Yesterday when we were visiting my mom I drew the privacy curtain between her and her new roommate. But while we were chatting with my mom, the woman was moaning in pain. I called the nurse who came in briefly to assist her, but then when she left the woman was pathetically moaning and so I went over there and rubbed her legs and said, “It’s alright” and that seemed to calm her down. She reached for my hand and I held it. Then after some time, T came over and took my place so that I could visit with mom. T engaged the woman in talking about the photos that were up of her grandchildren.<\/p>\n
Later when Hortense was doing mom’s respiratory therapy, T asked her if she found it difficult working there and she said, “Yes, because you get close to patients and most of the time the outlook is not good.”<\/p>\n
