No Idea That I Could Make Such a Difference

OK, So if you have been following....I have been working a ton. If you are not following...go back, and catch up.

Anyway, I had decorated my blood draw cart with battery operated xmas lights, and a funky hat. I also have left xmas cards for the people I had to stick in the arm with a needle.

There was this woman...I drew her blood in the ER...Yesterday, my first cart decoration day...I happened to draw her again, but she was now in ICU. Her husband was there, he saw me pull up. With the Christmas light cart. She was in an isolation room. We are never told why the patients are in isolation. It could be that they could give something to me, OR that I could give something to them. BUT ya kinda really know what the case is. 

Since I had drawn her in the ER two days prior, I knew she was not a harm to me. Even so, I have to leave my cart outside the room...totally "suit" up with gown, mask, gloves...even before I enter the room .

Her hubby said, "YOU GOTTA SEE THIS" (my cart). I explained I could not bring it in. I did however, give here one of my "Peanuts" Christmas cards. She laughed. Just at the time I was leaving her room, she had another procedure being done. Her hubby was on the way to the waiting room.  I PROMISED him that I would sneak in later so she could see my cart.

Some 4 hours later, I did just that. Blinking lights, silly hat,  and all. We chatted for a while.

Today, I ran into the husband in the hallway. He told me how much I had brightened his wife's day. He asked, "Could I give you a hug". I said, "Of course!"

Am I boasting?, maybe?...probably. I maybe selfish myself in how it make me feel good to help another...even if it is only to smile when they are sick.

So anonymous. I can't see where sharing stories of happiness is a bad thing.

Oh anonymous, I talk with, and help my "alkies" every day. Just as they help me.

Another good light cart story to follow, just not tonight...I am a bit too tired.

Thank you all,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
