Be grateful. Be thankful. Disability or not. I am thankful, as is my son, for the people in his life who saw/ see beyond the disability, beyond the wheelchair. Those people- their actions, their words- teach others, show others, CHANGE others...and our world becomes a better place because they are respectful, kind, and treat everyone as being deserving of dignity and consideration. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06352332380562232996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-3844350596751453332016-07-04T13:56:32.787-04:002016-07-04T13:56:32.787-04:00Feel better soon, Dave.

Freedom from fear, too.<br /><br />An actual note to the hospital - or forwarding them a copy of this column - would be good. They get SO many complaints.ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-16919876666958722832016-07-04T11:05:10.642-04:002016-07-04T11:05:10.642-04:00So glad that your care in the ER was just that - c...So glad that your care in the ER was just that - competent assessment of symptoms to arrive quickly at diagnosis and a plan for treatment, with respect for the patient and caring for a person who was ill and dependent on your team for help. Nothing more...and nothing less. <br />What's seldom, is wonderful. <br />Drink lots of fluids, rest as much as you can manage...feel better soon, Dave. <br />ClairesmumUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382503094929375543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-17528336445005681652016-07-04T08:16:00.047-04:002016-07-04T08:16:00.047-04:00Hope you' feel better quickly and so glad the ...Hope you' feel better quickly and so glad the hospital trip did not live down to expectations!painting with firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578014572547587329noreply@blogger.com
