Gave her 1 extra strength Tylenol after dinner and left blood pressure med. on the kitchen for her to take later. Left at 1:05 pm. or a little past 1 pm.
Jan. 22 (Tuesday) = Made a call to client before going on my way and asked her if she wants me to drop by to Food 4 Less to get the beef bacon as she said the other day she was hoping I would get it. Dropped by to Food 4 Less, arrived there about 10 minutes early before 9 am. Got 1 can each of dog food and chicken with mushroom soup, dessert, soda pop, beef bacon, two Banquet tv dinners, 2 zucchinis and Whopper. Used and spent $13.81 with my card. Got to clients home before 9:30 am, client awake, sitting on the bed. Put dog outside. Made client tea and she says she was nauseated so maybe it will help instead of coffee. Took 1 Tylenol at 9:47 am. Also had talked about trying not to take her meds. for a day and see if it is what's causing her nausea or the many trips on the commode. Watching tv while I was sweeping her room, changed the rug under her commode and emptied commode. Client fall asleep for a little bit. Client asked for soup for lunch, had a cup of soup before 12 noon. And she had asked to rub pain cream to her left shoulder and both legs before having her soup. Asked her if she wants me get her another cream as the one we're using are empty. Was told we could talk about it after lunch. Made client a beef bacon sandwich with olives, cut in half and set it aside on the fridge for her meal later whenever she wants to eat. Client called her bank and had spoke to Carlos, transferring money from her savings as I am going to send the check for the agency today on the mail.At past 12:45, before going to Rite-Aid client asked for sandwich, so gave her half of the sandwich I made with Diet Pepsi soda pop.

Jan. 23 (Wednesday) = Client sitting on the bed, when I arrived, put dog outside. Client still complaining about her arthritis pain, had asked her for coffee or tea but says not, asked for bacon and egg instead. Had fallen asleep before having her breakfast. had fried egg and 3 slices of bacon about 9:30 am. Still doesn't want to take her meds. as she wanted to see if the meds. are the cause of her going back and forth on the commode. Before 10 am, told me the meat being defrosted, (found it sitting on the kitchen table, defrosted yesterday and I put it back on the fridge.) But as I got in today, I had just put it back on the freezer. Asked about the ingredients, but we don't have it. Got her through the beef recipes I was given from Food 4 Less. Wrote a check for me to use on Vons for the ingredients and made me count all her changes she got in her pursue for lunch. I got a $2.99 Popeyes coupon to use and got $4 from her changes. Went to Vons first and got this 7 spices in one bottle on sale for 99 cents, spinach vege, few carrots, gravy sauce mix, butter, and paid with the check. Then went to Popeyes and used the coupon, paid over $3. Got back and left the remaining change on a ziplock bag in the fruit bowl on the kitchen table. Client had the 2 pieces, mild chicken, the biscuit, and half of the coleslaw and steamed spinach and water for drink for the lunch at about 11:45 am. Put the rest of the coleslaw on the fridge. Had talk to her I had read about soda pop and oranges aggravating the pain of arthritis. And that if she's up for it maybe she should try about a week without soda pop and oranges and see what will happen. Maybe arthritis pain will be less or will go away. Left about 1:15 pm, client watching tv.
