But, it's also worth extending props for communicating in ways that prevent misunderstandings and conflict. We've an example going on now where an ounce of timely communication, like this, would have avoided a peck of problems. I'm not intending to dump on anyone else, not knowing the true circumstances. But it is usually possilbe to take a few minutes to compose a brief note like this.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY! THE PROCEDURE WE HAD DONE WAS A LEFT HIP SUBLUXATION CHIARI OSTEOTOMY.
SURGERY BEGAN AT 8:AM. IT WAS A ROUGH MORNING AS THE IV WAS GIVING US A HARD TIME. MY SON IS 14yrs OLD AND I CAN COUNT ON BOTH HANDS HOW MANY TIMES HE HAS CRIED. TODAY WAS ONE OF THEM. (which lead to my tears).
AS THE NURSES TOOK HIM AWAY, ALL I COULD DO WAS HANG ON TO THE SUPPORT AND LOVE THAT EVERYONE ON HERE HAS SHOWN ME.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I HAVE FAMILY AND AN OLDER DAUGHTER THAT OFFER AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SUPPORT, BUT IT WAS THE LOVE AND SUPPORT OF MY "FRIENDS" AND PEOPLE THAT I HAVE YET TO MEET THAT CARRIED ME THROUGH THIS. THE OUTPOUR OF SUPPORT HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING AND A BLANKET OF COMFORT.
WHEN THE SURGEON CAME OUT TO TELL ME ALL WENT WELL (only 3 hours later) I WAS FILLED WITH JOY.
HE EVEN GAVE ME THE SCREWS FROM THE PREVIOUS SURGERY THAT WENT BAD AS A SUVENIER.
REVIEW: (I got "screwed" by my sons surgeon). FEE: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ DESCRIPTION: MASKED MAN RECOMMEND: HELL NO!
MY SON IS DOING WELL. VIRTUALLY PAIN FREE AND RESTING PEACEFULLY. (now maybe I can get some much needed rest). We should be able to go home in a few days.
I can't thank you guy's and gals enough. I love you all and can't wait to get back to work to give as many hugs as possble. (topless that is).
