“Extra
Miles”
(for Ruth
Lewis and
Penny and
other nurses
and Aides
at UF)
cji
7/19/18
Nurses
and aides known
for
giving aid as needed
when
recognized on the spot
thus my
tech nurse Ruth did so
with
Penny at her side
without
waiting for others
seeing
the problem quick
saying to
me, ‘Going to hurt
stay with
me no pulse’
a clot
forming at wound sight
needing
to be massaged
while
also keeping pressure
nurse in
room hearing
said
quickly, ‘he’s MSG
he’ll do
what you tell him’
and what
seemed longer
six seven
minutes pressure
massage –
till a pulse felt
softness
in the whole area
she
stayed the course
and her
‘going to hurt’
but an
understatement
going the
extra miles
helping
to extend life
now a
friend for life
strangers
but partners!
