Today me and my mam were going to visit my nanny in Cherry Orchard Hospital. We got a 67 bus to Palmerstown and then an 18 bus to the entrance of Cherry Orchard Hospital. I hadn't visited my nanny in a long time because she was really sick. My nanny has dementia and alzheimer's. She is now 85 and she gets treated like a baby because she has to be fed, washed and many other things. When we went up there she was in a room with about 6 other people with the same illness and they were just sitting on chairs in a trance. It looked creepy and there was a smell of old people. We were with her for about 1.30hr and she was sitting there like a baby would and if we said something she would just say "WHAT?!" I felt sorry for my mam because I'd say it would be hard for anybody to see their mother like that.
There was 1 woman who was going around banging on walls and the rest of them were snoring. I even got upset at one stage because where these people were living and how they were living was really not how you would like to live. I know I wouldn't like to see my mam like that or my children to see me like that. My nanny was okay but she changes really quickly, like one minute she's really nice and then she changes and becomes really snappy and won't let anyone talk to her or touch her and she basically turns into a bitch and she gets violent too. I felt really sorry for my mam because my mam was trying to hold my nanny's hand and she tried to hit my mam. Lucky my mam ducked but if my nanny did hit her, it would've been hard because she had so much power in her hand when she went to hit my mam. My mam got upset and then we left. We got the bus into town and then home.
I think after that I just hung out with Brian until I had to be home for 11pm. We just hung out in Brian's estate and then me, Brian and his friends went down to Spar to get food. Me and Brian left because he was going to walk me home earlier. We walked through St. Raphael's and hung out there for a little while, messing and taking pictures and talking. I really do have so much fun with him and then we had like 1 hour to go before I had to be home and we went back over to the little green where Brian's friends were. We hopped over the wall between St. Raphael's and Grattan Court. Me and Brian just sat on the high wall for a while talking to his friends and then when it was coming towards 10.40 we jumped off the wall onto the main road and Brian walked me home. It was a good day all in all.
