Mom had a fall

Sunday, February 18, 2018
I got a phone call that mom had fallen at approximately 1:45 p.m.  She had a red spot on her knee and maybe by her nose.  When I arrived at St. Michael's mom had just finished an arm exercise activity.  I checked her legs and she did have some redness on her knee.  I didn't notice anything on her face.  The nurses came to check on her.  She seemed fine.  When she got up from the chair, she said her leg hurt.  I pushed Donna in her wheelchair to the nurses' station.  As I walked mom to her room a nurse came up and asked how mom's leg was.  I said that after mom got up from the chair, she said it hurt.  I got mom to her room and was going to clean the toilet, but she started to pull her pants down.  She needed to get to the toilet in a hurry.  I cleaned the toilet, but mom didn't quite make it.  Luckily, most of the poop went in the toilet.  I tried to remove her dirty diaper, but she insisted on helping me.  I got the diaper off and bagged it.  I wiped her clean.  I changed her pants because she had some pee around the waist.  Her diaper was full of pee.
The nurse came and put an ice pack on her leg, but mom didn't really like it. 
I tidied up mom's closet, watered her plants, etc.  I found a half peeled, have eaten orange in her drawer.  I peeled it and pulled off the dried sections on the ends.  She happily ate the orange, but then started to pick at her teeth.  I brushed her teeth.
We went to pick up Donna, but she had already been taken to the dining room.  Mom and I walked around a bit.  Because no one was watching television, I turned it to the Olympic games.  She seemed kind of interested, but easily distracted.  Then we went to join Donna at the dining room table. 
We had turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas and carrots and banana cream pie.  Edward didn't eat his mashed potatoes.  Mom ate most of her meal and her two orange quarters.  She chewed and chewed, but didn't seem to be swallowing.  I wonder if she knew what to do.  She used to spit out fibre, but now she is drinking it down with liquids.  She really likes oranges.  I worry that she will choke. 
After dinner, I took Donna to the fish tank room to watch the Olympic games.  I took mom back to the room and brushed her teeth and toileted her.  Then I brought her to Donna.
