Another good day

Monday, January 21, 2019
Mom had already helped herself to some drinks and rearranged our cutlery.   I brought some bubble wrap for mom to play with.  Donna, Edward and Jacquie were all there.  Mom kept refusing to eat anything.  Finally, after everyone left, she ate about 2/3 of her food including her pureed carrots, potatoes and gravy, vanilla pudding and all of her beverages.
I massaged her legs because they were cold.  Also, mom was slouching.
After dinner, I took mom back to the room to toilet her.  She was reasonably cooperative.  I think the leg massages help.  Also, she may have known she was going to have a bowel movement.  Her diaper was wet, so I removed it.  I put a towel over her legs to keep her warm  I gave her some bubble wrap to keep her occupied.  She produced some poop.  A medium amount.  We were very happy.  I cleaned mom up.
Then we went for a walk to the lobby.  I brought her photo book and a quilt to throw over her legs and keep her warm.  I massaged her legs and propped them up on a chair and then draped the quilt over them.  We looked at her photo book.  She was engaged and happy.
I took mom back to her room. I took her to the washroom one more time, but this time, she insisted that she did not need to use the toilet.  I put her back in the wheelchair, draped the quilt over her legs and took her to sit with Donna in the fish tank room. 
Mom chose bubble wrap over half a banana.  I ate the banana.
