Blessed be the angels! During my wife’s C-care, the facility had a delightful, empathic (and former patient) woman whose title was “Breast Cancer Concierge.” One entire wing of the building was dedicated to such care.

Her doctor there was a warm, kind human being who always greeted Beth with a hug. He always gave his undivided attention, and gave no indication of being rushed. His nurse was warm, kind, and the Queen of “git-er-done.”

Angels one and all. So despite Beth and I facing a very challenging time in our lives together, the quality of care was palpable and helped scale down our worries.

I’m so relieved to read your remarks today on your care to date. Whitman was so observant. That one might feel helpless over their own ability to address their situation, yet feel incredible help and support from the caregivers.

Please reassure the Muses that “all shall be well, and that all manner of things shall be well.”

Oh! I came across another Julian of Norwich quote in the last week… I don’t even know where to look for it right now.🤷‍♀️ My brain overfloweth!

Thank you for your comment!

In “good news”… I’ve been reassured that about 90 of BC in the US is caught early enough to be treated and cured. 👍🏻 It’s the climb ahead.

I was wondering if Gretchen might possibly have an email address? A physical address?

Most angels don’t know they are until someone reminds them. I’m a someone…

I brings my heart great joy to know typist has friends she can share her thoughts with.

Many more than just the 3… Although using “just” in a sentence to describe what the muses afford typist is like saying a rainbow just isn’t colorful enough…

We are grateful for all of you and are always looking for different ways to transform gratitude from a noun to a verb.

I have a beautiful gratitude post card with Gretchen’s name on it… 😊

When typist sees the surgeon today, she won’t be alone!

💛🤗💛

I told Gretchen that I am a writer and that I’d be publishing pieces about my experiences. I asked her if I can use her name and she had to pause… Yes, was the reply with an understanding that I will not call attention to her medical facility… We want to avoid any HIPPA oversteps.

That said… here is a creative solution to your generous offer. Can you send it to me and I’ll get it to her?

I did thank her wholeheartedly for what she does. She shared a personal story that led her to the position of service she embraces. She said it is her pleasure.

Nia is a Godsend. She’s adopted the phrase, “Let’s go get ‘em tiger!” Apparently it’s the year of the tiger?

Not only do I have lots of people with me in spirit, my husband will be there to hold my hand. ♥️

Thanks Bobby!

Having kind people around can make all the difference. Like Gary Spangler I too like the remark on Whitman. It is quite a rollercoaster.

🤔 After my first rollercoaster ride… the Wizard at Six Flags Great America … I never rode another! At least not the amusement park variety.

An Oxford comma walks into a bar. It orders a sandwich, fries, and a beer. 😊

(I can keep doing this as long as you like. I hope to a smile, a chuckle, and an increased awareness of grammar terms.😉)
