Poo poo in the pocket

Sunday, December 24th, 2017
Mom and Donna were already seated when I arrived.
I went to drop off my things, check on mom's dying poinsettia, check her toothpaste cap (mine didn't work), put up photo, check laundry hamper, wipe down toilet, etc.
I asked mom if she wanted to go to the washroom.  She responded in the affirmative.  I quickly took her to the visitor's washroom because it is the closest.  Unfortunately she had already soiled her diaper.  I removed her diaper and told her to wait.  Hah!  I rushed to get a diaper and cleaning cloth.  When I arrived, mom had already taken care of things.  I wiped her bum and washed her hands and then took her back to the room to change her diaper and comb her hair.
We got back for dinner.  Salmon, rice and beans.  Lemon meringue pie.  Mom's nose was running so I went to find a tissue.  I looked in her pockets.  I found a paper towel wrapped around toilet paper with poop!  I threw them in the garbage.  You can't take your eyes off her for one second in the bathroom.
Lots of times after she wipes herself with the toilet paper she doesn't know what to do with the soiled tissue.
After dinner I dropped Donna off at the nurses' station.  I brought mom back to the room and brushed her teeth.  We looked at her photo book together and sang some songs.
Then, we went to pick up Donna and go and play cards.  It was fun.  Donna wanted to leave.  I think because she was sitting in a poopy diaper.  She asked me to drop her off at the nurses' station.  I got Irma to take Donna's place.  I think she had fun.
Then, I took mom back to be with Donna and got my coat and things.  Michael went to go and feed the raccoons. Michael was sitting with the girls when I arrived.  He told me that he had put back the table things.  I had totally forgotten.  It was thoughtful of him.
I sat with the girls for a bit and sang some Christmas carols.
