Tonight D had to be changed four times between 7pm and 10pm.

At some point, you stop questioning life and just start speed-walking down the hallway with wipes, gloves, and pure survival instincts.

Memory care really keeps you humble because one minute you’re redirecting someone out of another resident’s room, and the next you’re performing your fourth change of the night while trying to remember if you charted literally anything.

Because if you don’t laugh in healthcare, you’ll absolutely lose your mind.
