who my father was in keeping it postive

When my father was in the hospital dealing with cancer and the radiation, his sister was going to come visit - they lived in different cities. He asked the nurses to give him whatever meds he was supposed to get timed so that he would be at his best when his sister arrived. He put up with pain and discomfort till the time was right for the meds to kick in when she was there - not in pain, not too groggy - just right for her visit. He was THAT considerate.
