Ann's message this morning: I have had the nasogastric tube in for a day. For some reason it seems to sit better in the left side of my nose than the right. While it was out, there were a series of tests, measurements, etc. out of concern for what the tube would restrict. Our team of doctors are very competent and efficient. My one critical comment is that they talk to each other but not to me! Yesterday I was anemic and had low sodium levels, Apparently, cancer will bleed even if not provoked. It also stops bleeding too! I usually write the post of the day in the dawn. It is a beautiful time of day, and I find it very positive for me, even if it is raining or snowing, but always when it is glowing and anticipating a good day to follow. Enjoy this Palm Sunday. Thanks for supporting and following with us. -- Ann, Jack, Janet and David
From Ann this afternoon: Dear friends and relatives, Some of you have noted last week's air of depression; perhaps it is time to share something of how it really is in hospital in NB. I can call for help. The call is answered with, "I will send you someone." Over an hour later, the nurse passes by.. She hears the sound of a machine, etc. in distress. The first comment is, "No one told me." And you can tell from her response to this machine that this is the truth. A second situation is of my own personal experiences. The high fibre feed has disturbed my bowels. One night I managed to make it out of bed. No one responded to my call. Eventually someone came, but it was all down my legs and all over the floor by then. We have individual toilet needs. I am assigned a commode. No one set it up for me. Repeat these things many times a week. There may be 2 or 3 staff to your floor;...
Blessed release into the Lord's presence. Praying for Jack and family. When is the funeral? Nancy
