I Won’t Forget
by Jason Ferguson
I won’t forget…
The pain, discomfort and uneasiness of not knowing what was wrong for months
You explaining the process and how it would affect me and expectations
The tears, frustration, and pain during treatment upon returning home
How you pushed me to continue and providing encouragement
The uneasiness of approaching that dreadful machine daily
The comforting and professionalism of all of you
Drinking copious amounts of water
You being patient and tolerant when I did not drink enough of that wonderful water
All the care that you provided
This experience or ANY OF YOU. THANK YOU
