    A very paranoid young man said that I could use his "full and legal name" when working with other people with schizophrenia, so that they would know that my interventions "really worked, with real people."

    When one of my people come up and hug my neck and says, "I love you!"
    I work with the mentally/physically challenged.....and they can express emotions just like anyone else.
    It makes my day when one of them does that!

    i was given a beautiful scarf from my first follow through and an offer for dinner on them when she returns from india. Lovely woman. 24 hour labour, many hours on sinto and ended up with a c section and it was my first and i was asked if i wanted to scrub in and hold a retractor. as a first year thats rare. I thanked my woman so much for letting me get so personal with her......lol, i know her inside out now!!!! she now calls me friend, not student!!!
