The Normal Christmas Present Is Not For Me
Friday, November 14th, 2008I’ve never been one to ask for a normal gift under my led christmas tree Every year around Christmas time I start wishing for something special that no one else has. Believe it or not, every year Santa comes to my house and gives me exactly what I want, whom until now I believe exists.
For an instance, one year for Christmas I wished that Santa would make two men fall for me by the end of January. The smirk was beautifully carved on my face, because I was thinking Santa made it happened. And for the following year, so for a second year I thought I would make a big wish, I wished with all my heart that I would meet the man of my dreams when I took my trip to Germany. And then three days before the next Christmas day, when I went to Germany on the train, I was sitting beside a man who I talked to for the entire ride. Six months later I married that man and he is now my Husband of many years. Now that is a great gift no one gets under their led xmas tree.
I figure after so many years of great presents that Santa has delivered to me I would ask for something for someone else. this year I’d like to use my Christmas wish for one of my patients who has a bad case of diabetes. She is scheduled to have an amputation on the 28th of December, after she acquired a diabetic foot . She is the mother of three children and a Russian immigrant; her youngest daughter is only three and her oldest in nine. She lives alone since her mother died of a heart attack six months ago. Her life will be a lot different if she has the operation, since I don’t even know how she will make money if she can’t continue to work at the grocery store if she ha no foot.
If I can decide what I really wanted this Christmas season, I would ask that I do a good job on the operating table, and let me give her the bet advice I can, and let her follow it. A less realistic wish is that people in powerful positions like government would care more about disadvantaged groups.
