My Heritage

One of my newest hobbies and fascinations has become collecting and restoring old family photographs. I'm not sure exactly what I will do with my collection, but I have loved finding and studying them. I have such a beautiful family! These are some of the people that I have loved most in this world - and yet there is so much of their lives that I have not known! I did not even recognize my own family is some of these pictures! It is amazing how a simple photograph, from years ago, can make you feel so much closer to someone you already love so much.

Another Patient Story...

As she is waking up from surgery, my patient looks up at me and says...

"Oh, honey - you don't get out in the sun much, do you? Oh, but, it's OK - I sell Mary Kay!"

Seriously?!?!

What, you are in pain?!?! Tough.
