babe let me fucking tell you what happened at work today..
this man (his name is James) brought his mother in with her dog to have a bath, and she has severe and I mean extremely severe dementia (abnormal memory loss) and I was bathing her dog and she repeated the same 3 things for over an hour; "I found this dog about 2-3 years ago. his name is travis" she mentioned that another 10 times in the next 5 minutes..
the second thing she kept saying was "do you know when my son is coming back?" when he dropped her off because they are taking her to a nursing home today and she..doesn't know. so I had to keep buying time for him while they got their plans together and basically baby sat her for him.
we'll plan back fired when I went to check on something and told her to wait a few minutes while I got some paper work and she went to the front and her son and me were talking and she saw him and was like "oh, we are ready to go home now" and he looked at me really, really blown away because she's not going back home..she's going to a nursing home. it was heart breaking actually.
anyway I spent a good hour and 30 minutes with her, learned a lot, such a sweet little woman. she wouldn't leave her dogs side for the absolute world. so she stayed in the hospital with me and I worked around her but gosh..it was heart breaking baby.
I'm still blown away by that..memory loss that severe..
