Mom is uncooperative and dopey

Sunday, October 21, 2018
Mom was sitting with Donna and Edward had just arrived.  Mom had drunk both my apple juice and hers. Mom was dozy.  Mom and Donna's food came first.  Mom wasn't eating anything.  I put her hand on the spoon and she started to play with her food, mixing it up.  Then she took a very small taste and made a face.  She kept drifting off to sleep.  I was able to get her drink most of her Boost.
After dinner I took Donna to sit at the nurses station and took mom to her room.  Donna soon joined us.  The aide left Donna at the sink to brush her teeth and wash her face.  Donna was there for a long time.  She asked me to push her back.  The aide was changing Joan's diaper. 
I was trying to get mom to get out of her wheelchair, but mom was not cooperating.  I went through mom's photo book with her.  After the aide was finished with Joan, I tried to get mom out of the wheelchair again.  This time I was successful.  I went to prepare the bathroom and get her diaper. towels, etc.  In the meantime, mom had sat down in a chair and she wouldn't get up.  The aide got mom to get up.  Mom thought she was going to sit in her wheelchair, but I walked her to the washroom.  The aide removed mom's diaper.  I think it was just pee.  I sat her on the toilet, but she didn't do anything.  I just wiped her and put a new diaper on her. 
I took her for a little walk and then brought her back to the room.
