This thread came about
after I was re admitted to the hospital with a perforation and bleeding in my big ole belly that nearly got me to the OR twice in a week. I think for some strange reason people here started to miss me. That has always has made me sniffle a bit. A grown man crying over meeting new bests friends here that care about
him or her any time day or night. What a country!Seems I wasn't showing up as regular as I used at first and they need an answer as to why I was away so long. I never go away long. I always check it when needed. /there was way too much goofy things going on. Way too many long nights in the hospital (JAIL HOUSE) room. Some of my replies never made it past my mind, that too was in question some nights. I finally made it home and after being up there today I wouldn't have minded to stayed a few more days now, and I think some of the nurses wouldn't mind either. It is a funny relationship we have with nurse and patient techs. Just A+++ people all of them. I have never had as good of treatment anywhere as they did there. After a couple weeks you start to feel like family. I wish I had gotten their last names so I could write a personal email or card straight to that person. I know Steph said she will put us in her Christmas card list. I certainly hope she does. I really enjoyed seeing the look on their faces when we showed up. Some not sure if I was who they thought I was or the ones who couldn't believe I would show back up there with a thank you card and
cookies. I just don't know how to give them a gift that is even close to the gift they gave to me and Michelle. I can't speak the words. I can only let my eyes say it for me and I hope it is enough. I have never been it this situation before and am not sure what should be done. I did send an email to someone in the office that said they would all get it. I hope it worked out like I wanted it too.
Strange, I didn't want to just drop off the
cookies and run away. I thought I would do just that for some reason. Instead we hung out for about
30 to 40 minutes and had a couple emotional moments with a couple of the nurses that took care of me and Michelle the most. Even after over 2 weeks It was like I never left. They asked if I wanted a gown and a new room.We should have stayed around a couple more hours to see Abby and Stephanie. They were our first true Angels there. They made sure Michelle could have a spot to sleep even all they had hat night was 2 chairs put together. So, My eyes are a bit blurry and damp typing this, good memories from a bad situation. I am sure we will find a reason the take a road trip to Chicago sometime soon. Not sure what for? But I will think of something. I know, a late visit for Portillos supper on 7th floor.
This wasn't supposed to be near this long, but I just kept letting it rip. I am not sure why but I am enjoying my self.
Take Care All.
