Mom didn't go to the hospital for x-rays

Monday, July 8, 2019
I called St. Michael's early this afternoon and received a call-back 45 minutes later.  Mom did not go to the hospital.  She did not have pain killers.  She could cross her legs and did not require the lifter to be toileted.
When I arrived, mom was sitting at the dining table with everyone.  She looked unhappy and her face looked sunken.  She didn't smile much today.
Larry, one of the aides told me that she had a lot of poop.  He said it was running down her legs into her shoes.  I had heard from one of the nurses that mom had not had a bowel movement for 4 days on Sunday.  Poor mom.  It must have been an ordeal for her and the aides.
Mom ate some Cheetos.  She had a tiny lick of her meal and her dessert.
She ate a bite of banana, some grapes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, egg.  She drank all of her fortified beverage.  She ate 1/8th of a sandwich.  I gave her a small piece and then she rolled it up into a ball and put it in her mouth.  She chewed on it for a long time. 
Mom did not smile once. 
She enjoyed the bubble wrap, but she was serious.
I put the headset on her and she seemed to enjoy that.
She seemed pretty pissed off. 
A doctor will check her again tomorrow.
