It's a great day to be "Gladys Friday" because we are ALL glad it's Friday today.
She's really LOST HER TOP this time! My boss, Denise Price Thomas had a dream and she isn't just putting legs to her dream, she's putting WHEELS on her dream. For Breast Cancer Awareness, she dreamed that she and her friends drove TOPLESS through downtown Belmont, NC (her home). Drove topless convertibles, that is. So, with that the "Topless Cruise in Belmont" was born. The event will take place November 2, 2013 at 2 pm.
Save the date ~ Save the tatas!
ALL proceeds will go to Cancer Services of Gaston County to assist patients in need. Locals Helping Locals to help provide the proper nutrition, medications, dressings, equipment and more.
Seeing the positive actions through "Gladys" eyes or "Denise's" eyes.....is truly a heartwarming experience. It's all about "Neighbors in deed helping neighbors in need"

New hire physical
Hello friends ~
I am excited to report that it has been a very busy summer! "Gladys" has thought of you all very often...she just hasn't had a chance to sit down and blog a spell.
She wanted to share another true story about a very dear friend who was going to work for a new company. He was very excited and a bit nervous too. The physician was completing his new hire physical and turned around to look over the chart. "Let's see" the doctor said, "it looks as though we have checked everything.....oh, I need to check your adenoids" When the doctor turned back around, facing the patient, he was startled when he found himself facing pants on the ground and a bare behind. Yep, you guessed it! My friend thought the doctor said, "......oh, I need to check for hemorrhoids!"
I see you're smiling now ~ keep it up and enjoy your weekend!
September was exceptionally productive for Denise Price Thomas & "Gladys Friday" including:

Wet to Dry Dressing
The Friday Funny from "Gladys Friday"
We all know about that wonderful wet to dry dressing.....now if we could only get around to that wet to dry weather!
It has rained so long that I have forgotten what it's like to "wet my plants" :)
One thing about this summer so far.....it's only rained once. It just hasn't stopped! The good news.....we have no drought....YAY!
Speaking of wet to dry.....my friend had two little boys. One was napping in his crib and the 2 year old was ready to play. He climbed up into the crib and got the sleeping baby out. When my friend (the Mommy) realized the baby was missing from his crib, she of course turned to the 2 year old, frantically asking the question: "Where is the baby!?!" The toddler said, "in the dryer Mommy, the baby was WET!" FORTUNATELY the toddler could not reach the controls (whew!)

New Chaperone
I have been a chaperone many times in my life....standing in more times than I can remember while a patient was being examined, chaperoning youth events, chaperoning my kids beach trips, field trips, movies and much more. My granddaughter was planning to get together with some of her friends and I was honored when she said, "Nana, will you Strapalong?" (insert my puzzled / twisted face here) and I asked what I would need to be doing as a "Strapalong" and she explained, "Nothing really, just be there to watch over us and help us out if we need you." I had this vision of me being strapped to her....which is not a bad idea for those sweet little teen years. Of course I was honored to be a "Strapalong" ~ anything, anytime for those grands!
Enjoy your weekend!

"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.
Just to name a few of those exciting events for Denise or Gladys:
Also, Denise was invited again to write for MedMonthly Magazine, a national medical magazine. It is certainly an honor to be featured in this magazine! Check it out: Desired Qualities When Staffing Positions At Your Practice
