Monday night, a week back now

Here I am, thinking about this post out in Stewkley. I'm thinking about my training where Gym told us that "we are not there to be their friend.", and I see how my client is missing his last carer. It's too hard on the client when you are not there permanently, to get involved in their lives, live with them and do everything for them, then leave their lives so they have to do the same thing over again with another carer. My client has visitors, but it's not every day, and it's not for very long. He really doesn't do a whole lot other than sleep and watch the birds in the backyard, or think about things that trouble him. He tries to write but his stroke has debilitated the left side of his body, and because he just sits in a chair and sleeps, or thinks, he really has no energy. The best times are when we go for walks around the community and see a few people who know him, or go out to a restaurant to eat on Thursdays. Every Monday is a taste of home, because the fish and chips truck roles into town and we have some every week. Because of his stroke he can't concentrate, so when he starts to write something it often trails off into something illegible and incoherent, and this makes him frustrated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfYwIFIbCN0 short little read now kids
