A black Friday.

I keep writing this blog because of my current placement.
Well, obviously this is an interesting placement.
I'm writing the 100th post now.
How fun it is!!

Today, I wonder why...
most of the residents have been really unstable (emotionally).
During early in the morning, two female residents had a fight due to ?? somehow??
One said, "She's the nasty bitch!"
Woo.. Oh my goodness!! Wth is going on?!
My preceptor and I just went out the staff room, tried to calm down and separate them two.

In the afternoon, a male resident went wrongly into a female resident's room.
She just yelled out loudly, non-stop until we settled all down.
She is quite nice sometimes but definitely not today.
She has been lying down on her bed for a whole day, not changing her nighty and nappies either.
It is odd. Really strange, don't know why...

Just before I finished,
when I was playing chest with a male resident,
another unpleasant man came and asked me some questions.
And then, he started complaining people stepping into his house.
Well, I told him, this isn't his house. His room is up the other way, right in the corner, and now, he is in the sharing room with other residents. He got confused and strongly saying that this house was bought by him. Two males started arguing the ownership of the house. Hmmp! Hmmp!! Wth is going wrong?! I had no idea how to cool him down actually, with my poor little communication skills in English. And then, someone came. He went away.

After this, when I was getting out of one of the resident's room, he asked me what am I doing in that room (in a poor manner). Well, I was quite frustrated because of his behaviours just now. So, I said to him, "I didn't do anything, just visited a friend." He tried to catch me but I walked faster. And then, he asked me where's his room. I showed him the way and tried my hard to bring him in. When I was going to shut his door after this, he just stopped me. I was going to run away at that time. He caught me and asked me do I know english. (Because he actually asked me to let the door open and I was going to close it. Well, because I wanted to...) He was actually lighting the matches in my heart. I told him, "Yes, I know English, but somehow I don't know what are you talking about." I went away from him and got into the staff room straight the way. I leaved myself into peace afterward. Wth is going wrong with him today, I was thinking in my mind.

The story has not finished yet. Later on, when I have done a neuro observations on someone, I passed through him. He asked me, what am I doing here, i.e "his place" (or "his bought house").
I said, " Nope, nothing. I'm leaving now."
He: "Living? Where?"
Me:" I'm leaving now."
He: "When?" Me: "Now. Right now!"
And then, I took my bag and leaved. Let myself out of his sight for days. What's a day!!

I was nearly having a fight with this English man during the end of the shift.
Actually, I shouldn't do that on him.
He's sick. He has been diagnosed with dementia for ages. I was trying not to arguing with him. But, he seems to be rude all the time. He is the one who always has the questions to ask, confused all the time. But, when you wanna show him something or going to ask him to do something, he will become impatient and staring at you, "Don't teach me. I know how to do it." or "I'm not the child." Well, even though he wants to wash his hands after toileting, he doesn't really know where the soap is. When you are telling him, he would say, "I knew that, don't you show me." What?! -.- Lame! He thinks he is the smartest one, he probably was but not now. He always thinks that he is the right one and we're too wrong. Well, certainly not.

Anyway, I'm still learning how to deal with him.
Only hope that, after the four weeks placement later, I would be more patient with all his unusual behaviours.

Getting to. Fingers crossed for that.

Tomorrow IELTS for the first trial.
Will be in trouble. I reckon.
Bless me please.
