Mom has minced food

Wednesday, March 21, 2018
An aide was sitting with mom when I arrived.
She had a plate of minced food and she was sitting in a wheelchair.
The nurse told me that they had tried to toilet mom, but that mom was angry.
She also told me that the dietitian had prescribed minced food because she was concerned that mom couldn't swallow.
I told her that I had just come back from cleaning poop from the toilet seat in mom's room.
I had also taken clothes from her laundry basket and noted that her underwear had some poop on it.  I threw them in the communal laundry hamper.
I sat with mom and put food on her spoon and put the spoon in her hand.  She ate it, but as soon as the nurse came by, mom refused the food.
I continued to to put food in mom's spoon and put her hand on the spoon and mom ate.  I gave her some of my oven roasted potatoes because they tasted good and she ate them.  I noticed she didn't have any orange sections which are her favourite. 
The nurse said that I could sign a waiver so that mom could eat food that was not minced.
Poor mom.  I gave mom her apple sauce, but she didn't seem to like it.  She liked my apple crisp so I gave her a few spoonfuls of that.
After dinner, I toilet mom.  Her diaper was full of pee.  She did a couple of poops. 
I brushed her teeth.
I walked her back to the dining room to play cards.  It was the usual group.  Mom kept forgetting what to do, but she was mostly engaged.  She even picked out a card that I hadn't noticed. 
Chris asked where mom's wheelchair was.  He felt we should keep her in the chair just in case she fell.  Donna wanted to go back to the room.  I think she wanted to poop.  I pushed the call button for her, but I didn't see anyone respond.  I wheeled mom into the fish tank room.
