The great escape
|
The great escape I had to say goodbye to a dear old friend today. Due to finances, one of the all time best nursing home residents had to move to another home. You would think a 92 year old woman, weighing 82 pounds would pretty much go with the flow. Oh no. She put up one hell of a resistance. The aides came and found me, I talked her down a little, we made it to the door, and she revolted again. The medical transport driver asked if one of us would ride with her, everyone looked at me, I asked if I was allowed, the person in charge said yes, I said " let me grab my purse!" I sprinted to grab my stuff and ripped the door open and yelled "let's move it Ella, before they change their minds!" We got loaded into the van and started down the road. Ella was still not a happy camper, but she said she knew I wouldn't let anything bad happen to her. It was an interesting ride. She asked how many people we do this to, I asked what she meant, she said "how many people do you kidnap?" I replied "as many as we can talk into getting in the van." A little later she said "now you girls just drop me off at the next church we pass, the church takes homeless persons like me, you just drop me off and leave and I'll tell them 2 foreign men with funny accents took me, I don't want you girls getting in trouble over this." I distracted her by starting a rousing rendition of "cowboy sweetheart", she quickly joined in and was yodeling before long. Then she stopped and said "just let me out right here." I said "and then what?" She said "I'll walk, and when I can't walk anymore I'll just sit and cry on the side of the road." I explained that she was much better off just riding along with us. I asked if she wanted to drive, she replied "ah hell, I haven't driven in 10 years, I'm not sure I could." I said "I don't care, it's not my car, come on up here and give it a try." By the time we got to her new home she was cool with the whole idea. She sang and yodeled for the staff there and demanded lunch. When I was leaving I gave her a hug and kiss and told I loved her and I'm glad we'd gotten to be friends. I was fighting tears and then she said "I love you, lots, and when they find out I escaped from that last hell hole, I promise I won't tell them you were my accomplice." Well thanks Ella. |

I know what you do is not an easy job but you sound like you are very very good at it. The people you work with are blessed. If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin." I always behave. Preferably not well.
