Mom's Birthday

Saturday, October 27, 2018
Mom was sitting with Donna and Edward when I arrived.  I noticed that my place had not been set.
Mom had already drunk her beverages. 
I noticed mom had poop in her finger nails.  She noticed too and started to pick at her nails.
When her food came, she refused to eat.  She refused her Tylenol, but finally she succumbed. 
I brought some red bean paste and mixed it with a little creamer.  She refused to eat it at first, but once she tasted it, she was amenable to eating it.  She even ate a little of her dinner, but not much. She ate half a banana. 
After dinner I could smell poop and mom even pointed to her nether regions.  Sure enough, mom had filled her diaper.  I had to change her trousers too.  Unexpectedly, the aide offered to help me. I told her that I was fine.  She even thanked me.  That has never happened before.  Obviously someone new. 
I tried to clean mom's nails with the finger brush, but in spite of soaking, very little came out.
I combed mom's hair and trimmed her bangs.  Mom's hair was so tangled.
I tidied up mom's closet.
I found a pair of socks and a shirt that did not belong to her.
Suddenly mom became very tired. I was going to take her for a walk, but she refused to budge.  I had her lie down and I put a quilt on her.
Donna had already been put to bed.
