During my wife's unexpected stay in the Village Hospital, this past week, it has come to our attention how small and wonderful it is here in The Villages.
Betty my wife needed emergency treatment for a Kidney/Liver infection. The Villages Hospital was like staying at the Hyatt Regency and the staff was very caring and professional.
Without mentioning any names we, we wish to thank all the folks who prayed and sent flowers and wishes for her speedy recovery via emails, telephone calls and visits. You all are "top shelf":eclipsee_gold_cup:
This leads me to the story of how small our world is. During Betty's stay, I received a call from a TOTV member to take down and install a new ceiling fan. I fit this is between visits to the hospital one day and during conversation with the customer, I mentioned that my wife was in the hospital. She said "what floor?", I said "the 5th", she said "what room?", I said "594", she said "I'm a nurse and I'm assigned to that floor". I nearly fell off the ladder. As that evening approached, sure enough, there she was, and full of smiles and advice about Drs. etc. As the expression goes, "what a find" she was.
She was so delighted with her new fan that she ran up and down the ward, handing out my businees cards. How sweet is that?
I have left out names here in my thank you letter for fear of forgetting anyone. If you read this, you need to know we will never forget your kindness. Betty is home now (here in TV) and had a great day in the warmth and sunshine one just can't get in a hospital bed.
God Bless you all
