Tales from the Nurses Station


I've shared before a few stories about the cute little lady at the nursing home who calls me Coco. If you didn't see them you can read them here and here.
She is so cute -we all love her and we are often surprised by what she says. She spends a lot of time sitting with us at the nurses station because she is always trying to get up and walk, and if we let her go, she would be falling daily. Anyway - this gives us lots of time to have some interesting conversations with her. Here are a few of her latest:
1) She went through a short streak of calling me "Cuckoo" instead of Coco. Many of the staff thought this is what it should have been all along!
2) One day she said, "Coco - I know how you are. If you are not going to call the Dr for yourself, I'll do it for you. Just look how white you are - there must be something wrong!" (I guess I need to get a little more sun) :)
3) I don't remember what she had been talking about, but I said to her "A, you are so cute!" She responded "Well, I don't have anything else to do, but to sit here and look cute".
4) My friend and co-worker, Nancy was talking to her, when out of the blue she asked Nancy - "do you have your underwear on?" Nancy said - "Well, yes I do" and got the response - "wear it with a smile!"
Sometimes it can be really hectic and crazy at work, but moments like these will brighten even the worst days!
