Song in Croatian

Wednesday, September 27, 2017
Chicken stir fry, rice and mixed veggies.  Mousse tart.  I had just settled down with tea, gotten my milk and my meal, when mom said something about going to the bathroom.  We made it in time.
Mom had a bowel movement.  She was having some difficulty.  She kept trying to touch her bum and maybe pull out the poo.  I kept trying to distract her by singing.  I got her cleaned up, changed her diaper, etc. 
Mom had been saying she wasn't hungry, but I think it was because she had to take a poo.  Her appetite was fine after we had come back.  Jacquie was already gone.  Everyone had already finished most of their dinner.  Donna had another cup of coffee with us.
I had to move Donna's chair so she could get up.  She had her walker again.  She's gained so much weight.
I put mom's head set on and took her for a little walk.  She was touching her eyes and then I realized she had sleep in them.  I took her back to her room and washed her face with a warm towel.
We played cards with the usual group.  Chris came and then Joe showed up.  It was fun.  At one point Anna got mad about the teasing and folded her cards, but then she started playing again.
We had hot cocoa and an egg sandwich.  Mom ate most of it this time with a little coaxing.  Donna ate a blue berry muffin. 
I brushed mom's hair, helped her brush her teeth, washed her face, took her to the toilet, etc.
We sat in the hallway by the nurses' station.  Everyone asked about Donna, but she was in the washroom.  Mom and Donna are usually inseparable. 
Mom and I sang songs.  Then this lady sang a song in Croatian.  She was a good singer.  She said she enjoyed singing and dancing.
