=== T ===
i don't like routinary things so i usually visit my patients not in the same order...
i visited (T) first and he was at the dining room facing the t.v., asleep.... i said hi to him but he didnt open his eyes....i tried again, louder this time, same thing....i just sat to the the chair next to him and would just rub his left shoulder from time to time....


=== P ===
i saw (P) in the dining hall sitting on a couch, her eyes closed....when i said hi i think i startled her and she looked at me surprised....the first thing she asked is "where's my sister?".... i learned my lesson, this time i said "i'm sorry (P), i don't know where she is"..... she just closed her eyes again.... i just sat next to her rubbing her shoulders from time to time.... she would open her eyes every now and then and ask for her sister but that's about it....she was calm that day....


=== I ===
(I) is also in the dining room and i was watching her talking to another elderly woman while i was sitting with (P).... i also heard her sing some march thing that i used to hear my grand father play when i was just a lil girl..... i have to take note of that....

anyway, when it's time for (I) i saw that very welcoming smile again and heard her say "oh there you are!"..... there's a cute teddy bear sitting on the dining table infront of her that i saw her playing with while i was with (P) and i complimented how cute the teddy bear is and she just said she doesn't know who that belongs to.... anyway, i just let her talk most of the time, she likes talking.... then she asked how are we related and i told her i'm her friend then she said "oh, can i keep you?" to which i replied "yes, ofcourse"...and she replied with "oh, good! good!" ......


=== J ===
she's not in the dining room so i went to her room ...... i knocked at the door and saw her room on her bed sleeping.... she opened her eyes and smiled at me when she saw me.... i sat next to her bed and she just looked at me as if confused why i'm there....so i had to repeat to her that i'm there to visit her....she said "oh, yeah?" and then smiled at me....she was lying with her back on the bed and her head was tilted a bit to face me and she just stared at me and i was just smiling at her but she looked like she was contemplating on whether she'll make a conversation (which she normally does) or if she'll just snooze.....and then she tilt her head facing the ceiling again and closed her eyes....yeah, she decided to sleep..... i stayed there for a bit.... i was starting to sneeze like crazy so i decided to cut my visit short before i give her colds....
