Rug

LucieLou

I agree with the plant set up, most likely, would be African Violets, which are very hard to grow, and need special lighting. As for the rug, i bet the moisture from these old cement floors caused the backing to rot and stick like glue to the floor. So they couldnt get the rug up without damaging it, so they choose to leave it.

Leg Braces

LucieLou

Amanda, I also had to wear braces when i was very young, not exactly like these, but, also because my feet turned inward. The ones i wore even had a bar attached to each shoe to hold my feet out. Im glad it fixed the problem and walk fine now, hope yours did the job and you are walking good now too!

Watching the Outside

LucieLou

out of all the photos ive seen lately, this one really got to me, whether this chair belonged to the staff or a patient, as some of the post suggest, its a sad, lonely, reality of someones past. I hope who ever sat in this poor room didnt die scared and totally alone .
