Thank you!
There are certainly bad days, but there are many where I can come home feeling good because I was able to help someone else feel better, even if only for a little while. I love listening to the stories from my older patients and many of them feel a bit better just having someone to talk to for a while. Taking care of kids takes it out of me mentally/emotionally but that is only natural...and I would be a happy person if I never had to deal with another drunk, overdose, shooting or stabbing but unfortunately we get stuck with the bad along with the good.
Coming home to take care of animal chores actually helps, animals don't ask for much and they return it twice over...except Dillon, and we already know he is a constant beggar!
