Yesterday was quite the interesting day as I was at the hospital for quite a lengthy time. My surgery is now scheduled for 9am Tuesday morning. I need to register at 7am and I then sit around waiting in there until I go in. I am supposed to fast and stop taking vitamins three days…
I arrived at the hospital this morning in registration and saw a bunch of people that I know. One of them tried to cut in front of me with a larger number, but they say back down and patiently waited. We got to the part about preferred accommodations and she mentioned that if I did…

When I chat with Mel and my friends they are disheartened that something like this can happen to me. Mel articulated it saying that we try and do good, give back and be helpful. I am ok with this happening to me as opposed to someone else that I know. I have a strong network…
