I wanted to share, a little, of a recent experience that did my heart good.
Following a recent surgery, I developed an important complication. I chose to ignore the complication, for a variety of reasons, of which none, I now realize, were particularly good.
At the time of my surgery, there was a very kind nurse assisting. She knew a little of my background and even offered to hold my hand during the surgery.
For the last week, she has called me at home, at work and persisted even when I didn't return her calls. I think that she instinctively knew that I would try to 'run for the hills'.
Because of this kind woman's persistence, sensitivity, and her willingness to really understand my issues, I have now dealt with the complication.
I wanted to share this recent experience because I thought it was important. What may have seemed to her like a small gesture effectively changed my mind frame enough to allow me to deal with an important health issue.
