Thanks to Oregon!

:) The Owl is back in flight once again!!! I know I know..I've been MIA recently. Whew..has it been a great couple of months! I somehow managed to catch a great respiratory flu in North Dakota, which I'm still fighting after 4 weeks. In Idaho I think I ended up with food poisoning which landed me in an Oregon hospital. Funny how these things work out however, because as some of you know, I believe that even bad days can be good days in disguise.
I never tire of learning about other peoples lives and jobs. What does everyone else go through on a daily basis? Gotta say..I'm impressed with those who give their lives to emergency room work. What a thankless job that can be, not to mention the pressure, the stress, even the mystery of trying to find something wrong with a complete stranger whose medical history is sketchy at best. :) In Oregon though, I found nurses and doctors who showed such wonderful kindess and patience for all they cared for. The sick can be extremely hostile. One older gentleman, who I felt bad for, was obviously feeling wretched and wasn't really cooperating...and yet all his care givers were still so understanding and did their best to satisfy his needs.
Thank you to all those receptionists, nurses, care givers, doctors, lab guys, and clean up crews that keep hospitals running!!! You are all AWESOME people. I know many times you are unappreciated and probably rarely thanked for all you put up with from us sickies :) but know that you do a wonderful service and the world is a better place because of all you do!
