I'm always interested in what nurses have to say; I have chronic medical issues at 35 & feel as though it has been the nurses that have taken the best care of me. I have never come across a rude or mean nurse ever, & even if I had, I would still treat them w/ the utmost respect. <br /><br />Thank you for doing what you do. :)<br /><br />I have a blog here on blogspot as well, but haven't posted anything in awhile, so I won't add my blog address...yet!<br /><br />I bookmarked you & plan to follow you. Off to bed now, but I can't wait to read around tomorrow.

(along with brave, sweet Tashi and Wash, too, to whom we all were fortuitously introduced, i.e., through your blog). <br /><br />In the past year since your oral surgery, your just being WHO YOU ARE----(i.e., earthy; optimistic, yet ever-realistic; and kindly sharing your joys, plus your warts-worries-and-all on your blog)----has genuinely been *A Welcome Respite* for me, i.e., given those within my own Immediate Family who, (unfortunately and sadly), haven't been able to be............ NEARLY as realistic, honest, or as kind as you've been. <br /><br />In the face of loneliness and/or suffering, I always simply wish that I could----DO more----SAY more----and/or SEND more. Sometimes when I don't know what to send, though, I just send *love*, which............ (on this Special Thursday, October 20th, 2011)............ is what both Jack and I are sendin' to wonderful, one-of-a-kind you, Jo.Rosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290435002631069643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-87220381828432588372011-10-19T21:40:46.310-07:002011-10-19T21:40:46.310-07:00Thank you for writing.
