Another complex issue. Generally, I think a healthy mind. At least when I've had surgeries, I've generally not been AS concerned about my body and more concerned with being the kind of person that doesn't place demands on those caring for us, but instead try to treat them with respect and caring. One time, for example (once the IV was removed), I did a walk without a nurse going with me at a very early hour when not many were up and around. I stopped by an elevator where the only one I saw was a housekeeping lady cleaning the door to the elevator. I commented how "housekeeping" kept the hospital so clean and fresh looking. Startled, she responded, "No one's ever said that to me before." I told here they should have … every day. When I checked out and she didn't know my name or room number, she was there to say goodbye. God bless her.

WMMTY … Making others happy or wanting others to "make you happy?"
