Pseudobulbar affect?

PITA, definitely never heard that one before pffft

Oh gosh this makes me think of the time I used the intercom to talk to an elderly woman who would yell random things so loud we could here her ALL the way down at the station on the opposite end of the hallway. So I said, "Mrs. E, shhhh goooo to sleeeeep" to which she responded "Where are you?!" I told her I was in the hallway so I wouldn't confuse her but for at least a week straight this woman who couldn't remember where she lived, remembered to tell everyone she heard the voice of God. Lol. Too cute. I miss her.

YOU are an awesome nurse. Go you. Glad to know there are more of us out there ^_^

hahaha that's so cute

I now use this quote on the reg. It's humorous and while I don't mention Mrs. B but it makes me remember her and her awesome sense of humor and priceless witt.

Somewhat related question: What does everyone think dementia resident's obsession is with their daddy? Is it an american thing or is it cross-cultural? I live in a predominantly white town with 99% white elderly population (which is sad to be honest) so I have no real experience.

Best thing I've ever heard. 86 year old woman with dementia comes rolling up in her wheelchair, midday and surrounded by staff, visitors and family members and shouts at the top of her lungs, "I'M THE BEST SEX I EVER HAD!!!" Lol the staff is like ..."Mrs. B!" and she looks at us nonplussed and just says, What? I am." I'll never forget her.
