Everyone except Jacquie was at the table when I arrived. Everyone had their meal already. Stir fry chicken, veggies, rice and green and wax beans. Strawberry tart. Mom had coffee. I went to mom's room to drop off my stuff and wipe down the toilet, just in case.
Everyone enjoyed their meal. Mom cleaned off the plate, ate her orange sections, dessert and even drank most of her coffee after I poured milk into it.
After dinner we went to say "hi" to Shanta and invite her to play card bingo. We took Donna to sit at the nurses' station. I took mom back to the room to toilet her, brush her teeth, etc. Her diaper was clean. She did a few small poops. I brushed her teeth. We delivered some oranges to Ailene, but she was getting cleaned up so I just handed the oranges to her nurse.
Then we went to pick up Donna. I set up the table to play cards in the chapel.
Donna decided to quit at the last minutes so Chris took her back to the nurses' station.
We played a couple of games when the British guy in a wheelchair showed up and then he joined in.
Mom had a new hair cut. Chris didn't like it, but Michael thought it was cute. I thought it was cute too.

Family Day
Monday, February 12, 2018
Mom and Donna were at the nurses' station. I took mom back to the room to brush her teeth, comb her hair, etc. Her diaper was dry.
I was going to play cards, but turned out coffee time was 10:30. I thought it was 10:00. So we had coffee with Joe, Michael, Donna and mom. Santo brought his guitar over and serenaded us. Unfortunately, we didn't know any of the songs he played.
After coffee we went to play card bingo. Michael won 4 times in a row. Donna won the last game.
I left mom at lunch. She seemed sad to see me go.
I brought a box of Merci chocolates for the kitchen staff.

Soggy diaper
Sunday, February 11, 2018
Mom and Donna were sitting at the nurses' station when I arrived. I took mom to her room so I could toilet her. I gave her a mandarin orange to eat. I started peeling it for her so she would know what to do. She had a lot of laundry in the hamper so I emptied the clothes and put them in the communal hamper. I had to put in a plastic bag liner. Then, I realized that I had put in the liner for the dirty linen. The hampers were turned the wrong way. I came back and cleaned the toilet seat and mom's hamper. Mom had started eating another orange. I cleaned mom's teeth. She had a lot of orange stuck in her teeth. I toileted her. Her diaper was soggy.
We went for a walk and sang some songs. We met Donna in the dining room. The door of the tv room kept getting stuck open so I locked it.
We had coffee and tea before dinner. Dinner took a long time to be served today. It was roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and Boston cream pie. Yum! Mom ate most of her meal. I cut up mom's meat for her. An aide helped Donna cut her meat up.
I had to leave at 5:30 today because I have a dance class and since my dinner was served so late, I had to eat and run.

No diapers
Wednesday, February 7, 2018
Everyone was sitting at the table when I arrived. Mom had consumed my beverages and I had no cutlery. Donna was sitting at a strange angle from the table.
Mom insisted she wasn't hungry and pushed her food away. Possibly because she was scolded for drinking all the beverages and also because she wasn't hungry because she had consumed all the beverages. She seemed kind of grouchy. She didn't eat much. She ate her oranges. She ate her apple crisp.
After dinner I took her back to the washroom. She said she didn't have to go, but she did pee and do a poop. She wasn't wearing any diapers. I suspect it was her diaper under the sink. She was upset when I cleaned her bum and her woman's parts. I put a new diaper on her. Her clothes seemed poop free so I didn't change her. I combed her hair, brushed her teeth, wiped her face, etc. She seemed happier once she had her new diaper on.
There was a new recreation leader, Reiko. She wanted mom to play the hit the balloon with a styrofoam noodle game. Donna and mom participated in the balloon activity. Donna got tired and left early. Mom was having a blast.
Chris, Michael and I played card bingo using most of the deck. We each got 17 cards. It was fun.
Mom has a dentist appointment for February 19th.

Pull up pants
Tuesday, February 6, 2018
When I arrived, Donna was sitting at the dining room table and mom was in the fish tank room.
Mom was happy to see me. I think she was lost.
I took her to her room. An aide was sitting in two chairs on her cell phone. She moved to the other side of the room. Mom said she wanted to go there (the washroom). She took a pee and did a small poop. Her diaper, which was a pull up, was relatively clean so I didn't change her. We did some exercises. I say "banzai" and lift my arms and she copies me. I had her hold on to the side of the bed and we did some leg raises. We went through her photo book. Then we went for a little walk. We chatted with Donna a bit on our walk.
We sat down at the dinner table and had our beverages. Mom thought her apple juice was good. She didn't like her tea so much. We had ginger pork, rice and broccoli. Dessert was a lemon cake. The cake was good. The dinner was okay.
Mom and Donna had their shower today. Mom's hair looked really cute.
I had an early choir practice today so I left work early so I could spend more time with mom before I left after dinner.

Poopy diaper
Sunday, February 4th, 2018
Donna was sitting at the dining room table alone when I arrived. She said she hadn't seen mom all day. I found mom sitting in the fish tank room. I took her to the washroom. She had pooped her diaper. This time she hadn't been sitting in it for too long. It was pretty horrible. I had her raise her arms to distract her while I removed her soiled diaper. Then, I sat her on the toilet. She did some more poop. First I cleaned her bum with toilet paper, then, I used two towels soaked in hot water. There was a lot of poop. It was also on her mons pubis and in her folds. I finished off with two napkins soaked with moisturizing spray. I combed her hair, wiped her face and applied some Vaseline to her face.
Dinner was sweet and sour pork, green beans, rice and chocolate cream pie. The sweet and sour pork was better today because it had more fruit and veggies (pineapple, green pepper, onion and carrot).
Mom ate most of her food. She really likes her oranged quarters. She was eyeing Donna's orange quarters so I told Donna to place them on the other side of her plate. Mom was then able to go back to concentrating on eating her food. I wanted her to spit out something from her mouth because she was chewing it for a long time. I thought it was a fibrous mass, but she insisted on chewing it. I gave her some apple juice to help wash it down.
Then I took her back to the room to brush her teeth. I forgot to toilet her.
I brought her back to the dining room to join Donna.

Michael is not leaving
Saturday, February 4, 2018
Mom was watching a movie in the tv room and Donna was no where in sight. I was surprised to see Michael. A staff member told me that he was just confused. I took mom back to the room. Donna was there. She wanted to go to the washroom. I pulled the cord, but it took at least 15 minutes before someone came. I even told the nurse on duty.
I toileted mom. She did a poop so I wiped her bum. I cut her bangs, washed her face, brushed her teeth. When we were washing our hands she started to wash her face so I had to stop her. The hand soap makes her face really dry.
Buy this time mom and Donna were toileted so we went to have coffee.
