Canada Day!

Saturday, July 1, 2017
Mom and Donna were sitting with two gentlemen having coffee and cake.  One man had fallen asleep, but he woke up.  Mom was feeling uncomfortable because she had nothing to offer me.  She had already eaten her cake and most of her tea.
She had been saying something and gesticulating when I arrived, but when I asked her what she was saying, she couldn't remember.
Lorne said that they had admired her ring.
She's still wearing that blue ring.  I have to remember to take a photo of it.
She had to go to the washroom so I took her away.  She let a little leak so I had to change her underpants.
I found her blue nightgown and undershirt.  I hadn't taken them in for labeling yet.  I had taken a different shirt and nightgown.  Anyways she likes the blue nightgown.  I hope it gets labeled soon.
I took mom and Donna for a little walk within the confines of the fence.  Mom kept remarking that the flowers were so beautiful.  Donna is having more and more difficulty walking even with her new shoes.  She has trouble getting up from a chair too.
I put mom's head set on while Donna was in the washroom.
Then I took them to sit with Lorne at the nurses' station.
I talked to one of the care aides.  She said that mom was happy and easy to care for and Donna too. She said they have both gained a lot of weight.  She said most of the residents lose weight and waste away.
