It still amazes me how "at home" I ended up feeling during our 17 days in the hospital. You start to make friends and get to know the staff and memorize faces. I have many little stories about my interaction with people and employees during that time but two of them stand out. Towards the … Continue reading 17 Days… Chapter 9
