New Patient

I know that some people will think... "where do you find the time" but GOD has blessed me with volunteering for Season's Hospice. I went a few month's ago and talked with Peggy the volunteer coordinator to see what it would take to volunteer. After visiting with her, going through training required by Medicare and OSHA and everything that is involved, drug screening, background check and criminal history, (Nothing was found) HAHA....

I received an email yesterday from Peggy, asking if I was interested in meeting a new patient named "A" (not sure that i should use her name) she is 101 in the last stages of Lung Cancer and is sharp as a tack. I am going today to see her. I am so excited,

I will just be sitting with her, listening to her and being her friend. I asked my coordinator if when I am with a patient if writing down what they are talking about would be acceptable so that when the patient passes, I can give to the family what history they may not know. she said that it was fine. I do know that sitting with Gramma Mac when back when she was passing away, and the stories that she told, I have kept in my heart, but I wish someone would have told me to write it down so that i could have shared the memories with someone going through something.

I am so excited, not because "A" is on hospice but that I can hopefully be a blessing to her and her family.
Please help me pray for "A" and her niece,

God Bless.

Too Long

OK, just a quick note to say I am still alive. I have been working and working and working,
I am still trying to attempt to finish my schooling, but it has been crazy. I have 6 classes i believe for my Associates and then i can apply for my nursing. I am giving myself 5 years I will then be 50.... YIKES

I am changing things in my life, I am going in and having the Lap Band surgery done, hopefully in the next couple of months, I go on the 17th of July and get the last little bit of directions and maybe a surgery date, I am doing this so that I will be healther. I am happy with who I am.. I am NOT doing it for anybody else, not for my neighbor nor any man.
this is me taken in Jan.
I will keep you all posted with pictures of before and after and all the in between.
