The surgery took almost twice as long as we had anticipated, but he is now on the road to recovery.
Watching the nursing staff run all afternoon reminded me of my hospital nursing days. Patient overload, on-the-spot decision making, questions from patients and families, requests from colleague for assistance...I do not miss it.
But this is also time to offer praise and appreciation for all of the hospital's unsung heroes. Nurses, cleaning staff, physio therapists, occupational therapists, ward clerks...each play a vital role in the health and recovery of the many who need medical care. Often your deeds go unnoticed and under appreciated.
From the depths of my heart...thank you.
