Ella (another elderly, confused patient): Excuse me, where am I?
(Note: She has been admitted for a few weeks and was talking to me 2 minutes before that.)
Me: You're at St. Mary's Hospital.
Ella: The hospital? Why am I in the hospital?
Me: Well, you were confused. Do you remember who I am?
Ella: Yeah, you're my earth angel. [Smiling up her wrinkled face.]
Me: That's right.
The previous day she had told me she had 100 earth angels, and I was one of them.
Definitely a step up from having the devil on my body.
Why, what was your day like??
