Day Nineteen

Thursday was yet another great day. Despite the rain, we had a lot of fun with the residents. To shake it up a bit, we lined residents up in rows rather than a circle and put an aerobics video on. I was surprised at how many residents got excited and involved in the exercises. I guess it was because it was something different to their daily routine. Thursday was also a bit upsetting because I learned that one of the residents on my floor, Eva, had passed away early in the morning. It was very strange because she was talking and acting fine most of Wednesday. Then I find out that she's gone. It's weird that one day someone could feel great and act fine, but then the next their gone. I guess that’s just a part of the job though. That’s probably why they told us in the beginning not to get too attached to the residents, because when their time does come, it’s hard to let go.
