Mom is contrary

Sunday, January 27, 2019
No Jacquie today.  Mom had already drunk most of her beverages.  She was not going to eat anything.  After I had my dinner, I tried to get her to eat and she was cooperative.  I don't know if she was afraid of the black aide or if she saw Donna being fed and decided to cooperate.  Anyways mom ate 2/3 of her food, all her pureed peach(?) and an extra apple juice.  Food wise it was the most she has eaten with me for a long time. 
Mom was very uncooperative regarding the toilet.  First, she wouldn't get out of the wheelchair.  She stuck her feet out into the air, but wouldn't put them on the ground.  The aide helped me get mom out of the chair.  She pulled mom's arms from the front.  She walked me to the toilet.  Mom wasn't going to cooperate, but the aide got her pants and diapers off and sitting on the toilet.  Mom's diaper had skid marks.  Nothing came out of mom that I could see.  I had a towel draped over her thighs and put an extra jacket on her to keep her warm.  I tried to get her to stand up, but she wouldn't cooperate.  I waited outside for a few minutes and then finally she stood up, but she wouldn't let me wipe her and she wouldn't let me put her diaper on.  I walked her to her bed, sat her down and showed her the diaper.  Finally, I got her to stand up, so I could put the diaper on. 
We walked to the lobby and we looked at her photo book.  She seemed calmer.  I walked mom back to her room and put her in her wheelchair.  I wheeled her to the fish tank room.  Zorka and Irma were there, but they aren't mom's favourite people.
