Ailene isn't at our table any more. Edward has joined us. I'm not sure what is wrong with him. He plays card Bingo okay, but he doesn't seem to talk.
We had lemon chicken, beans, rice and tapioca pudding for dessert. It was yummy.
We all enjoyed our meal.
After the meal we went back to the room to use the toilet.
I don't think mom washes her hands every time she uses the toilet any more.
I watered mom's plant, but Donna's was very wet.
Mom's oranges were all gone, so I replaced them. I hope she's eating them.
Mom's toothbrush was also gone. It was in Mary's drawer again. I wrote a note and left it in the toothbrush drawer. I put her toothpaste and toothbrush on her nightstand and there is another set in her drawer. The care aide doesn't know how this happens.
Mom had laundry. I put her clothes back in the drawers because they looked and smelt clean.
There was one pair of poopy pants that I put in the communal hamper. I took the underwear home to wash.
Mom and Donna went to the horse races. Donna won once and mom won twice. Anna won once and gave her chocolate to Donna. There was a new black woman who had difficulty understanding what to do. Mom was impatient with her.
Neil, the new guy who likes to eat, left in a huff. Ming was able to divert him a couple of times, but Neil was getting upset. Maybe he had to go to the washroom. He didn't even want to take his walker.
George was grouchy too and even tried to kick Ming. Shanta was in the tv room with her son watching the news.
After the horse races we went back to the room to use the washroom again. Donna is having trouble with her bladder, I think. She may just be incontinent. She's wearing diapers.
I helped Mary phone a family member. She kept telling the care aide to dial 3, but the care aide didn't understand that it was a speed dial number so I just dialled for her. Then Barbara, mom's new roommate needed help getting to the sink so I helped her.
I gave mom a new piece of bubble wrap. We laughed. Donna just rolls her eyes.
I told Donna to go to the TV room and that we would join her later.
I went through mom's photo album with her.
Then we went to go and join Shanta in the fish tank room. We met Donna on the way. She was going to the bathroom again.
