Gero Psych

I wish I could say there has been something really exciting going on in my life that has kept me from posting more in my "journal" over the holiday season. But alas, I have nothing to blame but the lack of desire, since we haven't had anything super exciting going on.
I guess I could tell some stories from work....but working on a geriatric psych unit has given me quite a few experiences that are very graphic/downright disgusting (and funny, if told to the right person). I have had to learn to keep some stories to myself, as I have been known to ruin P's dinner appetite on occasion (in the middle of one story, I hadn't even gotten to the climax/worst part of the experience when he stood up and refused to eat anymore since he had almost thrown up. Literally. Yikes). Do you think I should share?

As a nurse, I can totally appreciate healthcare related stories that involve geriatrics. Makes me feel like I'm not alone in my experiences. I definitely wouldn't mind hearing a story or two :)
