The Camera's Eye

Four hours at St. Vincent's Hospital was not totally unpleasant when greeted by objects of art such as this while waiting in radiology for some x-rays...part of the routine examination.  The personnel were all courteous, friendly, and professional, and I left feeling confident about their care. I went to the emergency room after several uncomfortable days with a ticker problem that was not extraordinarily worrisome but that created some anxious moments on my part. Nothing that I hadn't experienced before, but nonetheless scary when 1300 miles away from my regular physician.

The technicians were non-plussed and didn't bat an eye when I whipped out my camera and brought it along with me.  Told you that they were professional!

AND TO MARK THIS DAY...

An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind always be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face

and rains fall soft upon your fields

                                                           And until we meet again,

                                                                   May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
