I just keep telling myself... "I love my job"
So I'm in the hall talking to one of my patients, and the conversation goes something like this:
Pt: Live life. It's free. But don't be TOO free. I'm 100. I can say that.
Me: Good point Pt.
Pt: Really, this advice is free. You have to take life as it comes. I can say that, I'm 90.
Me: You just said you were 100.
Pt: It doesn't matter. How young are you?
Me: I'm 28.
Pt: 28? That's great. ... ... You need to lose weight.
Me: Umm... Thanks, Pt.
Pt: Seriously. No mostaccoli for a month.
Me: O.K.
Pt: I can say that. 'Cause I'm 82.

Let me guess--s/p aneurysm, CVA, fall w/ mild TBI? I'm so jealous--you OT's have the best stories. I miss those confused and agitated patients.
Hey that was not anonymous, that was Travelin' PT
Are you a PSW?
I'm in social services too...but my clients are youth with mental illness....I remember being so mad at them one day, they were fighting and not getting along, and just generally being bad asses. *I had 10 boys that lived in the house I managed*, I was so fed up with them, it was med time, and I was getting my keys out to distribute meds, and told them they were all nuts.
They fell over laughing. I guess its good to have a sense of humor about those things....
Yeah, our patients keep asking all the girls if they're pregnant. none of them are....
Gina: pretty much... minus the aneurysm.
PP: Im an occupational therapist on a brain injury unit.
Linny: I swear that the only age where you are responsible for what comes out of your mouth is between 17 and 70.
Hey!
Nice avatar.

Dear Kater,
I think they key to happiness is reading my blog everyday. I can say that because I'm... well, I'm not going to admit my age.
I think you're fabulous as is. I can say that cause I'm 26. Or 24.
Phil: That explains why I've been in such a good mood lately. I check your blog all the time. No code of conduct post yet though.....
Courtney: You are such a doll. Why do you have to live in TX??
