Mom was being fed by Remy when I arrived. Mom looked so pained. I felt awful. Remy got an aide to help and we pulled her up in the wheelchair. After that, she looked better or so I told myself. The aide pulled mom up by her pants because we didn't want to touch her legs. I would have. Poor mom. I cried. Tears were running. I felt so bad for mom. I wonder if I am doing the right thing. Maybe I shouldn't be interfering. Maybe I am just prolonging her agony.
Remy offered to give mom pain medication, but then she wouldn't be able to eat.
Mom ate a bit.
Donna was really her enjoying her tapioca pudding. Jackie gave Donna her tapioca pudding as well. I hope Donna will be okay. Donna is not supposed to have dairy products.
Francesco flagged me down and asked me to make sure they kept his dinner for later. I assured him that I would take care of it.
After dinner, I took her to the fish tank room and our usual place. I tipped the wheelchair back to raise her legs and touched them, which she did not appreciate. I put a towel between her knees.
She ate all of my rice pudding and some banana.
The aide that is looking after the 104-year-old woman came by to let us know that her charge was going to Kiwanis in New Westminster. I wonder if Kiwanis is any better than St. Michael's? I wonder how I move mom to St. Michael's.
