Mom had visitors yesterday

Friday, June 23, 2017
Mom was not sitting at the table when I arrived.  I saw a nurse was escorting her to the table.  She said that mom didn't come to dinner so she had gone to look for her.  I asked the nurse if my mom had been using the toilet, but she said that mom was just in her room.  I asked mom if she needed to go the toilet and she responded in the affirmative.  I took her to use the toilet.  She peed and pooped.  I noticed she wasn't wearing any underpants so I dressed her and put her pants in the laundry.
On the way back to dinner, mom noticed that the horses had been set up.  She seemed excited.
We had Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and apple crumble.  Yum!  We also had a few pieces of orange.  Mom ate everything.  I also gave her a couple of pieces of kombu that Aunti Sumi had brought.  Donna remembered that Aunti Sumi and Aunti Reiko had come to visit.
I took her back to the room, but she said she didn't have to use the toilet.
We went to the horse races.  Mom sat beside Anna and I seated Donna beside her, then Michael came and sat beside Donna.  Anna, mom and Michael all chose horse number 6.  It came in once.  Donna chose horse #5 and it came in first on the first race.  We cheered when someone rolled a 6 which made the game more exciting.
After the horse races, I took mom for a short walk around the enclosed grounds.  She enjoyed looking at the colourful flowers.  When we got back, I trimmed her bangs and then we looked at her photobook together.  Then we went to sit with Anna and Donna and Lorne by the nurses' station.  A nurse brought a chair for mom because another lady was sitting there, but the other lady left shortly after.
