An unsheltered erson is asleep directly on the parking lot pavement of the boarded up Lucky Penny diner next door to Trader Joe's, Masonic, San Francisco. A wheelchair with some belongings, at the person's feet. It's 55Β°F this morning, Easter eve. Hopefully the bright is offering some warmth. π
It's the wheelchair-ed,
that especially get to me.

New book arrived on my way to work tonight: "Fifty years after its original publication, a commemorative edition with a new introduction and updated resources section of Dr. Elisabeth K bler-Ross's beloved, groundbreaking classic on the five stages of grief.One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. K bler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life, and transition. In this remarkable book, Dr. K bler-Ross first explored the now-famous five stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Through sample interviews and conversations, she gives readers a better understanding of how imminent death affects the patient, the professionals who serve that patient, and the patient's family, bringing hope to all who are involved. This edition includes an elegant, enlightening introduction by Dr. Ira Byock, a prominent palliative care physician and the author of Dying Well, as well as Congressional testimony given by Dr. K bler-Ross on death with dignity. This description may be from another edition of this product."
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee. JOHN DONNE

Came in the mail tonight on my way to work. Extraordinary Nurses Throughout History by Various Β©οΈ 2020 Brilliant Women This book celebrates the amazing efforts of eight notable nurses, collected in honour of Florence Nightingale's 200th birthday. Throughout history, many notable women have helped create and improve the practice of modern nursing that we are all familiar with today. Since the first documented mention of professional nurses in approximately 300 AD, their contributions at times when nursing was much less well established are invaluable when studying how nursing has evolved throughout the ages. This fascinating and insightful exposition of the lives and achievements of notable nurses will appeal to those with an interest in the history of nursing and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature.

Hey, if you're in the hospital, and of sound mind, and a healthcare professional tells you not to mess with something. That means leave it the fuck alone. Thanks.

I'm the plant nurse at my facility. 4 of the 5 orchids I care for are all re-blooming at the same time. This particular one I found abandoned downstairs on our outdoor patio. It looked weak, but salvageable. VoilΓ .
