Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Thank You, Dentist!

 The dentist's surgery can be a painful place to visit but it serves a vital function.
 
The last time I went I was sick from an abscessed tooth. I had been up all night, unable to sleep. I called the dentist and she got me an appointment straight away. When she saw how shaky, weak and pale I was from the pain and lack of sleep she, and her nurse, took me straight to the hospital Emergency Room. They picked me up again after I had been treated, took me back, and pulled my tooth!  
 
Now that was kindness they didn't have to show!
 
So, as a fun thank you, I went online and bought some Flash Cards for the dentist's surgery. These are cards you can hold up to dentist when you can't say anything because of the tools in your mouth! Like, for example, "Will my face ever go back to its original shape?" There were thirty funny cards plus one card with a Christian quote. I hope they bring some smiles!
 
I like to thank places that are painful or unpopular - but important!  
 
Well, I'm due to have another tooth pulled soon. Oh, my, that should be fun!
