I work with the elderly and people with various disabilities. This week I have surpassed myself and made things so much worse by apologising profusely.
To the gentleman without legs: Would you like to go for a walk?
To the partially sighted lady: Yes I see
To the gentleman who has dementia: Do you remember..?
I feel just terrible, wretched and awful. I am normally so tactful, but have had a rotten week. They were all so nice about it and the gentleman with no legs kept cracking his own jokes.
But really, I am so embarrassed.
Please tell me I am not the only one
