One fellow even raised my uncooperative shorts that perversely enjoyed being stuck at half- mast after I had almost finished my routine in the men’s room.</P><P>I greatly appreciated Chris, a nurse at 720 Puahi Queens Medical Center. He anticipated my needs, whether it was making the bed, finding late-night snacks, or getting the doctor to sign a couple of prescriptions. Whenever he heard about how soon I’d go home, he told me my status. I could always count on Chris to handle me confidently, gently, and graciously.&nbsp; He is a true mensch, as we say in Yiddish. Give him the highest honors at your facility.</P> Thu, 03 Apr 2025 23:49:49 GMT schlomo 2025-04-03T23:49:49Z https://community.aarp.org/t5/Healthy-Living/Strangers-to-My-Rescue/m-p/2605287#M8664 <P><STRONG>Courteous Strangers Assist me during my Rehabilitation</STRONG></P><P>This past week, a stranger kindly lifted me when I was having trouble maneuvering out of a low-seated chair at a restaurant; many people helped me when I tried to keep open a door to enter and exit a restroom.
