Tina is Mom’s roommate in
205. She was there when Mom was admitted. We chose 205 because Tina said that
she would not mind if Mom had her TV on all night long. I don’t know all of
Tina’s ailments but she is more independent than Mom. She goes to the bathroom
independently and also uses a wheelchair but she transfers herself. She has problems with her feet especially with her right foot. She talks
without self editing so while she does report what’s going on, it is often
difficult to figure out what she is saying because the trail of her comments
are not sequential or related in obvious denotation or connotation. Tina has a
bad shoulder and has gained a lot of weight since we first met her. She has
diabetes so I keep sugarless candy in Mom’s drawer to offer Tina when I give
Mom candy. Her son and daughter-in-law visit. They live in Central
Texas but not close by. Tina has good manners and is very nice and
positive much of the time. She is fond of the Animal Planet channel on TV and
is very fond of watching the birds.
