michellep Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I will be taking on yet another part time job starting Monday. I will be assisting in home cancer patients via the IHSS. I'll be taking care of IV infusions via ports and bed turning etc. I'm really looking forward to the ability to "give back" due to all my husband endured. Wish me luck? My patient is an 81 yr old with stage IV lung cancer. Her name is Adell and she is just adorable Wish me luck and I hope that somehow by "giving back" the lord will bless me with the ability to join my husband when my "time comes" as well. I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joppette Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi Michelle, Good for you giving back. I had to go back and read your journey, and what a journey it was. I'm so sad you had to go through what you did. And it does my heart good to read how you came through this ordeal, and still want to "give back". God bless you.

Ry Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 How great for both of you. She is very fortunate to have you as a caregiver. I am glad you found a path forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michellep Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks everyone! She is in the hospital right now with a slight heart attack. Hope she is home in the next couple of days. She is such a kind woman and so very easy to please. Going over to visit her today but until she comes home I have some projects myself to work on. Weather permitting of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
