28. I have become an actress.

Sometimes, I become an actress.

A client with dementia.

I greet them at the entrance.

Some days it's "Nice to meet you,"

and other days it's "Welcome home."

Today,

it was the turn of,

"Ricchan, you came all this way, didn't you?"

I become Ricchan.

"Ricchan, did you come by bullet train?"

Feeling a little bewildered,

I answer that I came by car.

"Oh, so you've become able to drive a car."

While I'm taking their blood pressure, they ask again.

"Did you become a doctor?"

……No, I am a nurse.

"Oh my, I'm surprised. You've grown up to be so impressive."

Today, I decided to play the role of fake Ricchan.

I am not Ricchan.
If I deny it like that, sometimes the care cannot proceed.

Even if one suffers from the disease of dementia,
emotions do not disappear.

Today, Ricchan came to visit.

I was happy.

I think that alone makes the visit meaningful.

Next time, it might be "Nice to meet you."

At that time,

I am a nurse who came at the request of your family.

I intend to introduce myself that way.
