"The Ants Come Marching Home"

Memorial Day is such a somber occasion, a time to reflect and remember those who have given their lives for our freedom.  

Family and friends will gather, continuing to celebrate that freedom as they join in the festivities planned around a much needed three day weekend.  

As I was grocery shopping for the weekend, I received a call from my home and what I heard my cousin say was:  "The ants are back and they are already all over your kitchen!"  

I responded:  "There's ant killer underneath the sink, spray them quickly or they will be taking over the entire house, we sure don't need that with company coming!"  

There was silence....a long pause......followed by: "OK, but what shall I do about our Uncles who are with them?"  

Communication is VERY important, wouldn't you say?  Especially in healthcare.  We THINK someone understands exactly what we have said.....but it often takes on an entirely different meaning.  Just like the time when the patient didn't hear the part of removing the foil from the suppository!  "BLESS!"  

Always make sure your understanding is understood.  

Enjoy your weekend everyone......"I'm Gladys Friday" and I know you are too!

Upcoming Weekend Experiment

Happy Friday everyone!  

"Ms. Gladys" wants to let you in on a little experiment she will be working on this weekend.   With swimsuit weather just around the corner (we hope!) ~ "Gladys" has decided she needs to "shape up" a bit.  So......she has purchased LOTS of Shrink Wrap and will be wrapping it from her waist down.  She has also ordered CASES of "Stretch Genie Spray"(used for stretching shoes) and will be spraying that on her upper chest area.  If it works, she will invite you all over for her Oil of Ole` party!  "CHEERS!"  

PS ~ if you don't hear back from her.....she must have over-sprayed :)


"Gladys" is busy entertaining with humor and Denise with customer service training, inspiring and motivating physicians, healthcare professionals, being an Undercover Patient and following up with training as well as speaking for women's events.
