Eating at OCB

Robin and Mary cane down today and we took Kay out to the OCB.  Although she had just eaten an hour and a half ago she ate like she hadn't eaten all day. She was smiling almost all the time she was with us.  She did not want to leave me when it was time to go.  If I feel up to it I will have her brought over on Saturday.  I feel like I may be coming down with something. 

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. 

Eating out

 Bob came down and we took Kay out to eat about 2 pm.  Our test to see how she eats non puree foods is not very good because she is now on a non puree diet and they tell me she ate a lot better at noon.  As we got her about 1 30 she probably was not hungry especially if she ate well at noon.  However she had a salad plate of cottage cheese, fruit, and a couple other items I forget what.  She ate some corn chowder but not a lot.  She seemed to choke a little one time but not a serious one. She then had a regular plate of food which I don't remember what.  They are   giving her a non puree test for 72 hours to see how well she does.  She ate a lot better I think but I will look into it in more detail tomorrow when I have more time and she has been on it longer.  But according to some there she is eating better.  
We brought her home about 3 30 then boB brought me home.
