Mom's wheelchair is broken

Saturday, January 13, 2019
Mom was sitting in a chair.  One of the residents, a man in a wheelchair, told me that the right brake had fallen off the chair and that the facilities person would repair it the next day.
I gave mom some bubble wrap to play while she waited for dinner.
We had butter chicken.  Yum!
Donna was more interested in her dessert: lemon tart.  But we, Jacquie and I,  told her that she should eat more of her dinner first.  Donna was listing to one side as usual.
I massaged mom's legs and she really liked it.  She thanked me.
She ate a bit.  She drank all her beverages.  She ate all her dessert.  I was delicious.  I think it was lemon and egg whites and lots of sugar. 
I toileted mom.  She had a small poop stuck in her bum.  I combed her hair.  Washed her face with a towel.  Brushed her teeth.  Cleaned under her fingernails.  Massaged her calves.  I did all this while she was sitting on the toilet.  Her diaper was clean.  Larry had told me that.
I took mom for a walk to the lobby and we looked at her photo book.  I propped mom's legs on a chair and massaged them.  She was very happy.
Donna was still sitting in the fish tank room when we arrived.  I got a chair and put mom beside Donna.  I tried to feed her some banana, but she only ate a small piece. 
I asked the nurse how much mom weighed.
43.4 kg on Jan. 9, 2019
95.7 lbs.
