Mom was sitting with the other girls when I arrived. She was still working on her Boost. In the end, I threw it out. She still hadn't touched it by lunch.
I took mom for a little ride around. I took her to the chapel and tried to ply her with food: fresh raspberries, Cheesies, ice cream cone, orange juice, soft-boiled egg, etc. She ate a few raspberries, Cheesies and I was able to feed her some almost melted ice cream with a spoon! She shoved the Cheesies, in her pants. Later she wrapped the soft boiled egg, raspberries and melted ice cream cone in paper towels and shoved those down her pants. She didn't put up a fight when I removed them. She knew she was busted.
She participated enthusiastically for a bit with the arm class. She was kind of confused about what to do and started asking questions. She was engaged. I took her away because I think she was becoming disruptive and she didn't put up a fuss.
I took her to her room thinking to toilet her. I cleaned up the bathroom in preparation. However, she had other plans. She ended up taking me for a walk. I wonder if she was trying to escape. I kind of felt like she was trying to get rid of me. We walked back to her room and I put her back in her wheelchair. I think she was getting tired. I wheeled her into the dining room to sit with Donna. I gave Donna a big hug. Her hug squeezed the tears from my eyes. Mom looked grouchy. I know she doesn't like public displays of affection. Although she has given me hugs in private.
