I brought a vegetable platter and teeny cupcakes to the meeting.
When I got there mom was in bed asleep.
I went around saying Hi to all the workers there feeding the residents
and telling them mom was 90 today.
They were all shocked- she really is extremely young looking.
After a while I wanted her to eat lunch so I caressed her
then I massaged her legs so I could slowly remove her socks to see her feet.
Her legs were less swollen and her toes less angry red and no yeast
smell. She lazily kicked me saying no as i rubbed some goldbond
powder between her toes.
After a while I finally got her up and over to a table and got her plate.
She was so sleepy ( Not Due to medication)
that I ended up feeding her.
I left her drowsing in the chair and went over to the meeting across the way.
I learned that keeping non-slip socks on at night was better than barefeet
to keep from slipping in pee. She is always getting up at night.
I learned that powder is very slippery if it gets on the floor so its not a good idea.
They said she is getting a tad in the face of other residents and also
"Helping" a little aggressively ie: Pushing some helpless person's
wheelchair along a bit fast. ( hahaha oh my!)
I reminded them about this happening last year at this time.
Last year they gave her a sedative for a bit, this year the dr decided to
try upping her Lexapro instead to avoid balance problems of a sedative.
After the meeting we all looked for her and found her asleep in someones
bed. Her rollator had been neatly Parked in the shower.
I left her card on her dresser...
