"I am going to work at a nursing home. | 1 |
I visited it. | 2 |
It's for dementia / alzheimer's patients | 3 |
And I was writing a letter to the woman who works there. | 4 |
And I was sitting in the lobby. | 5 |
And there were two old ladies. | 6 |
One was standing up. | 7 |
Confused. | 8 |
One was laying on a bench. | 9 |
The one who was standing up started moving in a certain direction. | 10 |
The one who was laying down said, 'Are you leaving me? Don't leave me alone.' | 11 |
And the one who was standing said, 'I don't know where I am. I don't know where I'm going.' | 12 |
And the one who was sitting down said, 'Don't leave me. I get really scared when I'm alone.' | 13 |
And then some other lady. | 14 |
She was walking towards the cafeteria. | 15 |
And she said, 'Is it too light outside for lunch?' | 16 |
And one lady walked up to me. Slowly. | 17 |
Put her face close to mine. | 18 |
And stared at me. | 19 |
And said, 'Mmmmdnn jdklsioen jdklskwingl' | 20 |
And I said, kindly, 'What?' | 21 |
And some caregiver came and took her hand and pulled her gently away from me. | 22 |
And another lady was sitting in a wheelchair. | 23 |
In the middle of the lobby. | 24 |
And she was saying, 'Fuck! Shit! This is bullshit!' | 25 |
Just cussing. | 26 |
And that's all. | 27 |
I left." | 28 |
| |
"You left cursing?" | 29 |
| |
"No, she was cussing. | 30 |
I left after I was done writing the letter. | 31 |
The lady with dementia was cussing." | 32 |
