Everyone loves a "critic!" It seems that at a local church dinner,..one of Bill's friends saw a problem, which occurs for me when I chew and swallow, that I usually cover up with a discreet napkin. This "friend" related his disgust to my son, "Your mother drools when she eats!! My mom says that is because your mom once had a stroke. My grandma had a stroke and we put her away in a nursing home!! Mom says that is where people like "THAT'..belong!"
Bill's answer did me proud, "Well,..my mom used to get people like your grandma OUT of nursing homes and teach them how to live safely by themselves. And my mom takes care of people,.that your mom would lock up! Did you ever think that people like my mom are the ones, who take care of people like your grandma?"
The boy has learned something in twenty-three years!!
I am in love with the telephone that my one older client uses!! She has a hearing loss, which was caused by her massive stroke and I can actually HEAR on her telephone as it has been adjusted for her hearing loss.
The man, who sold her the telephone,.was supposed to call her the other morning for a demonstration of how powerful the phone's volume is. I think that the call took place while I was there to give her her diabetic shot.
The phone rang and I picked it up!! Did you know that you can actually HEAR other people BREATHING on such a telephone with this wonderful adjustment?????
I answered a phone call for my client the other day and I actually heard BREATHING on the other end of the line! I was enthalled!! I even let my client listen and she was amazed too!!
"THIS IS WONDERFUL!" my ninety seven year old friend exclaimed!! I wonder why the "breather" said "BITCHES" before we had a chance to tell him how much we appreciated his call!!!!???!!!
