Some time ago the director of the nursing home with which plays the role coordinator, had asked me to write an article describing in general terms, the life in a nursing home, which ripercorresse rhythms and underline the different experiences that alternate in a typical day.
them for a few days, the road that separates me away from home, I accidentally found myself thinking about what a person in a wheelchair and unable to see whether the fact of having to constantly twist their necks to look at the face of those who do not talk about losing the desire to communicate or ask.
Then, approaching the gate of the structure, the reflection for a long stretch I was buzzing through my head, it is connected to the image of the real and present cancello chiuso davanti a me. Come unire le due cose?
Mi è sembrato quindi naturale e consequenziale chiedere alla direttrice se una simulazione di ricovero poteva essere un argomento interessante per l’articolo.
L’idea è sostanzialmente semplice, simulare di essere un anziano parzialmente autosufficiente per un giorno intero, sottoponendomi a tutte le “cure” che una casa di riposo può offrire.
Ovviamente il confine tra autosufficiente e non è difficilmente superabile da un ventottenne autonomo e ancora, si suppone, nel pieno delle proprie capacità psicofisiche, per cui l’utilizzo di un ausilio che rendesse le cose meno fluide pareva d’obbligo. La soluzione è stata abbastanza ovvia, the wheelchair, I would have accompanied for 24 hours, from nine to nine the following morning.
The next step was to notify the staff and some of the elders who are part of my daily life, personal relationships, in parallel with that work.
The immediate feedback from the operators was spontaneous laughter and dismay at the proposal I made, then you are immediately "turned over" the future of the old good-natured downloading both.
The response of the elderly has been rather different. A subtle admiration was immediately apparent, followed by a covert challenge to resist, especially because of the wheelchair. The idea
appeared to be valid even if they thought impossible, to reason well, I'd be able to really immerse myself in one dimension often elusive and full of suffering, a fact difficult to understand for those who are healthy or self-sufficient.
