Alarmed Beds and Comic Relief

As Sam becomes more aware, she thinks she can do things that she actually, physically can not, such as walk. This morning the nurses found Sam on the floor next to her bed. Fortunately she hadn't hurt herself and was fine, but they now have alarmed her bed and put mats down on both sides in case she falls out of bed again. This is, I am sure a good sign, but yet it is something else that I will be worried and concerned about for awhile. When I arrived this morning, Sam was in a very active and alert mood and we had a very good day together. There was a bit of comic relief when I overheard her roommate and her talking. Her roommate asked her how she was doing and Sam said she had an bad allergy. Her roommate said, "what , you have a bad attitude?" and Sam said ...ahh, yes I guess I do. Her roommate then said "I do too..." and they both continued this way for awhile. Later on, Kathy, her roommate said that Sam and she had met a long time ago. Sam said "yeah, I think it was when I was around 21 years old or so." Her roommate agreed. I then piped up and said that was not possible, and her roommate said, "well between my brain and Sam's we don't now what the hell is going on". Perhaps I was overtired, but I just was laughing out loud for half the afternoon listening to the two of them go back and forth. It was much needed relief.
