Keith's Little Helper

Okay, so unless you haven't paid attention to the news in the last few weeks, here's a little update:

Keith Richards, guitarist for the Rolling Stones, fell out of a coconut tree. Now, we're not even going to explore what a 60-plus year old former drug addict is doing in a coconut tree in the first place, but the story doesn't really stop there.

After he was released from the hospital, Keith held a press conference where he thanked his nurses, calling them the angels who help the night pass more quickly and with less pain.
All I have to say is...Amen, Brother Stone! Until you've been there, there's just no way to adequately express gratitude to those wonderful nurses who take care of you when you can't take care of yourself. And, as this all came down during Natl. Nurses Week, it feels appropriate to comment...even if it does cause a chuckle or two at Keith's expense.

Ahh - it is nice to see positive comments about nurses - so often you hear the negative and we all know there are many many good ones out there that go above and beyond!
