I can never say all the good
things about the staff at the High River Hospital Cancer Clinic. They are just
the most wonderful and caring staff it has been my pleasure to meet. Nancy is the
receptionist is the supreme coordinator who ensures that the patients get the
appointments straightened out, that they see their doctor when advisable, and
she will juggle dates to accommodate other appointments. You may say “well that’s
her job” but she goes above and beyond.
The nurses are also above and
beyond in their kindness and caring. They know their patients’ names, their
treatments, their foibles and that is so comforting. They are always ready to
lend an ear, enjoy a laugh and socialize even though they are busy. They make
you feel like a person rather than a patient and that goes many miles in just
making you feel good to attend the clinic. I am so grateful that High River has
this facility – and we don’t have to pay for parking!
It’s my disconnect day which is
always quick and easy; then we stop off at the bank to drop off eggs for my
customers there (again, I have the best bank!) and then I have to manipulate
John into taking me for a very long spree at the Dollarama – I need a few (!!)
things to keep my Christmas mood going. It’s amazing that however much
Christmas stuff you have there is always something new to be added to the
collection for the next year’s theme. Men just don’t get it but as he let me
have a good frolic the other day I am hopeful he will not be Mr. Grump today!
