One little lady who happened to be Dale's cousins wife got all upset one night & they were going to give her a shot to calm her down. I bet she didn't weigh 100# soaking wet, tiny little lady. It only took 5 of us to give her the shot.

We were told to never go into a certain mans room alone & to try to stay out of his reach while working around him. He was just plain mean! He would throw feces at the walls & you if you weren't careful.

Isn't it strange how the mind can change as some folks get older. Some good christian ladies & gents could curse like sailors. In fact I wonder if sailors knew some of those words.

We had one lady, her name was Daisy, who screamed like a banshee when we went to give her a bath. She would hit,scratch, pinch & spit. I swear they could hear her down down town. She could get out of a posey belt faster than you could fasten it on her. You couldn't keep her in bed. She would go into other patients rooms (she was in a wheel chair, couldn't walk) & eat talc powder & lotion. But ask her to sing certain songs & she sang them word for word. She went up & down the halls all day long calling for "Scottie" her son.

She had some little sores on her hands. She got to picking at them & got them infected. She had to have surgery on them. Her doctor went to the mental hospital & got leather cuffs to cuff her to the arms of her wheel chair & the bed rails to keep her from picking at the sores. It was almost a full time job just keeping up with her!

I got a terrible bite from a man in the same nursing home. But that is another story. I rambled on too long as it is.
