I was just reminded of something.

A few weeks before my scheduled surgery were very chaotic, getting all the approvals, signed releases, forms, etc all lined up.

Waiting for this Dr. To fax that Dr, who's off till Monday, etc, etc.

I recall, the Thursday before my Monday scheduled surgery, driving down the interstate, yelling in my cell phone "what do you mean my cardiac clearance is no good! It was ok last week!"

In other words I was a stressed out S.O.B.! But the surgery did go as scheduled.

Now to my point.....2 days after surgery I had a huge giftbox sent to the office, filled fruit, breads, Cookies, brownies, etc. etc, just to show them I'm really not a S.O.B.

I got phone calls from each individual person there thanking me.

Even now, over a year later, they have not forgotten and I still feel the love every time I show up.

Very nice! In my surgoen's offcie, they would think I was moking htem if I sent that box. Almost, all the woman there, and the surgeon, have had lapband surgery done. I would have to think of some other gift box to send! Very nic eof you to send them that nice gift, tho' Karen

I got a thank you card from the hospital.. nurses. I have said my thanks,, and still paying... :wub:

..what a thoughtful ,generous thing to do. i reckon they will remember you with fondness. its really sweet of you.

I did something similar...My surgical coordinator n I build a very friendly relationship with all the emails we had to send eachother over paperwork. On Monday when I went in for my post-op I gave the receptionist a thank you card with a Starbucks card in it to give the coordinator for me. I also sent the doctor n staff a thank you card n had an order of edible arrangements delivered to them. The coordinator reached out to me n couldn't have been more happy and appreciative. It made me feel so positive to do that for them as they have already done so much for me.

U're very welcome!

I always do this. It certainly goes a long way. The world needs more appreciation if you ask me. Good job to everyone who is showing their appreciation.
