What a relief for you…usually the food is dreadful. You’re blessed with such wonderful care givers and facilities…your Canada is way ahead of the game in my view.
Good staff, good, caring staff is such a gift for the patient, and for the family!

Oh dear Jean, you needed to know and now you do. You must be exhausted, but every step you take is the right one on a road that no one wants to be on and yet we all will be in some variation or other. Big hug to you!

Be careful Jean. You are just the sort of visitor the staff loves and they will start looking forward to your visits so they can get a break:)

It sounds like a nice facility for Wayne.

So nice to hear the food is good. In the nursing home where my M-I-L stayed, they had food “stations” along the corridors for the speedy wanderers. While they were pacing, they could grab hand-held nutritious food as they went on their way. One patient “Mr. Jones” always smiled and waved to us as he made his circles. Once my husband asked, “Mr. Jones, with all this walking you must be exhausted.” Mr. Jones replied, “OH, I am…I am,” as he made another tour with his walker.

I agree with Laura (as well as the rest). You can be a great help to them, Jean, and yourself too.

I just read the last 4 posts to catch up. It must be very difficult for you both to adjust. My prayers are with you. What a blessing you are to others even while you are in the middle of it yourself. I admire your strength and kindness.

Hugs,
SMB

You found a jewel today. God will use you mightily there. I remember one of the last days I was sitting in the diagnostic side of the mammography floor. I realized everyone there was on that side because they were one step closer to a dreaded diagnosis of cancer. Nothing routine for them. I had forgotten. It had become routine for me. Something as simple as a smile or a few kind words spoke volumes of comfort to the distressed one. I was so sorry I hadn’t realized sooner that I had an additional purpose beyond my circumstances. You are that Light to others, Jean. Not that it’s the plight you’d choose, but while you’re there, you make the most of it. In the same way, the blog ministers to others in your boat. So glad you reminded me of my own purpose today. Love you, Annette

I think I’ll steal Mid-Life Slices comment – I liked what she said. You really are an angel, Jean.

You are going to be used greatly in the place where Wayne is living. I am glad they have such good food and that he is in such a good place. Prayers and hugs…Mary Lou
