I smell poo

Sunday, November 25, 2018
Donna is sitting alone.  I am just in time to see mom taken to the table.  Apparently, she had a big poop.  I still smell poop.  I take her back to the washroom.  Her diaper has a bit of poop on it.  She also has poop near her hip.  Her bum is clean.  She has poop on her pants around the waist.  I change her pants and her diaper.  I take her back to the dinner table.  Edward is there, but no Jacquie.
I still smell poop.
Mom eats maybe one or two teaspoons of her pureed pumpkin (?).  She eats half a banana.  I feed her the chocolate pudding.  She drinks all her beverages.
Today at dinner, Donna asks several times if she knows mom and asks her name.  I tell her several times that they have been sharing the same table and room for about three years come February.
I peel Donna's banana for her.
Donna's feet and legs are swollen and don't bend properly.
I take mom back to her room.  I get her out of the wheelchair and we get her photo book and go to the lobby.  We sit and go through her photo album.  We pop some bubble wrap together.  We go through the photo album again.
I take her back to the room.  I put a blanket on her legs and wheel her into the fish tank room.  I give her a piece of bubble wrap to occupy her. 
I leave mom's new sweatpants at the nurses' station to be labeled.
I say good-bye.
