Changes

Changed up the look of the blog a little bit.

Dad is now prominently featured. It seems appropriate for the time. This is for him, to him, about him... he should be featured.

I've had patients at work over the last few days and several times I was told by visiting family, "Well, you don't know what it's like to have to sit by and watch a parent suffering." Most people were taken quite aback when I had to inform them that, unfortunately, I did know exactly what it's like to have to sit by and watch your loved one in pain. I'm better at my job now. I do understand what it's like, and that makes me more compassionate and better able to get through to these people.

I still wish it was a lesson I didn't have to learn for 30 more years, but that's life.

I've got my first A&P exam on Monday so this weekend will be devoted to studying, although I may take a break Saturday night and have a little bit of fun. We'll see how things go tomorrow.
