Merry Christmas!

I'll be working today in our convenient care. I volunteered, and it was my turn to work a holiday. It was not busy last year, and they are not anticipating it being busy today. Doesn't matter. We are there to help take care of people.

I don't feel like I have cancer. I feel like one of my dear patients. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer a long time ago, had a mastectomy. Lived to die of a stroke. She always told me she felt guilty telling people that she had breast cancer, because she never suffered. I'm hoping that I will live to say the same thing.

About working on Christmas. Being a nurse, you know you are going to have to work holidays. I always looked at it that somebody has to be there. And at least we are better off than the folks who have to seek our services. Most folks are very grateful that we have made the sacrifice to be in the hospital to help take care of them. Occassionally, you get a sourpuss. But you got to love them anyway.

So, Merry Christmas!
