Donna doesn't want to play

Sunday, March 11, 2018
I arrived at about 5:15.  Mom had eaten a bit of dinner with help.  I cued her by filling her spoon with food and then guiding her hand to it.  She ate most of her food.  She ate the orange sections by herself.  She held the section in her hands, holding back the peel and ate the fruit. 
Roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies.  Lemon meringue pie for dessert. Yum!
After dinner, I toileted mom.  She took a small poop.  I washed her face, put Vaseline on the dry spots, brushed her teeth, etc.  I remembered to water her African violet.
We played card bingo with 12 cards each today.  Donna didn't want to play.  She wanted to sit and chat with Joe and Anka.
I had to keep placing mom's hands on the cards to cue her to turn them over.
After cards I sat mom with the gang at the nursing station.
