When I worked as a CNA, we had a patient that was, well, interesting to say the least. He was also a pervert, but that's not where I'm going with this story.
I worked mostly evenings and nights, and would get some down time to spend with the patients before bed. This man was someone that I didn't particularly like to spend time with, but because he needed "extra care" before bed, I got to spend some time talking to him.
This man was rather large- 300 pounds, and about 5'5. He also came in with minimal hygiene, and as I previously said, liked to hit on the teenage and younger females who worked. He also liked to tell stories about his wife and girlfriend. He would always say he was worried when his girlfriend visited that his wife would also walk in and catch the two of them together.
I found it hard to believe that this man had one woman interested in him, let alone two. But since he had kids, I knew there was at least one woman. The last story he told me, was about how his girlfriend ran away to Florida to get herself a new man. He had left everything behind to go get her back, and that's why he was back in the hospital- he didn't have any of his meds for a while.
Today, I found that he has passed on from this life. And he also had a girlfriend. She happens to be the grandmother to one of my friends.
However, he had no reason to worry about his wife walking in, she has been dead since the 80's.
I really want to ask my friend if his grandmother went to Florida...
