Working late at the office tonight. How's everybody doing?

[Aristus]

Clinic was pretty smooth today, but oh man! My last patient was a new guy establishing care. I don't know when I've seen a more forlorn or bedraggled person. The only word that occurred to me was 'wretched'. An old-fashioned word not used much anymore, but it sure applied to him. Made me want to cry almost.

I addressed his medical concern, and we'll be able to get him the treatment he needs. He seemed satisfied with that; but for the whole visit, he looked at if he had never had a friend in the world. Some people just have 'sad' faces, I guess, but his was one of the saddest.

Hold me...

1. I'm doing well, my dear Aristus...

You know, I'm really glad you're doing the work you are. It is so important.

Here's a hug for you, sweetie...

[Aristus]

3. Thanks, CalPeg...

You're the greatest...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Aw...anything for my good friend...

[GiveMeFreedom]

4. Hi CaliforniaPeggy,

Nice to see you . Peace.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Nice to see you too, my dear GiveMeFreedom...

[GiveMeFreedom]

2. OK

Peace.

7. Good. Thanks for askin'! My feet are still throbbing from wearing tight heels last WEEK...

for several days. I had gotten out of the habit, usually wearing comfortable Clarks brands, but bought some new heels. They have cushioned inserts and the heels aren't very high, but even so...ouch! So today I went back to the low heeled Clarks...ahhhhhhh. But I still feel the pain of the heels from days ago.

I feel quite the fool for caving in to "oh, how cute!"

[Aristus]

8. Try flats.

I can't be the only guy in the world who thinks flat shoes are sexy. I love those princess-style flats, ballet flats, you name it; they are just as attractive as heels, and much better for your feet.

9. Really? I had no idea. I'll give them a look. I think they're cute...they remind me

of Laura Petrie in the Dick Van Dyke show. Remember how she'd wear those slim legged ankle pants with ballet type flat shoes?

Hope you get to go home soon.

[Aristus]

10. Oh yeah! MTM looked incredibly hot in the flats and Capris!

So there you go: a very compelling example to emulate...

[nomorenomore08]

11. Wow. I don't know if I could handle that sort of thing day after day.

Everyone else is right, you do do very important, difficult work.

12. Obviously, I am doing better than you lately Aristus!
