Shut the Door!!!!

I know I initially raved about the awesome nurses here, but my last few have bugged me.   I mean, Mac and I are the most low-maintenance patients  they have in this ward so it's not like we're demanding or have high expectations.  And I do realize that it's probably  not for good reasons  that the last few nurses have irked me  - it's the little things that annoy me.  Like don't tell me you'll be here at 9:00 for my monitor session and don't show up until 9:40.  And it's not cool not to answer when I call you... twice.  And for goodness sake, shut my door when you leave!  After all, I'm not allowed to get out of bed to do it myself so why leave it open for the world to see my bedhead???  Not only that, but I don't want to hear all the sounds from the hallway - like kids visiting their mommies, or other moms and their pregnancy complications, or the hospital gossip amongst staff.  Why is it so hard for today's nurse to shut the dang door?!

Now I could get irritable and throw a fuss, but my day was brightened by the generosity of friends, family, and work team.  Surprises like flowers, gift baskets, gas cards, phone calls, and emails really made my day.  I cannot tell you how much it means to know that so many people are thinking of us and praying for us.  Your support and generosity have brought me to tears, and I can't thank you all enough.  Cyber hugs to all!
