Not What They Mean By Getting Plenty Of Bed Rest
Assisted Living, Golden Years, Michigan, Rude & Risque, USA | Healthy | October 19, 2019
(A group of residents with varying stages of dementia is sitting around a table having coffee near my desk in the front lobby. One of them asks a question of the others…)
Resident
#1 : “What happened to my hand?”
(She has a bruise over her wrist and the back of her hand.)
Resident
#2 : “You fell out of your bed, remember? You landed on it.”
Resident
#1 : “Oh! I must have been having a good time in bed!”
(Both women cracked up laughing while the two men with them looked shocked. I managed to hold it together so they didn’t know I was listening in.)
