Moments that make you giggle....

Specialties Geriatric

Yesterday, a resident told me "this cold water is really good." I gave her a smug look and said "I made it myself." Both of us: "bahahaha!" What moment have you had recently that gave you a good laugh? :)

Specializes in LTC.

One day a resident with demtia was c/o her husband not coming home (he had been deceased for many years, but she always forgets). She said "I guess he's not coming home, so I'm going to find a new man." A male resident overheard her say this, got a huge grin on his face and said "Alright!" I about died laughing.

I have a resident with a recent CVA who's become very combative and wasn't speaking. At lunch yesterday she was repeatedly smacking a CNA who was trying to feed her and out of nowhere she looked at the CNA's shirt and said 'Tell Meadows to leave me alone!' Meadows is the name of the facility, embroidered on the shirts. After my initial shock that she was speaking again, I had to laugh!
