Stewardess, Stewardess!

I am a charge nurse on a 60 bed heavy care floor of a 240 bed nursing home. My little story is about a little 92 year old lady I will call Flo. One day while sitting at my desk Flo, who could not walk, was using her leg's to move her wheel chair down the hall.

Suddenly she started to callout "Stewardess, Stewardess." When I approached her to ask what was wrong she said, "Could you please get my bag from the overhead compartment?" Agreeing to this, I got her bag from from the closet in her room. She the looked up at me with a big smile and said, "Thank you but the next time I'm taking the bus." All I could do was agree and laugh.

A few minutes later one of our house physician's came the floor and asked what I was laughing at. I looked up at him, and said to Flo, "Here's the pilot, any problems with this flight ask him to fix it."
