@debbraw -- my wife brought home the mail yesterday and gave me 2 cards from Mayo Clinic. It made me extremely thankful for the care provided by the Mayo Clinic staff and everyone I interacted with for my knee surgery. Funny story -- arriving a little after 6 am for my 6:30 check-in at the Eisenberg Building reception desk I stopped because I forgot which way to turn from the Graham parking ramp when I reached the building hallway. A Mayo volunteer worker saw the look on my face and asked can I help you? Then he smiled more and said "you don't remember me do you?". He was one of my customers Tim M. who was the director/manager of one of the manufacturing businesses I helped with setting up a new website 5 or 6 years ago. He had since retired and looked really good - infectious smile. Once he looked at me and asked me my mind drew a blank for a name...hate it when that happens but I digress.

The cards from Mayo Clinic care teams were pretty awesome to get. I did leave a small stack of Connect cards with the nurse who brought me that surgery gown that I hope I never have to put on again ☺ so that she could hopefully give them to other patients and staff.

@johnbishop - I wish there was a WOW button on this thing. What a great story. Thanks for sharing.

@johnbishop
How nice is that? I'm impressed!

@johnbishop I didn't know you had recent knee surgery and it's amazing you did all that and were still here on Connect for everyone else. I hope you are recovering well. Kudos , John. God bless.
