It’s gotta be so frustrating for them. I feel so bad that I can’t help them with what they need

Nursingstudent here, had a pt like this and there was another student assisting me who said later «he should just express what he wants» unironically

As someone who gets hemiplegic migraines and gets temporary expressive aphasia it is literally one of the most frustrating and stressful things. You want to say the words but your mouth will not communicate with your brain

I work in a nursing home and tbh, these are my favourite residents sometimes 😂 They're so patient with us, and there's an added level to the conversation when navigating dementia and aphasia. we have a good time 🫶

My dad had a horrible accident and had severe brain damage he was never supposed to wake up from. He did and he has aphasia. His word was chicken phone, so every sentence was any variation on chicken phone x whatever amount of words he was saying. It was hilarious but he didn’t know he wasn’t speaking normally. He stayed pretty chill for a while about it & added in new phrases but you could Absolutely tell what he was saying using body language & tone.

Had a patient like that once but the only words he could say was “oh god” so he’d press the call light and just say “oh gooooood” “oh god” and when we finally figured it out he threw his hands up and said “OH GOD!” And we all went “praise God we got it” lol

I work on a neuro unit right now and have been there for almost 2 1/2 years. Expressive aphasia is just about the worst. Our therapy staff has cards patients can point at for things if they can't write for some reason. You just gotta have patience because as frustrated as you may be, imagine being the person that can't get their words out.

I was once in this exact situation as a nurse and the patient started crying and then I started crying and then we both started laughing 😭

I once saw a refrigerator filled with kids magnets, all sorts of food items and other necessary items to get through daily life. The patient used them to let us know what he wanted and needed. Even made shoppinglists for his family😊

I had a gentleman come to get a Covid test and he did not speak English. I could get a translator no problem, but I couldn't tell what language he spoke! I was really stumped, but we got there!

It’s so hard because you can see that they know what they want to say, but they just can’t. Breaks my heart 😭

Had a lady come through the ER with this and the look she kept giving us broke my heart because she KNEW what she was trying to say but it wasn’t coming out correctly and I felt so horrible 😭

Dude. This is hilarious. My hubby had a stoke at 38 and this was our life for the first few days. Everything was 2001. The staff were amazing and with speech therapy he’s almost back 100%. The 2001 had me sad but giggling at the same time. 2001! 2001!!

during my practicum for HCA, one of the tenants (assisted living) could only say olly and the care aides were able to have conversations with her! it was amazing to see and definitely a good experience to learn watching body language

we did charades. 🤭 I was a pro 💪 I was so happy I was able to figure it out for her, she would always start crying when the other girls couldn't figure ut out.

“Table! Table table table!” it’s so frustrating for them because cognitively there’s no deficit. They know exactly what they want and exactly what they’re trying to say, and they know they’re not saying what they need to say to get their point across.

this makes me feel so much better as a caregiver at an alf, sometimes i feel guilty when i can’t get what they mean and it takes time but it’s sweet in LTC you understand them so much easier after a year of knowing them
