Change at the dining table

Saturday, January 14, 2017
Mom and Donna were sitting at the table.  Mom was kind of grouchy.  She told me that she was full and wasn't going to drink anything.
Ailene came to join us.  She was angry because there was a chair in her spot.  Edward was on his way to the table.  I called a nurse.  She went to explain to Ailene that she had to eat in a different area for now.  Ailene was really pissed.
Poor Edward.  Jacquie thinks he can't hear.  He can play card bingo better than mom and Donna.
I think he enjoys sitting and eating with us even though he doesn't say anything.  He smiles.
I sensed something was wrong with mom and sure enough she had to go to the bathroom.  I went with her.  She had probably already been reprimanded by Donna for touching the drinks.
Jacquie joined us for dinner.  She said she had been sick and in quarantine.  She still sounded a little hoarse.
We had pork patties with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and carrots and broad beans.  Dessert was a brownie.  Mom ate most of her food.  She didn't eat the brownie.
Back in the room, I looked through Donna's drawers and found maybe 30 paper cups and a half-eaten bag of ketchup chips.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I'll have to remember to check for cards.  Mom is missing a deck of cards.
We played cards with the usual group and then another man wanted to join us.  I don't think he can hear very well and he also doesn't move very well with his wheelchair.  He played 1 and half games with us.  The girls didn't want him to join, but Michael vouched for him.
