My day started having coffee with a couple of older gentleman and we laughed and talked we talked politics hand shared war stories one of the gentleman had a quadruple bypass surgery just sharing some humorous events in the hospital nothing funny about this situation or having a stroke but funny situations that we were all laughing at after that I went to the hospital to check on my patience and yes I call them my patience i check with the nursing staff see what was going on and she so yeah we do have one new patient for sharing a room with one of my other patients so I went in to see the other 1 I've known for a couple weeks just touch base with her see how she's doing and she said some days are hard I said that's the way it goes sometimes some days are more difficult than others and some days yiu say is bad I can do this you just have to remember sometimes it is one day at a time then I met the new roomie we chat for a few minutes really nice upbeat positive attitude looking forward to seeing her again I went back to the nurses station to check on my buddy Tim and the nurse told me that he was discharged this morning.

I am happy for him because we all know how challenging even being in the hospital can be but I'm disappointed that I didbt kget a chance to say goodbye to him..

Be blessed and be a blessing and keep hope alive.
