A good day

Wednesday, July 11, 2018
Mom was sitting at the dining table when I arrived.  Donna and Jacquie were there too.  Edward had fallen asleep by the television in the fish tank room.  Shepherd's pie tonight.  It's not as good as it used to be.  After we told a few aides about Edward, one of them went to go and fetch him.  Mom was just playing with her food.  It was like she was pretending to make something for me and then she offered it to me.  I gave her the leftovers of my food.  She started to play with that food too.  I told her that she should eat it, but she seemed puzzled.  I put the spoon in her hand, but she still didn't feed herself.  Finally she let me feed her.  She said it was good.  I felt so relieved.  She ate all my leftovers and a glass of milk. 
I took her to the washroom and she immediately did a huge wet fart, but then she did a poop too.  Hurray!  Her diaper was soiled with a little poop and a lot of pee.  She said something stinks.  I changed her diaper and wiped her bum.  She was very cooperative. 
I brushed her teeth, wiped her face, got her to comb her hair.  She was concerned about her teeth.  She's missing two of them in the front upper left area.
I told her that's because she is not brushing her teeth.
We played cards sans Shanta.  I think Alan is avoiding me.  Hurray!
Michael, Donna, mom and the Chinese lady played.  Joe joined us later.  Zorka wanted to play too.  I guess I could have added her too.  I just didn't think of it.
After the game, Chris wheeled Donna to the nurses' station and Zorka went too.  I asked the other Chinese lady to sit with mom.  Her daughters said that she thought mom was a beautiful and elegant lady.  How nice!
