The silence in a house after you clean it
Finished a job this afternoon. The family's knick-knacks all back in place, carpet steamed, nothing out of order. But the silence in that living room was heavier than the mess ever was. Made me stop and think about how much noise we leave behind without noticing.

The same thing happens after a patient leaves and we clean their room. Clean doesn't feel like relief — it's the quiet that tells you what's missing, heavier than the mess ever was.
