Rat!  I just remembered I forgot to change mom's calendar.
I did remember to bring a cheque for meal tickets.  Also, a fingernail brush that Charlene gave me for mom.  I brought mom's walkman.  Turned out that it was the ear phones that were not working.  I used my ipod nano ear buds.  Mom enjoyed the music.
No one was at the dining table when I arrived.  Mom was sitting with Zorka in the fish tank room.  I took her back to her room to toilet her.  Her diaper was clean.  She just peed.  Donna was lying in bed.  She didn't know why she was there.
I took mom back to the dining room.  Edward was there, but Jacquie wasn't there.
We had ham, zucchini and peas and scalloped potatoes.  Mom really enjoyed her apple juice.  She wanted to drink the extra apple juice, but I told her that she had to eat her dinner first.  She ate about half.  She ate all her pureed meat and just a small portion of her pureed veggies.  She ate some of her Jello.  She drank all her Boost and some of her milk and the extra apple juice.
I took her back to the room to toilet her again, but nothing came out. I brushed her teeth, combed her hair, etc.  I took mom for a bit of a walk with the walkman. 
We played card bingo.  I invited Zorka.  It was Michael, Shanta, Zorka and Mom.  As usual mom didn't have a clue, but she was quite talkative.
After the game, I took mom back to the room to toilet her.  She peed a little, but still no poop.  Apparently she hadn't pooped all day. 
We shared an orange.  Mom only ate two segments.
Mom didn't want to stay with Donna so I took her back to the fish tank room.
Shanta was still there so asked her if she wanted to go to her room.  I was taking Shanta back to her room when her son showed up.  He said that the Japanese man had died.  I was surprised because he seemed fine the last time I saw him.  He said that the daughters were worried about the mom now because she is in the same facility.  They are worried about the quality of care.  Mom was growing impatient.  I don't think she likes Alan.  Neither do I.  So I told him we had to be off.  I took Shanta back to her room.  The door was shut so I opened it and mom wheeled Shanta in and then closed the door.  I opened the door so that we could leave and Shanta said she wanted me to leave the door open. I took mom to the washroom, but she said it wasn't necessary. We came back to the fish tank room and we sat with the Chinese lady.  The aide said that mom could have some egg sandwich if I sat with her.  Mom enjoyed the egg sandwich.  I also gave her the banana from dinner and she ate all of that too.  She drank her hot cocoa as well.  I moved mom over to sit with Zorka and then I left.
I saw Jacquie and another lady coming out of the Union Jack Pub.  They went to Tim Horton's to plug in Jacquie's wheelchair.
