I Work to Live Not Live to Work

I am sitting with a man who has dementia and speaks no English at all. I don't know what to do with him since he isn't following my cues to get up and do walk to another room or anything. I will be so glad to be out of here ! Two more hours. Aughhh!

I'm going to wait about ten more minutes then call his wife and ask her what i should make him for lunch. Its almost 1130 in the morning. After lunch i think he naps so then im home free.

Communications with them can be a challenge .. .. then there are times when they are as alert and talkative as you and me .. .. you just have to go with the moment .. .. ..
