Ukulele practice

Saturday, September 9, 2018
Mom was having morning coffee with Donna and some other women.  They were all in wheelchairs.  Jocelyn, Ellen and I headed to the chapel to practice our two songs for Kim's wedding anniversary do.
We had macaroni and cheese for lunch.  Apple sauce for dessert.  Mom hardly ate anything.  Later I was able to drink some of her milk and Boost.
When they wheeled mom over from her table, I could see she was in distress.  Then, I figured out she was crying because she had wanted to sit with her table mates and didn't understand why they were moving her.  She stopped crying and was laughing shortly.  She was happy to see Ellen. 
She coughs when she eats.  I wonder if it's because she doesn't have enough saliva.  But then, she coughs when she drinks as well. 
After lunch, I took mom for arm class.  I tidied up her closet, cleaned the bathroom, etc.  I found socks and a nightgown that did not belong to her.
After the arm exercise I took mom back to her room to toilet her, but she only peed.  I cleaned her bum anyways.  There was some poop there although her diaper was clean.
I took her to join Donna, but they were watching a television program about Princess Diana and she wasn't interested.  I took her back to her room to try and coax her to eat, but she wasn't interested.  I played my ukulele and sang for her and she sang along.  It was fun.
