More caregiver reunions...

I hope everyone had a safe and restful Memorial Day. One thing I miss living in this part of Oregon that the east coast always had are parades for every holiday. I believe we have two parades, one for the start of the rodeos (I think) and the Veterans Day parade.

Bob and I saw two nurses today that took care of him while he was in Rosehaven Medical Center. I loved seeing their faces of surprise when they recognized him. When Bob was in Rosehaven, he was just learning to eat, and he still had his trach in. To see him walking brought complete joy to their faces. And, of course, Bob got all teary-eyed at their reactions.

One thing that upsets Bob when we see people that were his caregivers is that he doesn't remember any of them, so all he can do is thank them. It is a sincere thanks, but not as sincere as it would be if he knew who and what they did for him.

Have you order your "My Personal Medical Information Book"?
