Hiver

This week totally sucks. A pattern of train-wreck cases, which until today, I more or less avoided. Told this case would probably not be ours, so I should have known. Doomed, indeed. A lovely, ugly, five hour case. Thankfully, my good karma taking care of other cow-orkers going through long, complex cases flowed back through plenty of help to get started, for which I am very grateful. Then, one nurse stayed late to get us cleaned up at the end. I work hard to get as much cleared away as possible before last case is done, but the accumulations were a bit much. Help was a gift of great worth.

What is more, the surgeon thanked me, gave me a nice, side-hug at the end. Which I don't take too seriously, but I'll accept any thanks that come my way.

That I got this nightmare case is really only fair. Wouldn't complain even if there was someone to listen.

Happy Solstice, Good Yule, Bon Hiver.

I'm sure you are still, under it all, a poet and artist.

It's refreshing that your goodwill and teamwork came back to you. And a surgeon who thanked you!

Happy holidays to you and yours.

mbick,
Second time in 2 1/2 years from this doc. What's more, it seems genuine. Maybe a Christmas Miracle.

I'd like to give you a matching hug from the other side in thanks and recognition of your courage, eloquence and all round Zhoen-ness.

I wish you light and warmth at this time, and all good things for the year to come.
