Ode to the Human Pin Cushion
Feel better soon, Charity!
We made lots of quotes in the ER...
"This is how A students go to the ER!"
--Charity, when Jane preparedly whips out a fully packed lunchbox and we three eat together in the little room number 10
"I don't need a doctor; I already have lawyer! He can sue them if they screw up."
--Charity, jokingly considering how there is no point in checking out the ER docs to pass the time
One thing I realized yesterday is how "our guys" take such good care of us. Us ladies have supported and helped each other in different ways in desperate situations these past few years, but our boyfriends were impressive yesterday, calling and seeing how Charity was doing, offering rides, etc. (Char decided not to call her guy until he was done work so that he wouldn't be running around panicked in his New York office, unable to do anything to help.)
A big part of being independent is admitting trustworthy people into your life. Slightly ironic. Independence doesn't exclude interdependence or imply a loner lifestyle. |
