an old lady stopped @ my house last night around 5pm, didn't speak english - when she was trying to explain what was happening, it sounded like she said that she was locked out of her house and wanted to sleep at my place. I was like ???, uhh no sorry, I can't help you. So she left...about an hour and a half later, she's back asking for help again. I notice she's carrying around a cordless phone so I figure she's gotta live around the area and I tell her that she should call the police so they can help her - she asks me to do it for her since she doesn't speak english, so I do. I tell them what is going on, I have no idea who she is and I've never seen her in the neighborhood before, the operator speaks spanish so she talks to the lady, turns out she got dizzy, got up, left her place, and now doesn't know where she is or where she lives. When I get back on with the operator and give them my address to send a ambulance over, it turns out the # I was calling from (her cordless phone) is the phone for the house next door - I had never met this lady because she never leaves the house. So I bring her inside to sit down and I know that my landlord upstairs knows who she is so we go get her, and my landlord calls the lady's son. So my gf and my landlord take her home, the lady thanks me for getting her sorted out (several praise the lords and whatnot). Our other neighbor up the street is fluent in spanish and goes to help her out and once they get her in her apartment, she doesn't remember that she was gone and she doesn't remember that it's her apartment, even after them showing pictures to her to show it was her place.
So I saved an old lady last night cause she would have froze to death if I didn't help her. We're still a bit nervous cause she could've still gotten up after everyone left and wandered around but I think a few of the neighbors stayed up to "keep guard". The son is now going to put her into a home so she doesn't do this again. Serious case of Alzheimers...it was sad but I was glad she was okay.
