I got a firsthand look at how understaffed our hospitals and nursing homes are today. My boyfriend's mom is in rehab, post hip surgery. He and I went to buy some hair scrunchies and elastics for her. When we arrived to see her and give her stuff, she said she had the same hair elastic in her hair for the past 3 weeks. I don't know why someone didn't take it out when she was admitted or tried to wash her hair other than lack of staff. Her hair was so matted. My boyfriend and I spent about an hour combing her hair out with a detangler and detangling comb. We had cut some of her hair off, but thankfully not too much. I braided her hair in the hopes it wouldn't get so bad before her discharge date. The nurses don't need to comb her hair or cut it, but it's sad that they are so overworked that they can't even notice things like that.
