Blood, Shit and Piss

I have completed the Basic Home Care Course offered by the Nursing council.
I'll find out next week if I passed. I know for a fact that I failed the Blood Pressure.
We have to hear the reading change, and I suck at it.
Should have practiced.

And this is a vital stat, so I may have to do some practical make up.

Anyways, as my lecturer said, if you can't stand blood, piss and shit.. this work not for you.

So what does this have to do with my living situation.

In reality, my father is getting older, that means he gets sick more often.
And he is not as tidy in the bathroom.

But as you learn if you do the course, or have some people sense. You are not supposed to make the person you are caring for, feel ahow about their disease, state etc etc.

My sister does not understand it. Her focus is things.
As the dead lady said, and she was a real people sense person.
When I complained about the dynamic in my house, since my mother died.

You all do not know how to give each other space.

I, being a physical upbringing lack of mother influence myself.
Responded, But it's a five bedroom house with only four people living in it, there should be enough room for each of us.

At this point my aunt shook her head and muttered, and they think you bright.
She liked to use "Bright" a lot. It was a sign she was being sarcastic.

She then explained.

I'm not talking about physical space, for example
Do you see that scissors ( I don't really remember the object, but I am paraphrasing as I understood it and the course I took)
Yes, so how it just lying there. Now it is L (someone not currently present) who leave it there.
It should go back in the holder ( it is a pencil holder)

But my aunt's concept of giving  L space was to leave the scissors there because when she came back to look for it she would remember where she put it, and look for it there.

So the point is, sometimes you have to think person, not thing.

Some people do this naturally, some people need to be taught.

I admit, I am in the taught category.

But the point is I learned.

And also objects do not equal money.

I'm just tired. And given how my aunt was treated. I don't want her anywhere near my father's care.
