She's alive!

Sunday, July 7, 2019
When I came in at 1:00, the tables had not been cleared from lunch.  I saw that mom had ice cream and her Boost.  Her vegetable soup was still there and I planned to feed her, but she would have none of it.
I was so relieved to see mom sitting with Donna at a table in the fish tank room.  Mom had spilled all of her juice.  I took her to her room to change her.  I was able to change her top, but not her pants.  She had a tube attached to her arm.  I shoved a towel down her pants to absorb water.
I brought her back to the table and gave her some bubble wrap to play with.  She was quite agitated.  I also clipped her nails.  The nail clippers were not working well.  I should file her nails tomorrow.
The nurse told me that she had awoken early and was sitting on the side of the bed with her legs dangling.  She was not given any more pain medication.
Apparently, she did not come to until 10:00 pm at which point she was given some Boost and some apple juice.
The doctor dropped by and recommended that mom go for x-rays.
Mom did not seem to be in any pain, but she did grimace when I moved her right leg.
She was crossing her legs with her left leg on top of her right leg.  I uncrossed them.
I gave mom Hiroko's cookie and she loved it.
She ate Cheetos, cucumbers, Laughing cow cheese, baby tomatoes, grapes, and an egg.
I peeled the egg for her, sprinkled salt and placed it in front of her.  She grabbed the egg and tried to peel it.  Finally, she bit into it.  She ate the yolk and some of the white.  I placed pieces of food in her palm and she eventually ate most of her food.
