Strangers to My Rescue

[schlomo]

Courteous Strangers Assist me during my Rehabilitation

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. 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.

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.  He is a true mensch, as we say in Yiddish. Give him the highest honors at your facility.
