Mom only weighs 35.9 kilos

Saturday, April 13, 2019
Mom only weighs 35.9 kilos.  Today she was scratching.  She still refuses to eat.  She is quite feisty.
I don't think the doctor cares.  I remember he was only interested in me signing the do not resuscitate order.  I called numerous times and received no answer.  I called about mom's constipation and nether regions.  Not a word.
I wonder if mom is not eating because she doesn't want to poop.
I think she has bum problems.  She has no padding on her bum and she sits all day in the wheelchair.
Poor mom.  I wonder if they give her a donut to sit on?
I spent two hours trying to get her to eat.  I made miso soup and ojiya (rice, egg, and stock made from kombu and katsuobushi).  She took a sip and ate a quarter of a teaspoon and that was it.  She drank her apple juice.  I squeezed orange juice for her and she didn't seem to like it that much.  She drank very little of her Boost.  She ate maybe one and a half cheesies.
The nurse said that mom didn't have a poop for six days.
I just looked on-line and I think that mom is probably in pain.  Poor mom.  The nurse I talked to said that she will ask the doctor on call to give her pain medication via an injection.
The nurse said that she herself had never had experience with Alzheimer's.
I feel very emotional now.  I wonder how long mom will live.  Poor mom.  I feel so sorry for mom.  She is trying so hard.  She is misunderstood.  The staff and the medical personnel don't seem to understand Alzheimer's.
