I don’t have anything to report today, so I wanted to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to any of you readers who are nurses. You are an amazing bunch! I have been so impressed by the nursing care I have received here at the hospital. Every single nurse has treated me with respect, and most all of them have gone to considerable lengths to ensure my comfort, both physically and emotionally. They’re the people I see the most throughout the day, and I am so thankful that it’s always a pleasure, not an annoyance, to see them. They enter my room with joyful smiles, gentle touches, and sincere inquiries about my family. Their attitudes lift my attitude. It would be much easier to become bored and frustrated if the nurses were poor companions. But as it is, I wish I could take them home with me! Or at least, meet them for coffee! They give me book and movie recommendations, keep me updated on the weather, share their parenting stories, and simply keep me feeling engaged with the outside world. These nurses do far more than their jobs require of them, and I wish I could somehow return the favor. So please, go hug a nurse and tell her or him thank you for me!
