Tongue Funny story about a patient of mine
At least I hope you will think its funny!


A while ago I worked at a nursing home. Living there was a gal that was one of my favorite patients. She was a teeny tiny little thing, blind, with some dementia, but she was a fire cracker. We had to be careful around her, because if we bumped her she would grab what ever she could and twist. Can you say OW BABY!

At any rate, she would often talk about Charles. About how much she loved Charles, how special he was. In her delusional times she would vocally live whatever was going on in her memory; "Oh Charles, I have missed you. Charles are you hungry? Whats the matter Charles, don't you like your meat loaf? Charles, you've dirtied my kitchen floor!"

Above her bed was a large black and white photograph in an antique gilded frame. It showed her and her handsome husband, both young, sitting under a tree in the middle of a pasture, a little white clapped house in the background. One day as she was talking about Charles, I made a comment on how handsome he was. Her blind eyes zeroed in on me with lucid attention.
"How do you know that?" she snapped.
"Well, I am looking at your photo above your bed. He was a real cutie." I answered.
"Oh, that was Henry, my husband. He was a real SOB! Charles was my pet pigeon."

ROFL! I kept her secret, and loved it when the other aids would admire the devotion she kept for Charles. LOL

C'mon cata5, you know this one. ROLF - rolling over legs first.
Much better than rolling over head first. Right, Rayann?

Thanks for the amusing story, mayfly.
