Mom isn't in her wheelchair

Saturday, August 25, 2018
Mom was sitting at the dining table with Donna when I arrived.  She was not in a wheelchair and she was alert.  She was in a good mood.  She drank some of her apple juice, some of her Boost and a few sips of her milk.  She ate some of her food.  She ate all the pureed spaghetti sauce and one mouthful of the pureed carrot.  She had one teaspoon of pureed strawberry. 
Somehow I knew she had to go to the washroom.  She got up from the chair with no problem and we went to the washroom.  I had already wiped it down earlier when I had arrived.  She had some poop on her diaper so I had to change it.  She did a small poop.
I tried to get her to eat banana and her milk/Boost, but she only had a small sip.
I took her to play cards.  I asked Alan about Shanta and he said he was going to bring her, but he didn't.  I don't know why.  Anyways I asked Zorka and Alister.  Joan and Joe wanted to join, but we already had five players.  Everyone had a good time and thanked me except mom who seemed angry at me the whole time.
After the game I was going to take her back to the room, but she refused.  I went back to her room to put away the cards.  When I got back mom, Donna and Zorka were still sitting at the table.  Zorka was getting mom all riled up.  She has a loud voice and sounds angry which gets mom in a huff.
Mom was willing to go away with me this time.  I toileted her one final time.  I brushed her teeth as she sat on the toilet.  She noticed her teeth were missing so I told her she had to brush her teeth or her teeth would fall out.  I don't know if she understood what I was saying.
I brought her back to sit with Donna.  Zorka was trying to figure out how to unlock Donna's wheelchair, but it was already unlocked.  Mom and Donna were happy to sit together.
