I love interacting with the residents that I work with. They can really brighten up a room but can also sometimes be a real downer. Right now I have one particular patient that likes to recite poems and today this was her poem......
"If you see a frog up a tree, squeeze its tail and think of me."
Hee-hee! Just made me giggle. There is never a dull moment at the nursing home. I love being the patient advocate for the patients I have and don't have (but will one day have, they all come to PT sooner than later) and it makes my day when I hear one of my past patients refer to me as their favorite therapist!! The little things in life are what make it worth living.
Daylight savings time is totally throwing Ethan off. I am trying very hard to get him to go to bed on time and here it is 9:50 and he is still up. Yes in his room with the lights off and in bed but he has now gotten up 2x. He is in a stage that he is afraid of "shadows". We have made shadow puppets on the wall and tried to explain to him what they are (make that 3x that he has gotten up) and that they will not "get" him. He is now in bed with a horse flashlight and a book. Maybe he will settle down and finally go to sleep so that I can make my own way to bed. Daylight savings time is rough on us all!
