Didn’t mean to derail, just wanted to show that nurses care quite a bit for the patients they care for.

Striper, so sorry for your loss. I literally walked in those same shoes.
NOTE TO ALL: Colon cancer, if caught early, is 100% curable. If caught after it goes thru the wall of the colon it's very hard to cure. My mom had it when she was 48, they caught it early and lived to 93. My point is ...go to the docs, get checked regularly. Not getting checked can be a lot worse than the test.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
