I made it!

Easter Sunday I completed my 29 Days of Giving. I also saw my last clinical patient since I was completing my last attending duties at the Hospital. After caring for patients for over 25 years it was ironic that it would end on Easter. I guess I am now reborn to a new life. It has been the hardest thing of my life to say goodbye to patients and staff that I have worked with for years. I learned from the 29 Days of Giving that no matter what loss I was experiencing that I was given so much more over the years. There can be no greater gift than to care for people that need assistance. The ability to impart knowledge and to provide care is the greatest gift that one can have. It validates one's exsistence and makes every day special. I have had no greater privilege than to participate in the care on individuals who by no fault of their own are facing a challenging medical condition.
I hope that I may continue to provide a valid service in my new position to the MS population. I thank those who worked with me for sharing my passion in trying to provide the best care available to our patients. I have been the beneficiary of so many unspoken gifts over the years that I am inspired to continue the Days of Giving.
