Orgers, make everyday count....

Sometimes one does not realize how fortunate he/she may be until reality slaps them with a cold slap to the face. Today was one of my toughest most conflicting days as a coach/educator I have ever had. My morning started out groggy as i only got about 4 hours sleep from the reported events earlier in the night and when I got to my 1st period I saw all my 8th graders full of life, so young and naive, but full of vitality. I told them before they were dismissed to the promotion ceremony about what happened last night and told each one of them they were special and that they should tell someone today that they love them and make someone smile, do a good deed, whatever. Then afterwards I made sure before the ceremony started to tell all my co workers friends and enemies alike that I appreciate the impact they have made in my life. I then took a group of about 5 of my close coworkers to lunch and told them they rock. Then it was time for me to take a nap and go to a somber yet joyous high school graduation. Its hard to hear the sound of weeping contrasted by screams of joy and lets you know how precious life is. I just want all of you to know you are all more special then you realize. Make someone happy today. Make your day count. Live life like you will not wake up tommorow. May you all be blessed! Psalm 23. Take care.

Today I had a patient who was very emotional. I get this alot. Many women would rather have bamboo slivers rammed under their fingernails than get their mammo.

Anyway, in the course of my getting her history, she mentioned that her husband was dying of cancer. Sad...I gave her my condolences. A couple of minutes later, she was just holding back tears. I asked her if she needed a minute and she said, "Well, no, it would take more than a minute. My mother died of cancer 3 months ago. My brother died of cancer right after her. Now my husband. We are losing our home. We have no source of income."

Really, what could I say?? I again, gave her my condolences. Told her it was very understandable to feel overwhelmed and that if she needed to stop at anytime just say so.

She smiled at "overwhelmed". She said..."What an appropriate word."

In the end, we got the exam completed and she hugged me on the way out.

I went back to the tech room and said, "I just had a patient who put everything in perspective." Told all the ladies I work with that I'm love them and I'm so happy that they and those they love are happy and healthy and that my life is so blessed to be with them and to have the love and health of my family.
