Including the picture!
First of...I LOVE this post! Including the picture!<br /><br />First off..you're so sweet to care about your patient that way. Sounds like you have a good rapport with each other and not only is it heartwarming.. but beneficial for both of you in terms of care..good communication, trust, respect, etc. It sounds like he's been through some tough times physically.. but he has a GREAT attitude!<br /><br />Co-op idea cool. :) I wish we still had one around here. I'd volunteer again. There was a food co-op and the mgr would only bring in pure products. herbs, cheese, breads, beverages..all kinds of things and you did volunteer time in the store for a good discount. <br /><br />Better than a health food store! That is when I learned health food stores have a lot of things that aren't so healthy and you have to know your ingredients.<br /><br />Anyway.. I know the smoke isn't good... but is it any healthier than being laced with chemicals and do they use filters? I love ingenuity..or is it practicality? Both!<br /><br />I loved going out to see most of my Lifeline clients. A lot were shut ins. If I could.. I'd stay and have a cup of tea and chat or let them show me things, etc. My coordinator encouraged it but it depended on how busy we both were. I always looked for something to comment on that I thought they might enjoy talking about..and did they. :)<br /><br />My very last call before I stopped working... this sweet little Italian man brought me out to his garden, dug up some Greek oregano and wrapped it up for me to take home. He said it had the best flavor of all the oreganoes but was hard to get. He proudly told me how he made this Italian dish with the oregano, mozzarella and fresh garden tomatoes for his doctor and that his dr liked it so much.. he called him and asked him if he could make it for a party he was going to. Then he proudly told me that the dr said everyone really liked it and was all eaten up. This little old man was beaming. :)<br /><br />I believe you doctors... the good ones.. mean a lot to your patients and they appreciate you very much. And it's nice to know that we patients can make you smile too. :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.com
