I'm so blah. today has thrown everything at me. Its very scary... I keep feeling like shuddering.
First crazy thing that happened. Louise and I saved an old womans life at social service. One of the patients who is more lucid and normal was feeding a couple of the older patients who are really badly demented. The one feeding them is called Jenny. Lou and I always talk to her, so we came to get her today. And the nurse wasn't really watching her, there was one nurse for a whole ward of about 30 patients. So we were talking to Jenny, and saying for her to wheel herself outside. I noticed that one of the women (who was mute) that jenny had been feeding was kind of shaking, which alot of them do all the time. Then she started to go purple. it was the weirdest senstation. I was like... something is wrong. it was so weird how lucid I felt... I was so aware. Then I yelled to the nurse, who ignored me. Louise immediately cottoned on and grabbed the nurse, and she finally payed attention!!! She gave this timy fragile old woman a sort of heimlich maneauver (sp?) and she threw up this peice of chicken the size of a fucking small FIST! I swear! It was insane! And the poor old woman was still having trouble breathing. Obviously the shock and stuff... and the nurse started panicking... and so Lou and I ran and got another nurse from another ward. It was very scary. Stupid Jenny!!! I mean, I know she didnt mean it... but OF COURSE THIS OLD LADY CAN'T CHEW! I don't even know if she had any teeth! But the stupid nurse should have been paying attention. They should have had more people on duty.
It was way way intense
Then when I got home... My dad told me that he's moving to Japan. For work. Its really bad. My mum is just so so upset. Maybe she'll go with him, but I'm not sure if I can get a spot in the boarding house. And my poor dad... there is nothing he can do... and I can see that its breaking his heart. Maybe there's someway it can change. But I don't think so. I just want to find the one option that makes people happy. but I don't know if there is one.
Phew.
