Had dinner with mom and the gang.
Mom waited at the table until Donna came to pick her up.
Donna was taking a long time in the washroom. Mom was anxious.
I told mom I would find another washroom for her.
One of the nurses let us use the shower room.
After card bingo, Mom and Donna went to use the washroom again.
This time Gerry was in the washroom.
Donna was anxious so I asked a support worker who said we could use the washroom next door.
Donna used the toilet first and then my mom, but this time things were not so urgent.
Anyways I now know of two washrooms we can use. The shower room is usually locked.

Accident
April 10. 2016
Yesterday, I dropped off some warmer weather clothes for mom to be labeled. I had lunch with her as well. After the soup, mom said she had to go to the bathroom. She didn't come back for a long time so I went to investigate. When I got to her room, I saw that someone else had been in the bathroom and thought, mom had to wait for someone so that's why she was taking so long. Anyways mom was really taking a long time.
When I finally opened the door, mom was washing her underwear in the sink. She said her pants were fine. We went back to finish our lunch.
Today when I was doing the laundry, I noticed her underwear had a dark stain. I think it was poop. Yikes! Poor mom. If I tell her to just go and use another toilet, I wonder if she would remember.

Card Bingo
Tuesday, March 22, 2016
We had fried fish for dinner. Dessert was an upside down fruit cake.
It was card bingo night. I suggested that Gerry join us. Her daughter didn't think that she would want to play, but she did. I went ahead with mom and Donna to save a place for Gerry. When we got there, it was packed so I asked that another table be set up for Donna, mom and Gerry.
Gerry arrived 15 minutes late because she had trouble getting assistance to go to the washroom.
Gerry's daughter had to leave early, so I pushed Gerry's wheelchair back to the room after the activity. I think the ladies had a good time together.

Good Friday

Dropped by to see mom around 2:30. Mom and Donna were having yogurt and banana in the cafeteria. Soon, coffee and cake appeared. They feed the clients well here. Mom and Donna had hot turkey sandwiches with gravy for lunch. They seem to have enjoyed that.
Because the sun was shining, I decided to take mom outside for a walk. Donna said she would rest so that mom and I could spend some time together. Mom objected to putting her winter coat on, but I didn't want her to get cold. I couldn't remember the code to open the gate to go to the park so we just walked around the nursing home grounds. Mom was anxious about getting lost. We couldn't go back in the way we came, but I was able to the find another way in. Mom was relieved to get back to her room.
I brought mom a baby orchid and a box of chocolates.
She loved the orchid and the box of chocolates.
She shared the chocolates with her roommates, Donna and Gerry. She insisted they take 3 a piece. All the ladies were happy.

Today, I dropped off the telephone.
It was so cute. Donna and my mom were sitting in front of the fish tank with their feet up on Donna's walker. The were both smiling and laughing at the fish.

Dropped by with Ethel to bring in more clothes. Mom and Donna were having a snack in the cafeteria. They joined us in mom's room. I brought a stuffed cat for mom and she was very happy.
Donna brought her big black and white stuffed cat and her stuffed tiger to show us. I wish I could have taken a photo. It was so cute.

Dinner with mom
Friday, February 26, 2016
Had dinner with mom. Mom wouldn't eat until my dinner came.
We had "barbecued ribs." It was actually ground pork shaped into ribs with bbq sauce. A little salty, but not bad. Mom ate it all. She didn't have the cake for dessert, but she shared an orange with me.
There was a horse racing activity after dinner. At first she didn't want to join, but she sat beside Donna and was soon waving goodbye to me.
At dinner we talked about Peter, the cat. He is the resident cat.
