Little Old People

Working in the medical profession was always interesting for me.  I worked with the elderly at a long term center.  We had nice patients and others that were hard to handle.  We had people who would throw things, one actually broke a window throwing a water pitcure across the room.  You have your sweet little ones that motion you to come near as they want to whisper to you.  No they don't, they want you up close to hit you!  The little ladies that suddenly have learned to curse like troopers.  The families said they never curse a day in their life and thought that we taught them those words.  We don't speak to the patients that way.  Never.  So Nurses get hit, slapped, cursed at by the patient and sometimes the families, kicked, scratched and bruised by these little old people but it is very rewarding when the meanest of them all says, "I love you!".......
