I thought of you today Kelly. I had to do my pre-admission testing for my surgery. While waiting to be called I could see they had 4 girls checking in patients. The one girl nearest to me sounded so sweet. An elderly gentleman (alone) was checking in and it appeared he was a bit of a character. She immediately went along with his joking and was so sweet and helpful and I could just imagine how much easier her attitude made it for him. Her soft sweet voice and easy laughter reminded made me think of you, which made me think of all the patients you check in everyday and how their day is made easier by having you check them in rather than a cranky, irritable person. It's funny how my opinion of the hospital went up because of her pleasant attitude, and it made me think of how my opinion of the hospital would have gone down if she had been cranky and irritable and short with this cute old man. It may seem you have a lowly position in the big hierarchy of the hospital, but you have the opportunity to put peoples' fears at ease and start their hospital stay off on the right foot, so you have a very important job.

Ok, ok, enough with that. Glad to hear things are moving along and hope everything goes well with the pain person.
