A Favorite Story About Attitude
 
Here is a story a friend sent to me a few years back. I don't know the author but I believe it could very well be the right story at the right time for all of us. Enjoy!
 
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three strands of hair on her head.
 
She said, "I think I'll braid my hair today."

So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two strands of hair on her head.
 
"H-M-M," she mused, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today."

So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one strand of hair on her head.
 
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."

So she did and she had a fun-filled day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
 
"YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

 So far I've come up empty. Sorry, I wish I could have been more helpful. I will bring it up when I get to my support group at Albany Med on Thursday. I had posted the request for info on my support group's facebook page but there are some that do not have internet access so I will check with them.

Hi..I believe Rochester..Dr.William O'Malley! He is located at Highland Hospital..that's all I know..maybe someone else will chime in who has had him.:) Good Luck!:)

P.S...I second Doc Peters in Scranton..he is very nice and to the point..he was going to be my surgeon last November but some financial difficulties happened and I couldn't do the self pay thing after that.
