Mom likes bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Sunday, October 6, 2019
Mom was sitting with Edward at the dining table when I arrived.  Jackie arrived shortly after.
Mom wanted to take Edward's apple juice, but I thwarted her efforts.  She was mad.  She was still angry when I gave her her own juice.  She drank some but said it stank. 
She ate very little of her meal.  At one point, she got her spoon and fed herself one mouthful and that was it.  She was interested in the Jello but wanted to eat it with her fingers.  Jackie gave me her bread because noticed that mom was eyeing Edward's.  She ate a little.
The big guy sitting beside Lorne said that Lorne had taken his dessert.  Another guy asked me for a straw.  I was waiting to ask one of the aides, but they just ignored me.  I saw Robyn come out from the kitchen and told him what needed to be done.
I took my stuff to the fish tank room.  I almost got my spot taken by Angela's son and grandson, but I claimed it. 
I broke the bread into small pieces and put some of the leftover olive oil and balsamic vinegar from my salad on it and mom liked it.  She ate a few pieces.  I also put some of the pureed ham and peas on the bread and she ate that too.  She drank most of her Boost and milk and all of her juice.
I gave her Cheetos and a manju.  She liked that.
I gave her some bubble wrap to play with.  I went over her photo album with her.  At first she was angry and confused, but eventually she came around.
I told Mark about the youtube video that I saw of the women who had a stroke: Jill Boite Taylor.  And her book:  My Stroke of Insight.
