Day Nine

Today was horrible! I walked into Woodcrest in a great mood and left there stressed out of my mind. It started off like any other day until I was asked by one of the nurses to watch Audrey again. I had no problem with it because we got along well yesterday and even held some good conversations. But today was different with her. She was much more active and agitated. Every ten seconds or so she would try and stand up to walk around, so we put her by a table to keep her busy. Instead, she just kept pushing the table away, trying to get away from that as well. Audrey is a resident that is definitely not capable of walking on her own so it was difficult to try and convince her to stay in her seat. At one point though, she got so frustrated with me that she started to swing at me and even scratched my hand. At that point I just called for a nurse and they took over, but it wasn't the best experience ever. After that I was asked by our floors activity boss, Kam, to run a couple of simple errands. I think she knew I was pretty upset about what had just happened. Only after that, Kam started to get on my case about little things. She is known to be a bit bossy and strung out, but today was far worse than what I'm used to dealing with. I felt like she was watching my every move, waiting for me to not do something her way so she could call me out on it. All I know is that when 12:30 came around I had no problem heading out at the end of the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be a less stressful day there.
