I have an owie.
Sorry I have disappeared for the last week. I have been doing my uni mental health clinical placement and have spent much of the week in a locked psych ward at one of my local hospitals. It's great fun with heaps of interesting cases, such as:- A woman in her mid 50's who believes she was attacked by aliens who impregnated her. According to her she has been pregnant for 12 months.
- A schizoaffective guy with serious anger management issues, who tells me that he's into blondes who have my body type and that if I were a blonde I'd be in serious trouble. he also mentioned that he could always kidnap me and dye my hair blonde. (Before anyone panics, he is the sanest of the lot and is mainly joking around... I hope.)
And... (the piece de resistance)
- A guy who is a potential serial killer. He used to pinch children because he likes it when they say ouch, and he once killed a duck because he was interested in finding out what temperature duck fat burns at.
Like I said... INTERESTING.
I really like it and I'm seriously considering majoring in mental health nursing next year.
On the "owie" front, I broke my toe last night when I tripped over a rug at home and got my little toe caught. But I was on my way to work for a night shift and I didn't have time to ice it or rest it. As a result the bruising this morning is pretty spectacular. When I find a digital camera I'll post some photos just so that I can advertise the extent of my injuries. :o)
I got home from work about an hour ago and I'm too jazzed to sleep, despite having only 3 and a half hours sleep in the last 24 hours, so I guess I'm gonna have to pop a DVD on until I settle down.
ADDENDUM - 15:15: I have worked out how to text photos from my phone to my e-mail account. These photos of my toe were taken this morning after my post. Since then more bruising has developed. :o( Poor me.
You can just see the greyish blue bruising in the top of my foot.
The bruising between the two toes has got worse since this morning.
That bruising is a dark grape colour and this morning
the middle of it was red from the bleeding inside my toe.
That is bruising, not shadow.
WOOHOO!!! Photos!!! I rock!!!

Your job sounds interesting! Of course, I just get those types CALLING me every day. LOL.
Great blog!
yaeli - I'll be back! michele sent me and now I have to run on a work thing...poor toe!
This sounds very suspicious to me ... I know about a guy's ankle... Much nicer picture than last sunday's , though... Hope you are over this soon.
I have to say - ouch. This is the second blog I've been to sporting foot injuries.
I hope you heal soon. Take care of yourself.
(and hello from Michele)
Hello, Michele sent me, nice lil virtual pet there! Cheers!
My dear lovely hurt Yaeli. I'm so sorry you had to endure such pain. I've thought I'd broken toes a few times in my life but I never quite did it. So I guess congratulations are in order here, Yaeli. You've succeeded where so many times I've failed.
Michele has sent me to visit you and kiss away your pain. *kiss*
And you sure did spring upon JoeC very fast when he posted! LOL
Just for teasing me, cutie pie, I've double posted to you. Ha!
You'll have to use that phone and take some pictures at work. I've never seen a serial duck killer before. Though I guess a lot of hunters would qualify...
Michele sent me to visit your beautiful self, Yaeli.
By the way, are the Australian expressions I noted on my blog real ones? I'd not heard them before I looked them up on the web.
Hello hello! Michele sent me. That looks pretty bad there. Think you broke your toe? Ouch... hurt toes suck. But, it could always be worse. Chin up and keep up with the nifty phone photos. Fun!
I am cringing. I've broken my little toe many times. Yeouch!
Michele sent me! :)
Owie! I've had a broken toe before and that's just not fun.

I broke a toe once. You become very aware of your personal space. Especially in crowded areas!
Forgot to say Michele sent me!
VERY interesting cases this week! Love hearing about them. Is there a disorder name for people who enjoy pinching? A few years ago there was a woman around here hanging out in grocery stores, sticking straight pins into the legs of kids, and then acting concerened when they started crying. This would all happen in the checkout line - beyond crazy.
I had a similar toe wound a couple of weeks ago. My entire toe was purple...Ouch!
visitng from michele's this morning.
Hi Yaeli,
Just nipped over from Michele's place.
[looks around] nice place you have here - I must link to it when I get home.... :-)

That's really interesting stuff. I'd love to hear more about how psych patients differ from what they show us in the movies.
Michele sent me. Now go get that toe fixed!
Good Morning! Michele sent me. How interesting is your job?!?! WOW!
hope that toe gets better quick.
Michele sent me this morning! Hello. :-)
