Diaper Confetti

There's a patient with behavioural problems in my ward. While it is qt a nightmare for the nursing staff, the things he do sometimes make me laugh.

Just when i was wondering why there were so many paper/cotton bits on the floor, i was told that last night, he tore up his diapers and threw the bits into the air!

It makes me laugh when i recall the image of him doing so, but it also reminds me how sad it is to have dementia.

If i live long, i hope to be healthy and not be a burden to my loved ones :)
