Funny things your residents have said/done...

I had a little old lady tell me that I had a "goat head." What does that even mean?

I had a lady call me an "old bag." I'm 25; she's 98.

Today...I was doing a last round on a combative resident. Meh...he's cool. Just doesn't care to be changed.

So, I told him to roll onto his back so that I could finish wiping and putting on the diaper. He did...while cursing up a storm. Told me to leave him 'the f** alone'.

I braced myself in case he decided to strike. Wiped him. Secured the diaper and pulled the sheets over him as I said, "Ok, Mr H --but, we gotta keep you clean...y'know? I know you don't want to be sleeping in doo-doo an pee all night..."

He yelled while facing the wall, his back to me, "LOOK - I CAN'T SLEEP IN PEACE, NO WAY. 'CAUSE EVERYTIME I TURN 'ROUND, YOU B..STARDS ARE DIGGIN' IN MY A**! DAY AND NIGHT, YOU'RE TRYNA DIG IN MY A**! WELL, WHATCHA IN'ERE LOOKIN' FOR, HUH? 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW.... YOU LOOKIN' FOR A G*DD**N GENIE TO POP OUT OF IT?"

Then...

"GET OUTTA MY A**!"

I love the elderly....

*laugh*

My response: "Ok, sir...we're done...you can go back to sleep..."

I've honestly thought about the whole changing thing. We wake them up constantly to 'check for wetness'.

That would annoy me too, I guess.

Hey that's great !!! You can use that the next time you have to 'check for wetness'.......just say you have to check for a genie popping out of his backside.....
