Mom was wearing poopy pants

Tuesday, June 20, 2017
Mom seemed kind of upset.  Apparently the table wasn't set up properly.
I asked her if she wanted to go to the washroom.  At first she said yes, then she said she didn't have to go.  She had a good appetite.  We had baked fish, with rice and mixed veggies.  Dessert was a strawberry tart.  Mom ate everything.  We got some fresh orange sections as well.
She kept trying to eat her lemon wedge which I had already squeezed the juice out of.  I had to keep telling her it wasn't good.
After dinner we went to the washroom and I discovered that she was wearing poopy pants.  She had put tissues on her panties and it was all embedded in the poop.  Yuck!
I removed mom's soiled clothing.  I was at a loss as to what to do with the soiled underwear.  I found a plastic bag and put the underpants in there.  Moisture had seeped through her pants so I put those in the laundry basket. I left mom on the toilet and went to get help from the nurses' station, but they weren't very helpful.  I had to get back to mom quick just in case she got up from the toilet.
A nurse came and I told her I needed something to wipe mom's bum.  She brought me some disposable cloths which I sprayed with something called a moisture spray.  I got mom to clean herself and then I cleaned her bum.  I cleaned around the toilet and the sink. She was naked from the waist down so I got a quilt to wrap around her and got her dressed.  Then we washed out hands.
A care aide came to check on us.  Just then, Donna poked her head out of the washroom.  I could see she was having trouble with the diaper.  I had left the dirty underpants, wipes, etc. in the plastic bag on the floor of the washroom because there was no garbage can.  The care aide found them and I said to just throw everything in the garbage.  I'll have to buy mom some more pairs of underpants.
We went to play card bingo.  Barbara seems to be doing better.  She was playing card bingo.
Betty was sitting at our table.  She kept saying she didn't know what to do and she would rather not play.  I told her that we would help her.
Mom kept forgetting to turn the cards over.  She kept saying it was okay to leave them up.
I went to check mom's chair in the dining room.  It looked okay, but I gave it a wipe anyways.
After cards, I took mom back to the room to take a pee.  Then we went for a walk.  She was in a good mood.  She really enjoyed looking at the flowers.  The evening sunshine made the colours so intense.
