What is the best compliment you’ve received?.#Dailywritingprompt.

I have received so many compliments in my life .Some of them are so touchy.I had a patient ,a very tall man about 6feet 2 inches .He weighed 135lbs, came into the hospital with a distended stomach.His diagnosis was cirrhosis of the liver .I took care of him every single day that I worked.

He asked me are you going to be here tomorrow .I said no because I have worked five days straight and I am very tired.He said you are the best .Nobody treat me the way you do.You are like a mother or a sister and I like you a lot.I said thank you.He cried and told other nurses to plead to me to work the next day.

They told me but I told him that I am exhausted .I came to work two days later I went to check on him .And was told that he requested for the doctor to transfer him back to skilled nursing facility where he came from.

I was shocked to hear that because his abdomen was largely distended he looked very sick.He was a good man except that he was an alcoholic.Frequent laboratory test were done on him everyday to check his ammomia level and his liver function test.

I remember this as if it was yesterday.I attended a Nigeria convention in Los Angeles,California.I was fully dressed standing in line with other guess.I looked at other women and I felt inferior that my dress is not good enough.

Suddenly I felt uncomfortable like the ground will open up and swallow me.While I was still thinking if I should leave the line and drive back home a beautiful elegant white lady approach me and said you look stunning and so gorgeous.

Do you know that you are very beautiful?.I looked around to see if she is talking to someone behind me.She said yes you ,I am talking to you.I love the way you matched up everything.

I was extremely happy and regained my confidence immediately.It was one of the happiest day of my life.I thanked her so much.The function started two hours later.Nigeria functions do not start on time.Their 6pm is 8pm,8pm is 10pm.If you are patient enough you will love their food,music and everything.
