jude, i worked for the aaa mid atlantic for 12 years before i got into nursing. yes excellent shot as usual motts..

again Motts, another amazing gallery. thank you

beautiful shot, just beautiful

triptych? sounds like something AAA would offer members

danville, thats close to me, ill have to go to see the Kirkbride for myself

motts, totally surreal, excellent shot!

true, it is so sad, we just had a resident transferred to another facility yesterday, and when i came on shift, everything was gone, even the name plate on the door.

good job ~me, being an supporter of Motts and his artwork, im emailing those idiots now.

in some situations, hydrotherapy was a so called 'therapy' for psych patients, but also it was used for patients in nursing homes and hospitals who had contracted limbs, to try to relax to muscles, so they could try to straighten them out a bit, the water was very warm, sort of like a hot tub.

lynne, its great to hear from someone who knows, and really cares. there is alot of us out there.

lynne, being a county run home, we are lucky if our residents get no-slip socks, the ones we do get , 'disappear' into the great sock unknown. working the graveyard shift, if a resident decides to get up in the middle of the night we make sure they have socks and shoes on. ive been run over by many a speed demon in a wheelchair . usually their 2nd wind starts about 1:00am. the salvation army sends gifts at xmas, usually a stuffed animal and no slip socks, once they get sent to be labeled, we are lucky to get them back. usually the aides and nurses will purchace them on their own and give them to the residents. what the county dosent give, we give out of our hearts. gotta love the dollar store.....

ladies, i agree totally, we have quite a few collectors at my place, everything to towels, wash cloths, attends, food, false teeth, etc.

motts, once this private company builds a new building for the county's infirm, ill see if i can get you a tour of the old building.

thanks for the feedback, actually i work for one of the last remaining county homes in pa, soon to be taken over by a private company. there are 3 drawers one on top of another, you have to have one person at the feet and one at the head and place the person in sideways, its a very small morgue, no exam tables or equipment.

great comments lynne (as usual) as the saying goes, walk a mile in my shoes.....
