Happy Days

Happy Days are here again. haha. I went to bed last night @ 9pm and didn't wake up once until 6 this morning. I feel so good. These are the days I remember so well. These are the reasons I suck it up on the bad days. I forgot to tell a cute story from Yesterday. I had one of my cutest patients come in yesterday. His name is Merrill Fisher. He had a stroke and has alot of memory, speech and movement issues. He and his wife are one of the nicest couples I have ever met. So anyway, I was telling them a story about Cancer Support Groups. I told them I wouldn't go to one but I would "Run" one. Well I was pretty much serious but Merrill cracked up laughing. He couldn't stop. His wife said he hadn't laughed that hard since he had the stroke. All he could say was "Yes you would run it". Then I started laughing too. Even the patients know I am a control freak. The point to that story is making other people happy even at my expense is worth everything to me. Linda (his wife) said I probably touch so many peoples lives and they use me an example to their friends and family. That has to make a person feel good right?!. If I have to battle this ugly Monster at least I know I am touching people along the way. Gone are the days when I was going to just suffer in silence. I am not looking for Sympathy by any means by telling my story ( unless of course the sympathy involves Chocolate ) I have just found something I can do to make a "huge" difference in this World and I am running with it.
