Hello all. I found myself caught in the dumps, and felt to transition out of the slump and the difficult month I decided to take a vacation with my wife to Hawaii. We are looking forward to enjoy the time away, and use the vacation as a stepping platform for a new beginning!  I feel that any patient hospitalized can benefit from a purposefully scheduled vacation after getting over a medical illness. I sometimes see patients very depressed after hospitalization. They may feel there is no progression with their health, especially after multiple hospitalization in the year. Use the vacation as a way to reset the body, reset the mind, reset the soul. Use this time to reflect on the past, and prepare for the future!
