Mom unties balloon for me

Friday, June 2, 2017
Mom was happy and surprised to see me.
She wondered why she wasn't being served.
This was a good sign.  This meant she was hungry.
They had happy hour today.  Mom didn't seem to remember any of it.
We had lemon chicken, rice and beans.  Dessert was tapioca pudding.
Most ate most of her meal.  Although she said she didn't like the tapioca pudding, she ate it.
After dinner we went back to the room to use the toilet.
Mom's underwear was soiled so I had to change her.  She wasn't wearing diapers.
Donna came back in distress.  She said she felt sore all over.  The nurse put her to bed.
She was sneezing so I got her tissues out from the closet and gave her a glass of water.
I wonder if she caught a cold.
I took mom to play with foam sticks and balloons.  The residents are seated in a circle and they are given foam sticks which they use to hit balloons which are tossed their way by staff.  It's a good workout and the residents seem to enjoy it - except for Anna who decided she was going to take off. They are keeping an eye on her because they don't want her to fall again.  Anna came back to play.
After the game, I asked if I could have one of the balloons.  I took mom out to the entrance hall and Anna followed us.  I had them sit in chairs and then we passed the balloon between us.  Mom and Anna were having a gas.  Mom laughed so hard she peed herself and then she started coughing so I had to take her back to her room.
I had to return the balloon deflated, but I had trouble untying the knot.
Mom took it from me and untied the knot.
The nurse intercepted us because he wanted to weigh mom.  She weighs 59.8 kilos! 131 lbs.
I took mom back to the room and she took a pee.  I changed her underwear.  Gave her a tissue to blow her nose and gave her a some water and a couple of vitamin D pills.
I took her back out to the fish tank room to sit with Shanta.
