Diaper change

Wednesday, November 2, 2017
Everyone was seated at the table when I arrived.  Rudy was there too.  Mom had polished off all of my and her beverages too.  Although she complained that she wasn't hungry, she ate most of her food.  It was shepherd's pie. broccoli, cauliflower and corn.  Dessert was cheese cake.
Jacquie ordered fish, but she didn't get it until we had all finished our meal.
I took mom to the washroom and she had a pee.  She had also peed in her diaper so I changed it. She didn't want to put another diaper on and she was wearing a pair of clean underpants so I let her go without the diaper. Her hair was clean, but quite matted at the back so I combed the front and mom combed the back.
We went through her photo book. 
Donna said she had to take a poo so I informed the care aides.  Finally one responded, but she said she was just going on her break. 
I went to play cards with our smaller group.  Joe joined us today so it was more fun.  The men enjoyed playing with Chris.  Chris enjoyed his dinner.  Unfortunately, he wasn't able to help Rudy with his new phone.
After cards, I went to check in on Donna and she had been changed, but now she was in her pajamas and she didn't want to join us.
Nobody wanted hot cocoa so I had a little sip of mom's and ate a bite of her mandarin orange cake.  We sat around and talked about music in the old days. 
I took mom back to the room for a pee, but she didn't produce any.  I was worried because she wasn't wearing a diaper.  She complained that the toilet seat was too cold.
We sat in the hallway by the nurses' station and sang Japanese folk songs.  A resident told me that she had to take a poo.  I notified an aide.  By the time she got help, she had probably already soiled her diaper.
When it was time to go, mom was a little upset.  I took her back to her room and a nurse was there to give her meds.
