I am writing to say a belated "thank you" for those of you who assisted with my care in November, and there were many of you. I was treated for pneumonia under the care of Doctor. From the nursing staff to the phlebotomists, the physiotherapists who pounded on my ribcage (I had never experienced that before), the women who cleaned and made the bed, the food service staff, respiratory therapists, I could write a list that goes on and on. I know I am forgetting some, but you have a wonderful group of professional people and I was lucky to wind up in your care. Ok, there were mornings at 0200 or 0500 when I was not so happy to see you, to be awakened for yet another blood pressure check, but I get it. You were doing your job to keep me alive. Your professionalism and hard work were appreciated. I post a "before and after" photo, below, to help remind you of who I was. I have not forgotten any of you.
