Nurses really are angels. This morn a new RN called – our regular nurse is swamped and wanted us to have the answers we needed being it’s a Friday.

What a dear the “new” nurse is, also. She taught me a lot in 10 minutes, made suggestions, set up schedules and when she didn’t have an answer, said she’d call back in 10 minutes – and she did.

Wish I could post their names and honor them publicly but instead I had to be content to email our provincial health care system and commend them.

So here’s to all the unsung angels – bless your hearts!

Yesterday it was 32 degrees. We spent part of our day just cruising around to different stores. On our way home we passed a barbershop – the light bulb came on. I wheeled into the little shop – it was empty! Luck.  Ran in and told him Wayne has Alzheimer’s and is pleasant but just talk to him, no questions – and talk he did!

Sweetest guy, about 40 years old (just a kid). Shampoo and cut, neck massage, head and shoulders vacuumed after wards! I think I’ll go there:)

He has designed an old fashioned shop and glad to hear he is busy. Guys can get a shave and be pampered. I was really surprised to see a young fellow about 14 arrive with his Mom. His hair looked “cop short” to me but his Mom’s was long and wild. Maybe she was coming for a trim:)

Just another angel in our lives.

(We used to book an appt. and see a lovely gal who cut hair in her home. It just is better to catch him spur of the moment on a good day)
