When your caring for the elderly sometimes you have to go with it.
Whether it’s the cat police, insurgents or the woman in the mirror is stealing her identity to get her man you just smile and go with it.
in bed at night I would always make sure only my head wasn’t under the covers so that way if there was a Boogey Man I would die faster losing my head than if he got my leg.
Me: I was not expecting that…
Patient’s daughter: Did you give birth to us naturally or did they give you something for pain?
Patient: I gave birth to your younger sisters naturally.
Patient’s daughter: What did they give you when you had me?
Patient: Chloroform

Patient: It was the 40s for christs sake!
Patient: You better not fall asleep. You might wake up with your hair cut.
Me: Im just going to assume thats the UTI talking.
Patient: I suppose…I can’t play tennis anymore let alone cut hair.
Me: Well for the sake of my hair, Im glad you don’t know what your capable of.
Me: I challenge you go a game of Chinese Checkers. Winner gets remote.
Patient: I accept the challenge. But let me just say my heads a bit cloudy today and my eyes hurt.

Me: Are we seriously going to watch the Spanish channel all day?
Patient: No dear, you’ll be watching it while I nap with the remote.
Me: Is this payback for talking you into watching Titanic?
Patient: This is pay back for saying that one singing show was just a long commercial.
Me: How else was I going to get you to watch Glee. Dang, your on your game today.
