Volunteer Hours (+5)

02/13/13
Today was my second day I volunteered at the hospital. It was pretty fun until I seen a lady with Alzheimer's and asked where her husband was and I didn't know what to tell her because i was a fairly new volunteer and I really didn't know where her husband was. So I told her i would get back to her about it so i could ask someone and once i found out what happened i tried to tell her and all she said was, "what're you talking about?" and at first i looked all confused because she just literally asked me a minute ago and she immediately forgot. I thought it was scary because I thought she was just tripping out and then i realized that she has Alzheimer's and it made me feel really sad. All i could do was just have a conversation with her about whatever she brought up.
I didn't get to spend much time with my mentor today so I just went with the flow and did what the patients wanted to do.
