WEEKEND
Ever since the renovations started in our castle, we have some very funny incidents which, honestly are not funny at all. While we were having our coffee, suddenly a man appeared dressed like Adam but without the leaf appeared in all his glory !
Nobody was especially surprised, except perhaps me, because it had never happened since I am here. A nurse scolded him gently and led him back. The man said friendly good bye and disappeared with the nurse. Hopefully in two weeks the section for the severely brain damaged residents will be finished and closed with a code. Meanwhile we can just help. But there are some people who are afraid of them and are not happy at all. I was "used", I had seen the same in the home where Rick was.
This night I heard someone screaming, but that happens, people dream. I didn't move, because Rick did it when he was ill. The screams didn't stop but I could suddenly hear "help ....". So I jumped out of my bed, followed the cries for help and heard that they were coming from the opposite room . It was a woman who had fallen in the restroom and the bell didn't seem to be working. I promised to get her help and found a night nurse. I didn't feel like going back into the room and certainly not into the toilet it didn't smell like roses, the poor nurses see a lot of human misery! I went back to bed and fell asleep straight away, even though Rosie thought it was time to play with her mice.
On Sunday we had cloudy, but warm weather and could sit outside. Our Italian Mamma had her birthday and her eldest son had invited the whole family which was composed of around 60 people. Although most of them didn't speak Italian anymore because it was the 4th generation, and they were Belgians now, but the blood remained Italian they made a lot of noise. I felt like I was on vacation when we visited Ricks family in Italy, everyone was talking loudly and no one was listening, and the talking hands were moving at full speed. I could speak Italian to some and was happy that I hadn't forgotten, it all came back. Rina was so happy to have her whole family around her and I spent an excellent afternoon.

You'll be pleased when all the work has finished. It must create so much more work for the nursing staff. You always have amusing stories to tell us about your days in the 'castle'.
ReplyDeleteWow, all those people - how lovely for Rina.
ReplyDeleteThat was quite an eventful weekend, startling at one end but amazing and fun at the other. I bet Rosie will be expecting extra play time as well as treats from you in lieu of the late night missed activity session. Hopefully your renovations will finish on time or earlier.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and fun week!

Awww on the kitties and I had to laugh at the naked guy. It's the way of things. I've seen the same thing when I was working.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Rosie. ♥
Your description of 'events' made me think I was still at my work...like you said, it is funny, but in a sad way.
ReplyDeleteThat lady will remember her party with fondness for a long time. How sweet that you could converse with them too. I took a little Italian in college, but have forgotten most of it. 1976 was a LONG time ago!
