Mom refuses to eat

Sunday, June 3, 2018
Haven't seen mom for more than a week.  I had a bad cold. 
It looked like mom was scolding someone when I arrived at 4:00 p.m.  I think the woman had something under her nose.  Donna was sitting at the table too.  She was wearing a new dress. 
I took mom back to her room and toileted her.  Her diaper looked relatively clean.  I trimmed her bangs and washed her face.
I found a pair of pants with mold growing on it.  Gross.  Lots of pee soaked clothing.  I put them all in the communal laundry hamper. 
There were a few "new" nightgowns in mom's closet.
I gave mom a mandarin orange to peel and eat.  She put two sections in her mouth and realized it was too much.  After that she asked me to help her.  She spit out the fibrous bits.
We went over her photo book together.  I took mom for a little walk.  She was quite talkative.
We had ham and scalloped potatoes for dinner.  Mom was not interested in her dinner.  She was refusing to eat her food.  She told me to eat it.  She drank her apple juice, her Boost and ate her Jello dessert.  She barely touched her pureed food.  She asked me if I had children.  I told her that I was her daughter.  I don't know if she understood me.  She was way more talkative than usual today.  She was even joking about stealing my apple juice. 
After dinner we went back to her room and I toileted her, brushed her teeth, etc.  Today she had no clue what to do with the toothbrush even after I demonstrated for her.
We played card bingo with the usual group. 
Mom was unsure of herself and kept her hands under the table, but her competitiveness eventually got the better of her and she started asking if she could flip certain cards.  She could guess the suit but not the number.
After the card game everyone went to watch Titanic.  Shanta said she wanted to go to her room.
