So working in a nursing home, you would not believe some of the things I see or stories I here. of course I am not at liberty to share them all. I will give you one though.
The other day I was doing a bowling program, and I look over to see that my 90 year old 80 pound resident has her diaper around her ankles. Oh lovely. it has fallen down because she is so skinny. I quickly rushed her back to the nurses station before she had an accident in my program.
Today while I was helping to feed in the dining room, my resident kept sneezing, and everytime I flinched thinking she was going to throw up on me! While feeding them, it kind of reminds me of lunch time at camp. Its the same thing, trying to get the little campers to eat, and the seniors. Another one told me today that she was going to tell her parents on me if I kept feeding her. (they have been dead for over 30 years im sure, its hard to respond to that) Other get up in the middle of lunch and claim that they are going home, sadly I must remind them that this is their home. I had a resident who used to pack up her room everyday and try to leave, she is now in the dimentia unit.
Heres a crazy story, sunday while jon was at the library, his wallet was stolen!!! ( 2 people lost laptops, and another their wallet also) luckily we were able to cancel the credit cards ontime, and then he found his ID cards in the toilet. can you imagine! some people........
Currently, there is a car parked in our spot belinging to another tenant. as you know, this is not the first time! I cant believe it. Months ago the landlord put up signs showing that each spot is designated to an apartment, and will be towed! and yet they still park there. We have told them so many times, and put up signs! I will talk to the landlord tomorrow, and have him talk to the others again. The next time it happens, i will call the tow truck! I have put up a note earlier, and it is now gone, but the car remains. crazy!!!!!

I can't believe your neighbours! That is really uncool, you can tells they have no regards for anybody else. Call the tow-truck!!
It's really sad that Jon got his wallet stolen and that others got their laptops stolen. Sad world we live in...
