Yesterday was my second "birthday" since I received my new stem cells so last week I went back to the Foothills Hospital to visit with my previous doctors and nurses. It was so great to see these people. The biggest impact was chatting with my doctor. He smiled and said "just so you know, those cranes are still in patients rooms". They get passed from one patient to another.
I got hugs from a lot of people and they were so happy to have a patient return. I couldn't thank them enough for everything that they did for me and my family. I will probably always be known as the "crane patient" and that makes me smile.
So to all of you that made cranes and sent them to me, please know that act of kindness is still rippling down to other patients at the Foothills and still bringing light to patients who go through some very dark times. It really proves that an act of kindness is similar to throwing a pebble into a pond. The ripples can reach far and wide even if you don't see them.
I will be posting another blog with my numbers but wanted to send this out first.
