The past couple of days have consisted of confused clientele sent my way. Although very hard to accept that someone can be so lost in their head, 90 something year olds tend to have this innocent wit that can brighten up anyone's day. I wanted to share a little extract of my encounter because this man made me smile; it went something along the lines of this:
Me: I'm going to take your sugar.
Pt: You are going to take all the sugar out of my body? Isn't that dangerous?
Me: No, not quite like that!
Pt: Well you're going to put it back, right?
Me: Something like that.
Pt: Well in that case, do what you've got to do.
*whilst CBGM-ing*
Me: Can you tell me where you are?
Pt: Why I'm in the countryside! One of those places you stay for two weeks, and move on to somewhere new. You can't stay out in the countryside all the time after all.
Me: *smiling* Okay, how about this. If you were to call someone to tell them to come pick you up, where would you tell them you were?
Pt: *chuckling* Well I just wouldn't call them!
Smiling is infectious,
You can catch it like the flu.
Someone smiled at me today,
And I started smiling too.
