Ms L is an educated and cultured
resident at the residence. There is
never a day that she does not take advantage of the chauffeur service. She is a small statured lady with spunk and
she still attends a weekly Art Appreciation course at the NS Art Gallery. I take her to her weekly hairdressing
appointment as well as many trips to Lawton’s or second hand stores where she
enjoys looking for novel items (sometimes buying but often not). When I talk to Ms L I have to raise my
voice but while looking at her she moves her mouth mimicking my words.
Ms L has children and one of her
daughters lives in Australia
and is often in Gaza
No matter what may be on her mind, or if
she is cold or hot, feeling bad or good, she will always comment on the “nice
day” – what a great attitude.
In 2015 Ms L was assigned to an
extended care suite and requires a care worker as her dementia has advanced to
a dangerous state of confusion.
I miss
the ole Ms L. I seldom see her now other than within the halls of the building but she continues to be quite the lady and dressed to the nines. If the weather looks bad she gives me "permission to go home" and giggles.
[Ms
L has a look very similar to what my mother will look like should she make
it to 90 years of age (elegantly dressed, proper manners and the like), so I
enjoyed our trips together for that very reason J)
