Mom and Donna were seated at the table when I arrived. I asked mom if she had to go to the toilet, but she said she was fine. I went to drop off my things. I also wiped down the toilet just in case we needed it. There was poop on the seat.
Meanwhile, Edward had joined the table and Jacquie too. I went to use the toilet and get a tea. When I got back we were chatting. All of a sudden, mom got grouchy. I suspected she had to go to the toilet. This time she answered in the affirmative when I asked her.
We ran to the toilet. It was too late. Mom had diarrhea. She had already pooped in her pants. She was upset. I had a hard time keeping her hands away from the diaper. After I removed the diaper, I noticed that there was poop on her trousers. I had to take off her shoes and remove her trousers. I was worried she might have gotten poop on her shirt and wool sweater too. Luckily the gray wool sweater seemed fine. There were a few flecks on poop on her shirt. The poop wasn't too smelly. I cleaned mom up the best I could. She wasn't very cooperative. She said she was clean and didn't understand why I had to wipe her down. I put a clean pair of diapers on her, put her dirty clothes in the laundry and wiped the toilet down. I shut the door to the room and opened the bathroom door to shield her as she ran to her bed. I got a pair of trousers for her to put on.
We went back for dinner. Mom didn't eat very much. She didn't like the Brussels sprouts, but she would forget that she didn't like them and eat them. She hardly ate her macaroni salad and salmon. I ate everything and the bread pudding too.
I got mom to push Donna back to the room. I brushed mom's teeth. After dinner she kept saying something was stuck in her teeth. A piece of food did come out. I combed mom's hair and looked at her photo book with her. Mom enjoyed it. Donna said she had to go to the washroom so I wheeled her in their and she pulled the cord.
I took mom to play card bingo with Michael and Shanta. Michael was already waiting for us. I got Joe to play with us because I didn't know when Donna would be back. Mom won twice, but she was anxious and kept asking what she was supposed to do. I had to keep telling her to turn the card over.
Donna never showed up. I took mom back to her room. Donna was still sitting there. She hadn't had her diaper changed yet. A male care aide said he would be on it. He had just changed Joan.
I said good-bye to the ladies. Mom walked me to the door of her room and waved.
