Quarantine

Saturday, January 6, 2017
Mom was upset when I arrived.  Apparently she had just pooped her pants and had been changed.  She was wearing her pajamas.
A-wing is in quarantine.  Jacquie did not join us for dinner.
This flu is a lung flu. 
We had Maryland chicken, mashed potatoes, beans and corn and a mixed fruit cobbler.  Yum!
After dinner mom wheeled Donna to the nurses' station.  Donna wanted a tissue, but there is no tissue for the residents so the aide gave us a napkin. I took mom back to the room to comb her hair, brush her teeth, wash her face, apply Vaseline, etc. 
Then we picked up Donna and played card bingo with our usual group in the television room.  I asked Alan to join us but he preferred to watch the news.
Towards the end of the game, Donna said she had to go to the washroom so I took her.  Of course the aide was on a break.  I went back to the card game and we played two more games.
I went back to the room and Donna was being toileted.  Mom and I sat at the nurses' station.  We did some leg and arm exercises and counted.  I checked in on Donna periodically.  I decided to toilet mom one last time before I left.  Donna was being toileted so I took mom to the washroom next door. She had some skid marks on her diaper so I changed it for her and wiped her bum.  It was clean.  Mom insisted on walking me up to the nurses' station when I left.
