Chrysanthemums

Saturday, March 31, 2018
Mom and Donna were sitting at the dining table when I arrived.  Edward came walking in shortly after.  The aide told me that mom had just had a big poop.
Mom was in a very good mood.  She was singing.  I sang some of my choir songs and she sang her songs.  I didn't see Jacquie today.  Yesterday she told me that she was trying to quite smoking.  She had a big bag of gummies with her.
Mom ate most of her food.  I gave her half an orange.  She chewed and chewed and eventually swallowed all the fibrous bits.  It was stuck in her teeth too.
Donna was having trouble with her cutlery too.  At one point she grabbed her chicken thigh with both hands and took a bite, but then put it to the side.  Maybe it was overcooked.
Edward is very good with the knife and he loves chicken.
Mom ate most of her food.  But she likes oranges the best.  She even gets excited when she sees the peel.  I have to explain that it just a peel and she can't eat it.
After dinner I took mom  back to the room to brush her teeth, wash her face, and toilet her.
She wasn't in a wheelchair today.
Then we went to collect Donna and go and play cards.  Michael was waiting for us in the fish tank room.  Joe joined us too.
After the game, I tried to take photos of mom and Donna.
I bought chrysanthemums for mom and Donna.
