Lovely girl in OOH waiting room , would you f/b message to say thanks

[bringmesmiles]

I’m quite poorly with a UTI tonight, have had almost constant infections since June. Waiting on surgery to diagnose and treat the issue causing them .

I was at local out of hours a few hours ago feeling bloody awful with anxiety, shivering with fever, very sore and woozy . Waiting on seeing GP in packed waiting room . Girl opposite kept smiling at me and went through to the nurses room . Came back with a glass of water and sat beside me, held my hand and explained she knew me/my mum professionally (told me her name etc) although I didn’t recognise her at all, she had met me before and knew I was struggling with mental health and a few things . She was so lovely and so kind , completely took me aback . I must have looked bloody dreadful

The nurses explained again how she knew me when got taken through, since getting home and being started on strong antibiotics and a dose of paracetomal I am 99% convinced I recognise who she is - not a common name - but if I do have the right person, she’s going through personal hell herself at the moment unfortunately .

I’m not sure if I should send a wee message to say thanks for her kindness, and to pass on condolences for her own circumstances , not sure if I’d be intruding a bit, and I’m also worried I might have the wrong lass (although unlikely as that is) .

Also aware this could be quite outing but not too worried about that !

No that would be intrusive.

No

I can see why you want to but I don't think you should. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I don't think that would be a good idea. Sorry.

You can thank her but I wouldn't bring up her personal stuff.

I think it would be lovely to message and thank her. Don't bring up anything else though. I always think it's a good rule to never talk to someone about something you didn't hear straight from them- wait for them to tell you. Noone likes to feel talked about. Hope you're feeling a bit better now @bringmesmiles

I think @Templetonstunafish has it spot on

Message her to say thanks but that’s it. She told you her name, after all, so I don’t think that would be intrusive.

She told you her name and gave you the link with your mum.

I would message to say thank you but not mention anything else.

She would know that I know if that makes sense, the problems she’s having have been on our local news . I was reading about her in news yesterday but oddly enough didn’t make the connection until after talking to her . I know you what you mean though re no one liking to be talked though .

I’ll mesahe to say thanks and leave it st that . Heads a lot clearer this morning thankfully !
