Sorry if anyone had difficulty understanding my post. I'm a text freak, and have a unique style of texting- not applicable here. I will in the future keep my posts and replies traditional:}

No I believe the poster was sent to Geri-psych and didn't like that she was not orientated. I have worked Geri-psych and yes these patients are one of a kind at times.
