You be the judge.
The following is the conversation between A and One of the elderly resident after A pray for her after our rehabilitation center service.
One of the elderly resident: I have urethritis, but they don't give me medicine.
A: you should
ask them.
One of the
elderly resident: nobody will
care about us.
A: what color is your urine?
One of the
elderly resident: I don't
know, I wear adult diaper.
A: if you feel
pain or burn when you pee, ask them for the medicine.
From my understanding, the staff been given her
cranberry juice and she didn't even had a fever, I’m not a doctor, but I think that's the reason why they didn't give her medicine.
This conversation continue.................
A: do you have kids? Do they come to visit you?
A: do you have kids? Do they come to visit you?
One of the
elderly resident: oh! Not
really, they live far away and they are busy with their church service.
A: you should
ask them to visit you once a week.
One of the
elderly resident: this and
that; such and such; well, maybe the daughter in law won't agree to do so.
That was when,
I couldn't stand to continuing to listen to this infinity conversation, so, I
left, without, saying goodbye, and then, I went alone to my regular visiting
other residents and of course, I came back to this One of
the elderly resident, to talk her a bit more and to say goodbye to her.
If
you were a volunteer, what are you supposed to do? I’ve been serving in this
community for years.
And I've seen, different kind of children of the residents in this facility and other facilities.
One
of them came visited his mom for the first week and then decided to take his mom home
and took care of her himself.
One,
I truly don't know what's his concern, he sent his mom to this facility, not
too far away from his home, but couples of cities away though.
Another
one, move her dad from different city to the city where she live in, the only
reason is, she wants be close to her dad.
