Our residents favorite shows!!

Has anyone else noticed that the elderly get pretty repetitive in the activities they do or movies and TV shows they watch... similar to how little kids get obsessed with one movie and watch it over and over again?? Well, I wanted to write this post as a tribute to all of our residents favorite TV shows and movies!!

101:  This resident is obsessed with 'murder mystery' type shows such as NCIS, even the novels she reads are usually darker stuff.

103:  This resident is obsessed with making it back to her room in time after dinner to catch the 5 o'clock news... I never watch the news but she LOVES the news!! She also always watches a John Wayne movie every Saturday! 

106:  She watches the same few movies over and over, such as: Fiddler on the Roof, Gone With the Wind, but by far her favorite is Mrs. Doubtfire!  I always seem to walk in on the part where Robin Williams sticks his face in the pie and peeks over the fridge and says, "hello!!"  Haha :) 

109:  This resident always has her television blaring so loud!! She loves America's Funniest Home Videos and Who Wants to be a Millionaire.  After those TV shows are over, I find that she loves her a good Sandra Bullock movie.

110 & 114:  These two ladies are obsessed with the movie 'The Other Side of Heaven', they both watch it all the time!!! 

A gift for you!

This will just be a short blog post, the other day I was working and talking to AN right after shift change and then 114 came in and handed me a small squarish shaped item wrapped in a napkin and tied with a yellow ribbon.  She just came in the nurses station and tossed it to me... so then I opened it to see what was mysteriously wrapped inside and it was an empty jam container with an empty butter container stuffed inside of it!  AN and I just burst out laughing and couldn't stop for awhile... it was hilarious!

Briefs Everywhere...

So our new resident in room 114 kind of has a problem with her briefs... we always end up finding them in the drawers and under the bed or in the shower... she just thinks that they are reusable.  So last week I walked in to check on her and I found this brief placed here...

She has such a sweet heart but she is kind of mischievous!

'Oh my ghost'

One night I was working with ES with 115, getting her ready for bed, and I offered her an orange stick then she said to me clear as day, "Oh my ghost!"  It was as if she was trying to say 'oh my gosh' and ended up saying ghost but it was hilarious coming out of her mouth regardless.

Morris Code ;)

So I was chillin' with our resident from room 113, and all of the sudden he winked at me... I love when he winks at me!  Anyways, so I winked back and then he proceeded to wink back again... etc, it went on for a couple of winks back and forth.  It was great and I love finding joy in the weird little personality traits that our residents have... it was almost as if he was trying to communicate with me through morris code!
