A Busy Day Yesterday

We just finished our "spa and pampering time;" a wonderful image given to me that aptly describes our new morning ritual. Lots of fluffy towels, nice soap, and soothing creams!

Yesterday, our home was filled with lots of activity. Shelley's Occupational Therapist came twice to help adjust some of our new mechanical friends, a nurse from the V.O.N. paid her a visit, and then Monica Flynn - our beloved palliative nurse, came by. Each one cast their eyes and hearts over Shelley to see what they could do to make her life more comfortable.

Following discussions about a chair -lift, Shelley decided that she no longer had the energy it required to go outside, so she did not want one to be installed. The weather, let alone donning winter coats, scarfs, hats and boots, is enough to discourage anyone. She is just as pleased to remain within the comforts of her home.

Dear Shelley and Diane;

You have been close in my heart in these days. I have been mindful of the times our lives have intersected, and how, each time, I have come away stronger, richer, focussed, inspired.

Know that my love is with you.
