Loverly, No sweetie, the way it goes down when someone's out of control varies. Safety of patient & staff is most important. I had great skill at calming patients. LOL post incidents, I'd think 'How did I do that'......But the times Geodon (haldol in the day) was needed...trust me it was needed.

Yikes!!! Scary! I think some schizophrenics have history of meth abuse ( and of course some as a result of genetic disorder). I have a cousin who is S. He was such an intelligent and talented guy. Really sad

We had a 5150 the other day. The guy was having heroin (I believe) withdrawal.

Loverly, Have you noticed on W&F's I haven't taken the pic down of the candle holder? She's such an angel on your counter. The light makes her beautiful. I miss her. Sounds crazy, I know. Glass people are different. Same with a love of anything else. Like Smarrty and quilting.

Happy Birthday to our Sweet Rosie.
On our way to the party place. I see some brought their hubbys. Don't we look fabulous.
I think I see that cake in there somewhere. These are of course non caloric.
And afterwards we can have some adult libations. They look kinda healthy.

Just came back from seeing my child-hood friend Carol.... She had that stroke about 3-4 months ago? It was about 4 to 6 hours before anyone found her...
Still has a hard time trying to speak... In a wheel-chair... and has a broken wrist, (somehow)... I took over Pizza & a Key-Lime Pie that I made... Her x-Daughter-in-law, and her fiance' were there... and her Son lives with her now... They all do physical therapy with her...
It's just so hard to see her like this........ She "under-stands" but can't answer anyway that I can understand...... yet... So much patience to work with her.... and she gets so frustrated..... and impatient.... I just thank God everyday for what we have.............
-
Just popped in to see how some old friends are. Glad to see most are doing OK and still sparking.
About to venture forth into USland again and by next Saturday will be in Denver.
Hugs

Happy Birthday Rosie!

Chevy: Really sorry to hear about your friend. There are some interesting studies out there on brain plasticity and how the brain can remap to be able to do things again.
Look for this book: The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. My library has it,, maybe yours does too. I'm not quite finished with it yet, but the chapters I read about stroke patients and their recovery was really really interesting.
Look up Edward Taub, Taub therapy clinic, Constraint-Inducted (CI) Movement therapy. It's all about rewiring the brain.
Also look for AutoCITE. (automated CI therapy) it's for people who can't get to his clinic,,, which if I remember correctly is in Alabama.
I also read about learning a completely different language,, like Japanese,,, can help with recovering speech after a stroke,, again, due to remapping of the brain. Need to look for that citation. There is hope.
Happy Birthday, Rosie!!
