quick post today, because i've been running around like a monkey trying to shuttle between work, home, hospital, and later, maryland. It's mostly traffic and sweating and cursing. I always forget how common it is for people to be afraid of hospitals. Not that I blame them, it's just strange to me because I've spent enough time in them that I really don't think about it anymore. MY whole family has been weathered in this, and we know to bring something to read, to smile and offer encouragement not only to the person you're there to see, but everyone you encounter. It's such a hard place to stay positive, but it really does make a difference, even to the staff who do this every day. I don't know. I'm not really saying much here, just thinking aloud. I don't have any music because I spent way too long just driving that I've got to catch up on a lot of stuff. I'll try to post a picture or two this weekend.
