Accidental Pleasures
Molly Mullen
As a young nursing student I had a clinical in the nursing home. One day my confused and forgetful client wanted a shower…I grabbed another student and we set about completing the task. We sat her in a PVC pipe chair with the hole in the middle and proceeded to soap her up. This shower had a detachable nozzle so as to get to those hard to reach areas. When I went to wash off her bottom I had to bend down to see the area as she had some “crusties”. With her frail skin I had to be really careful so I set the sprayer on her but and tried to gently remove the debris. I was so focused on my task I didn’t realize or hear my patient as she ooohed and aaahed, exclaiming, “Oh my that feels soooooo good”. Until the other student hit me and said, “What are you doing? Cause it sounds like your getting her off!” I looked up and realized the water was spraying on more than just her dirty behind. I stopped immediately and proceeded to get her out of there fast! I was mortified but what made it hilarious was the patient said, “Why did you stop? That felt soooo good!” Needless to say no one forgot that one!
