Thursday Thirteen

In honour of the wonderful people at the Heart Institute, who are ALL BEAMING as the Rebel continues to recover. Sitting up at the side of her bed less than 24 hours post surgery. Talking a blue streak, complaining about the chest pain, because the morphine infusion is pretty light. BUT she is gaining strength and moving. It's amazing! She continues to improve. Here's why she is where she is today

The 13 (with latitude) at the Heart Institute who believed, who make a difference. Hope I covered all the categories.

1. Doctors- surgeons, cardiac specialists, anesthetists, infectious disease specialists,
2. Nurses- intensive care, charge nurses, nursing coordinators and the ones who watch The Hills with our girl.
3. Perfusionists
4. Respirologists/Lab technicians
5. Physiotherapists
6. Social worker
7. Psychiatrists/psychologists
8. Dietitians ( in spite of the food)
9. Radiologists
10. Porters/Orderlies
11. Cleaning staff
12. Ward clerks
13. Volunteers

So many to make one heart beat.

They are all angels and sometimes ones that are often taken for granted. This has really opened up my eyes to the unseen hero's, BTW, I signed my donor card yesterday....

no one would want this old broken heart, but there may be other bits and pieces that would work.

Bless them all who continue to help others!!
