirt unbuttoned. She said she was warm.
After the snack, I took her to the washroom again. Helped her brush her teeth and then brought her back to sit with Donna and Anna.
Got a ride back from Alan.
He asked me if I wanted to go for a beer, but I declined.

Monday 7 August 2017
Singing and dancing cat.
Monday, August 7, 2017
Fried chicken, oven fried potatoes, broccoli. Mom's chicken was chopped up. She didn't have a dessert. I gave her a Yakult yogurt drink and some of my fried rice. Edward ate most of his chicken. Jacquie ate with her boyfriend.
Charlene donated a singing and dancing cat. I showed it off to a few tables. Everyone enjoyed it. I dropped it off at the nurses' station.
I took mom to the washroom and changed her diaper.
Her hair looks really greasy. Her bath day is Tuesday.
We played cards. Anna had a fit and threw her cards across the table. She and Michael were teasing each other and then Donna joined in. We just laid Anna's cards out and played them while she was gone. She usually comes back and tells us that she went to the washroom.
After cards we sat and drank water pretending it was white wine.
Then, we got served hot cocoa and cheese sandwiches.
I put mom's walkman on and I took mom out for a little walk around the grounds. Then I took her to the toilet and helped her brush her teeth. I gave her a book to read when I left.

Sunday 6 August 2017
Hot cocoa
Sunday, August 6, 2017
Beef and cheese macaroni casserole, mashed potato and gravy and assorted frozen veggies. Banana cream pie for dessert. Yum!
Mom liked her pie too.
I asked Jacquie about the concert yesterday. It was good, but she had left early because she had a karaoke date at the legion with her new boyfriend.
After dinner, took mom to the washroom. She did a small poop. I changed her underpants because she told me they were wet. I changed her pants too because they smelled like pee. I changed her top too because she was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt. She likes the new short-sleeved cotton peach-coloured shirt I bought her.
We read a little from the Japanese book. The story about the Ants and the Grasshopper. Mom's hair actually looks like it is being combed recently. I wonder if it was because I told the nurse.
The nurse today knew where some of the lost and found items were, but we couldn't find my mom's stuff.
We played cards with the gang. It was fun.
After cards, I gave everyone a small cup of water. They pretended they were having white wine.
I showed Anna mom's photobook, but Anna was only interested in the baby pictures.
I was getting a ride from Alan so I had cocoa and cheese and crackers with the girls. Mom said she didn't want hers so I ate half her cheese and cracker sandwich and half her hot cocoa.
Mom's front bottom teeth don't look so good. None of the dentists have said anything. I guess they must be okay.

Afternoon Concert
Saturday, August 6, 2017
There was a concert going on when I arrived. Mom and Donna were there. I went to mom's room, watered the plants, checked the laundry, checked her toothbrush and toothpaste, wiped the toilet seat, etc. Barbara was sitting all by her lonesome so I asked her if she wanted to come and see the singer. She didn't seem too enthused. She said that she had just heard that her oldest grandchild was getting married. She said she wasn't going to be involved. I took her out to the dining room to see the singer. She enjoyed the concert and seemed happy to be there.
The singer was singing "Let's do the twist" and one of the care aides was dancing so I danced too. I grabbed onto mom's hands to dance, but she started giggling and wouldn't get up to dance.
After the concert, I told the gang we would play cards after coffee. I gathered them all up. I took mom to the washroom. She did a little poop.
I checked in on Anna. She said she would come to play cards, but not coffee.
Anna spilled her coffee as she was making her way to our table to play cards. By the time I came back with paper towels, she was already wiping it up with a bib. Luckily she didn't spill on Michael. It was a close call.
We had a good time.

Friday 4 August 2017
Still no scissors
Friday, August 4, 2017
I arrived late because the 4:55 bus never showed up. Luckily I was able to catch a bus at 5:09; however, that one was delayed because a walker had to be loaded.
Mom and the gang had already finished their meals. It was ginger pork, rice, beans and jello.
Mom wanted to take a pee so I took her to the bathroom. By the time I got her little step stool she had pooped a small ball and was already wiping her bum. I put her back on the toilet with the step stool but no more came out. She wasn't wearing any underpants. She had probably discarded her soggy diaper at some point. I changed her underpants and put on a clean pair of pants.
I sat her down for the horse races. Mom won twice and so did Shanta. Mom didn't want to eat her chocolate.
While mom was at the horse races I went to inquire about mom's scissors. The nurse said she didn't know where the lost and found was. The nurse who called me after I complained to the coordinator told me to ask a nurse on duty where the lost and found was. In fact that nurse told me that Fraser Health had confiscated it. I asked her why they didn't give them back to me. That nurse just pissed me off.
After the horse races, mom, Donna and Anna tossed the balloon around.
Anna started crossing her eyes. Mom laughed so hard she started to choke.
I gave the girls some water to drink.
I took mom back for another pee and gave her, Joan and Barbara some cherries. Donna was still trying to get back to the room. I took mom for a little walk while Donna was in the toilet. Mom really like the colourful flowers.
Then the girls sat and chatted for a bit by the nurses' station.

Tuesday 1 August 2017
Scissors and nail clippers are missing
Tuesday, August 1, 2017
Dinner was stuffed pork roast, mashed potatoes, zucchini, and cherry cobbler. Edward had a hard time cutting up and eating his meat. I offered to cut up his meat, but he declined my offer. I cut some pieces anyways. He may have eaten a few pieces. He left dinner earlier than usual. Usually, he's the last to leave. He's awfully thin.
I took mom to the washroom. She did a poop. I changed her diaper and put her into regular underpants. I cleaned her bum. Mom and Donna were both dressed in long sleeves and today was really hot. Donna said she was hot, but mom seemed okay.
I wanted to clip mom's bangs because they were getting long. I couldn't find mom's scissors and nail clippers or the bag they were in. I reported it to the nurses' station, but I doubt that will lead to anything.
Tonight was card bingo. After bingo I took Shanta back to Alan and he offered me a ride home. I tossed a balloon around with mom, Donna and Anna. It was fun, but Donna said she was too hot.
Mandy asked us to sit at the nursing station so that she could keep an eye on Anna.
I mentioned to her that the scissors I used to cut mom's hair were missing. She brought me a pair of scissors and helped me cut mom's hair for a bit. She abandoned me at one point to help a resident, I hope. Mom spilled some of the hair on herself.
Mandy seems really lazy. I saw her sitting, talking on the phone, with her feet up on the sink. Now, that is not sanitary. She's on her phone a lot. She's either talking or texting.
When I was changing mom's diaper, she took off.
I asked her once to have mom's top labeled. I waited a long time for the top to come back. I mentioned it to her. Then, one day I saw it in the lost and found unlabeled.
Alan says there are too many staff and they are lazy.
He comes to see his mom 5 times a week and stays from lunch until past dinner.
Dinner was stuffed pork roast, mashed potatoes, zucchini, and cherry cobbler. Edward had a hard time cutting up and eating his meat. I offered to cut up his meat, but he declined my offer. I cut some pieces anyways. He may have eaten a few pieces. He left dinner earlier than usual. Usually, he's the last to leave. He's awfully thin.
I took mom to the washroom. She did a poop. I changed her diaper and put her into regular underpants. I cleaned her bum. Mom and Donna were both dressed in long sleeves and today was really hot. Donna said she was hot, but mom seemed okay.
I wanted to clip mom's bangs because they were getting long. I couldn't find mom's scissors and nail clippers or the bag they were in. I reported it to the nurses' station, but I doubt that will lead to anything.
Tonight was card bingo. After bingo I took Shanta back to Alan and he offered me a ride home. I tossed a balloon around with mom, Donna and Anna. It was fun, but Donna said she was too hot.
Mandy asked us to sit at the nursing station so that she could keep an eye on Anna.
I mentioned to her that the scissors I used to cut mom's hair were missing. She brought me a pair of scissors and helped me cut mom's hair for a bit. She abandoned me at one point to help a resident, I hope. Mom spilled some of the hair on herself.
