Virginia was not good today. I left Michael again and went over to her place at about 11:00 am. She was in a lot of pain and was in bed, having brought up her early morning medication and coffee. She had called Hospice and the nurse arrived about midday. After an intensive assessment she called the Doc who ordered morphine for the pain, which she was given. Back to bed, while I did some banking for her, took a time out at Starbucks, and ordered her new Disabled Person Parking Placard, which had been lost or stolen from her car.
I made her some soup for an early supper and left with the assurance that "I will be back" in the morning.
I have to tell you this, because I am totally impressed with Chase Bank. She is the process of switching from Bank Of America to Chase Bank because it is much closer to where she lives. The person she has been dealing with at Chase Bank is called Dee, she is the wife of our agent in Escondido, Justin. We were not able to finish the transfer of bill payments as I do not know V's password, so Dee is coming to V's home tomorrow to finish the transfer on V's computer. That to me is absolutely amazing!!
After that we are going to see V's Dr in Vista. He is a fantastic physician and Virginia loves him to bits. I don't know if it is professional to say his name, but it is Dr Kaveh Farhoomand. He makes each patient feel as if they are his only patient. A bit quirky, but has a wonderful sense of humor. I think his motto is "Laughter is the best Medicine".
So we live each day as it comes, and be joyful for whatever that day may bring. Sorry no photos today.
aww I sure hope V feels better really soon...and how nice of you to help her out!
ReplyDeleteI will say that Chase Bank is going above anything I would ever expect them to do. This is so good to know. Hope the meds help her with the pain. You are such a caring person to help her so much. Thanks for being such a wonderful person!
ReplyDeleteMy family owes so much to Virginia that I can do nothing else. One day I will write the full story of Virginia and her role in our family. Virginia is the wonderful person, not me. What I am doing for her now, is only what she deserves. She is a remarkable woman.
ReplyDeleteI will be saying prayers for Virginia and hope she feels better soon. I'm glad you are there to be with her.
ReplyDeleteWhat nice people you are! Many times friends move on when problems come. Not you. You've stuck around to see her through.
ReplyDeletemy prayers go out to Virginia, what a wonderful blessing to have a caring person as yourself to be there for her.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are so right about living each day and being joyful for whatever it brings. We never know when it's our last or even our loved ones.
My heart goes out to you, I know how hard this must be on you. God Bless You.

ReplyDeleteJust joined up with you, so we have to catch up with you and learn about your travels, See you have an ailing relative or friend( Virginia) I hope she does better if that is possible. Like your rig, I drove a 30 passenger bus a couple times with that exact chassis, a big duramax engine, I was really impressed, took it from St Louis to Chesapeake Va. It was a pleasure to drive just like it;s MCI big brothers.Be safe out there, Sam & Donna....
