This older Chinese Lady,


In this hamlet, there is this older, demented Chinese Lady.
She still lives on her own.
But, well, she acts strange...
She collets all kind of rubish, get stuff out of peoples bicycle bags, and takes all kind of stuff with her, to her place.

If shops have clothes hanging outside, she takes some of that with her too.
Collect all kind of garbage....

Her know this, and try to keep her at her house, but, well, what can you do?

So, the other day, she was walking around with small clothes, all collected.
I noticed her before and thought; hmm, there is something going on, with this woman..

An other day, i saw her again, she started talking, in Chinese, ofcourse to me.
A whole story... About gods knows what....

Later i talked with a shop owner, he told me, her grown up do what they can, but, what can you do?
Every now and then, they clean out her house, but all that sruff, gives her security.
so taking it all away can make things even worst
Get her in a panick, and then she will take more and more into her appartment...

There are also people who know how to take advantage of someone like this Lady,
nasty pieces of shit.

The other day, she just took a real big pack of toiletpaper from a bike.
Just like that.
She is very fast!
I know the woman, she stole that from, that woman was really very angry, i just told her; she is demented, you can not get angry at her!
How much does toilet paper cost, anyway, nowadays!

I can laugh about it, but it is also very sad....
I did not see her, for a long time now....
I wonder what happened to her, i will ask this shopowner.....

It takes a village
In the small hamlet where my Mother stayed was a young man, ( He grew up there), who wandered about and liked hats. Everyone knew him and watched out for him. If he saw a hat that he fancied, he would switch the one on his head for it. He always smiled.... and always giggling... He was lucky to be so happy... and watched over

When I was working undercover as a cab driver there was an old man in a nursing home in Commerce City. He was in a lockdown room but somehow he always snuck out to a phone and called for a cab, the message would appear on my screen with his name and address; Sneaking out North side window at 7:21 sharp, be waiting.
Distract the nurse so I can get to the front door.
Will be hiding in the front bushes.
There were dozens of version, I always drove him around a few minutes then back to the front door and walked him in, he then seemed satisfied that he was in the right place. The place had changed ownership but the front sign was still the same. He would hear the nurses answer the phone with the new name and decide he had to go to the right home so he would sneak to the phone and call a cab.
The dispatcher sent me all the way across Denver to pick him up after he got on a bus looking for the right nursing home, He had been gone all day, riding buses until one driver asked where he lived, "Call me a cab" he said, "They know where I live."

As you say, One day we could be that old lady!

This is a terribly difficult situation for everyone, especially her family..

I hope she is OK

likeit,
Yeah, that is great!

Most people around here, are very racist.
So, i dont think there are many people who would watch out for her, alas...
They treat her as if she is a nuisance.....what can you do?

joseph,
what a story!
Good, you always were the one, to pick him up and bring him back....

Yes, they always want to go "home', or back to their farm, they have to mild the cows, or their mother is waiting for them...
Always that kind of stories....

Odd,
Well, if you look at it, like this, by that time, you really dont have any idea any more, so it will be harder for the family to watch...

"You" are already 'gone', in some very special way...
It is the moment in between, when they have clear moments and dont get things, thát is the hardest to hande.

jenny,
Yes, especially, when you know dementia and other diseases run in your family.....

Although, the food intake you do, can have a very big positive impact in preventing those diseases...

I will ask around, she what i can find out, about her....
