So the "Make Someone's Day" Challenge for the week is underway for me and I've already completed it for today!
How so?
Ironically it happened at my place of work. We had a patient that was in serious amounts of distress and pain; you can see it the person's face that they were just plain miserable. Unable to talk clearly, barely moving, and such.
Their doctor ordered a few x-rays on the patient and since they were too unstable to move, we had to move the patient. So just by looking at the patient straight in the eyes telling what was going to happen, the patient was able to get some comfort. Ironically, the comfort was coming from me even though I was the one moving them around and such.
Basically, I kept talking to the patient just to give them some sort of comfort during their whole ideal. And that even made the patient crack a smile during the process. The procedure took awhile to complete but our team managed to complete the task.
So that was my good deed for this Monday...at least one of them. :)
Hope your Monday went well wherever you are...ttyl.
