It’s the old resident who fails to remember using his body: Parkinson. At meal times, he takes the spoon to his lips but forgets to open his mouth.
He uses a walker for some exercise steps around, my hands grab his feet behind him to push them forward, and I have to repeat “Tukéééé, Tata, tukéééé!” to make his knees and legs move up.
The other residents help him a lot and it’s so nice to see that!
Every other day I massage his knees. He puts his glasses on and opens his eyes, just like a child!
One Sunday he was nearly walking around, by himself! And I manage to have a conversation with him! It made my day. “-You’re on great form today Tata!!”
“-Its because… yesterday I didn’t see you… but today… you’re here…”
So cute! It actually was my Saturday day off!!
