Speaking of retiring nurses......

[Guest guest]

When I was 5 years old, I started allergy shots. The nurse who gave

them to me was just out of nursing school and very pretty. " Miss Debbie. "

She called me her " little man " and was so nice. I had a VERY YOUNG

crush on her. I told her that I wanted to marry her when I grew up.

(Laugh) When she got engaged and married, I was very upset and cried

for several days. I didn't even want her to give me my shots anymore.

After 46 years I came back to that clinic for my first Xolair Shots

and guess who was there? Yep, Miss Debbie, but a great grandmother who

was retiring in a month. She had quit nursing 10 years earier

and worked in the business office. She heard my name called from the

front desk, remember it and came out to greet me.

Both of us were shocked to see how much we both had changed through

the years. I had changed from a hyperactive 40 pound boy to a 210

pound gray headed man. I am now down to 180 pounds but still have the

gray hair. HA!

I must say, it was wonderful seeing her again.
