Belinda is an 80 year old woman that is in the Silver Lining Nursing Home. She is only supposed to be in the home while she is being rehabilitated after having surgery; at which time she will be going back to her own home.
Darnella is her roommate. She is older than Belinda and gets, what seems to be, "special" treatment. You see, Darnella's family is with her at least ten hours every day so she is catered to by the nursing home staff, as well as her family. Belinda rarely has any visitors and is the last one to get up and out of bed, to get her call button answered, and to be fed.
I sadly wonder if Belinda is wondering, 'why does she get special treatment?' I also wonder if Darnella realizes how blessed she is compared to the majority of the residents in the home.
You know, if I were "the home" I would cater more to those that do not have loved ones visiting on a regular basis. I would want them to feel just as special as their neighbor!
