Eating out on Sunday

 Bob came down to take us out to the OCB to eat.  For once the place didn't have a long line at the register. A line but not a long one.  We were late getting there and I had told them not to give her a full meal as I wanted her to eat most at the OCB.  But she was finishing up a plate so she was not very hungry when we got to the OCB.  Still she ate quite a lot for someone who had just gotten up  from the table.  We took her to the community room as she didn't seem to want to stay in her room.  Leaving her there in the community room is harder it seems to me to do.  You can sit her in a chair but when you say goodbye and start to walk out it is easy for her to follow  you to the elevator across the hall.  Maybe because we had been with her and  we had just come back from the restaurant she is not in a mood to leave us.  There might be just something created in her mind to stay with us. But for me to look at her and force the break is hard for me to do.  It seems much easier to say goodbye alone in her room for me.  Most of the time she will stay on her bed and wave as I wave back.  Bob being there probably changes things. Or just coming back from the little trip might have created in her something else.   Leaving the community room  a caregiver will be there to keep her from following. But of course the caregiver might have to actually block her following.
