I’ll be that random always showing up nude geriatric fo sho.I hope it's something amusing when our day comes . Far down the road!
One of my favourite memories while working in a nursing home was that of a resident in her 80’s, sitting in the dining room area stark naked bar a feathered fascinator head dress and grey hospital gloves, her head was high and zero fucks were given. As I walked her back to her room I thought that there is my geriatric spirit animal.
I love that.I could see the process some with him. He saw an asian nurse or dr and it triggered his military background. Next from his mouth came loudly, See that big battleship leaving the harbor? It was both embarrassing and hilarious. We spoke to her and she was so nice explaining she understood. We know what she understood and was nice to my FIL so that made her my hero! You are too! When it's work to be kind and one does their work it's above and beyond! I've been victim to bad nursing as a child. There's good and bad.
You only ever remember two nurses. The one who was kind and the one who was cruel. Each shift aspire to be the kind one.
