Monday, I went to work expecting it be kinda busy, and drag a little. But it didn't end out that way one bit! When we first opened up, a sweet lady came in to get her prescription. And I asked for her ID because it was a controlled. And I saw that it was expired, and she showed me her new temporary license. As she was putting away her expired license she asked herself if she wanted to throw it away or not. She immediately said "No, this has a picture of my long hair!" And I looked at it and her hair in the picture was just past her chin not quite to her shoulders. And we just talked about hair and how fun it is to style long hair! And that she wants to grow it out so that she can do what her daughter does.
Now here is what made my day amazing! This sweet lady is 39, and has short hair like short, but she pulled it off! She was sharing that 6 months ago, she was 38 at the time, and she had a pretty bad stroke. Where She had to have brain Surgery. Her hair was shaved off. The Doctors thought she wasn't going to make it, and if she were to wake up at all she would in bed the rest of her life in a vegetative state. But, that wasn't what happened. With how young she is she's been able to heal from the stroke very well so far. When she woke up, she had no idea what happened. She remembered having the stroke, with a bad Headache, but didn't remember what happened after that. And left her wondering. I felt a portion of being the person hearing about/and witness a loved one have a stroke. I was 15 when my Grandpa Bourne had his stroke, and we were all worried. I have a cousin that had a stroke at 28 or 30. Scary, I heard about it from my Dad. My dad said that he has never heard his sister sound so frantic in a such a situation. It was freaky to hear about it!
Now, Get this, she was going on about the experience, she started talking about how much that experience has changed her perspective in Life. And that Life is too short to take it for granted! She mentioned something personal that I'll keep silent. But I felt so happy for her for and felt really touched that she shared that! She told me that she thanked me for letting her talk! And that she needed it and it helped her!
Most of her sight in her left eye is back! And she's been able to drive now for 3 months! Keep going my friend! I hope more amazing things happen in your life! You've touched me more than you know! :D
