I know many of you may feel that mothers are the closest things we have to angels here on earth and you’re right; but mothers have a vested interest in their children. Nurses, on the other hand, have a job to do with no vested interest in their patients—they do what they do because they care. I just spent six days in a hospital because of an infected toe. My room was small with no windows and I was hooked up to an IV pump the whole time. The care I got from these nurses was fantastic. They were all kind, caring, loving and encouraging. Some were quick witted and they all had a great sense of humor. Furthermore, I wasn’t the only one getting this wonderful level of care. I could hear the same level of care being administered up and down the floor. Some of these patients were very sick and some were crabby, but that didn’t stop these nurses from cheerfully doing their thing. So, if you want to see some real live angels in action here on earth, all you have to do is visit a hospital and look around. These angels spend their entire day making the world a better place and I, for one, am thankful they’re here.

Hello Ross
I was in the hospital for the one and only time in early 2013 and aids and nurses were unbelievable to me
I couldn’t agree more. Caring for others and helping heal the spirit takes a special person. Nursing and the medical profession is into the third generation of our family and I am proud of the 8 family members that either have or do help patients daily.
Thanks for your comments Bob. I had incredible care this last go around and my toe is getting better. All the best to you.

Thanks for your kind comment regarding my Reminder. Yes, my toe is better, but I will be doing in-home antibiotic infusions for the next five weeks. I hope all is well with you and that you have a wonderful weekend.
All the best to you,
