Before, I am in charge for a Geriatric ward! So, hey its kind of a big challenge for me as I need a lot of patience to be in the elderly life! But, at the same time, its a huge chance for me to know what life meant.
As I could see from their life not so details but a tiny tiny sight, some of them get a happy moment but some of them are really suffer in the last breath cos they were in lonely moment, in a pain, in a breathless and anxious for no one to company.
Truth! You should see most of them left by their children and stay in a terrible conditions without anyone come to pamper them, to calm them, to hold their hands, to give a smile, to talk to them, to look for their pain! No one! not even a child out of 10 of them!
I remember one of patient, a Chinese grams. She was so thin, bed bound, lying all the time, not even a single move, very not viable. She was alone. All the time. She's been referred to me for an exercise! Hey, I couldn't do much since her conditions not allowed me to do more than I could do towards other patient.
But, I still come to her every day, give her a massage, hold her hand and talk to her though i know she won't be able to reply me. But that day, I saw, I saw she's cried! I don't know, was it because of pain or what? Then, I came to her the next day, I just hold her hand and talk to her. Again, she's crying! Now I know, she miss one who holding her hand. Then, I kept visiting her till she was discharged!
and, this is a story about other Geri's who make me laugh and I think its a good joke from her without I realized that was so meant and klise.
I called her grams and one day when we do some table activity, there was a one guy who was the physiotherapist ask her.
Mr. P: you look so beautiful even you in 90's.. is there any secrets? is it ulam ke, jamu ke?
Grams: haha.. thank you. but nothing secret. Just amal ibadah! (deeds)
Daa.. don't you think its funny cos she was make a sarcasm! But for me she was not meant too. she was saying the right thing! hah! That was a good answer from grams to the young man who still make a journey in the life called world!
Actually, a lot of best moment during my work. it just some of them. I tell you guys, I'm getting to like this place.
Its not only about people but the experienced especially when come to a death! Its remind me every day you could die at any time as He decide for us!
