Help Wanted

Tina sent me some adventures of her day today so I thought that was a nudge to do another post.  

Tina was able to get out for a drive.  They went to Picton and if you do this trip right it should include a ferry.  I guess they did it right!

There isn't much better than a drive on a nice day unless of course you can lay out on your deck.

My last entry was only on Wednesday but in the life of Tina so many things can happen in a few days.  So let's catch up.

On Thursday, the Occupational Therapist called while we were doing our video chat. She will put in a request to get the foot rest fixed.  It's good that it can be taken care of...should we get mom some driving lessons for the wheelchair?

The OT also said that she would be stopping in some time next week to get the quote signed for the chair lift to go on the stairs.  

Judy (cousin), arrived in the morning full of cheer and looking spiffy.  Tina said that they had the greatest day.  They went for a drive, picked up subway and had a picnic.  Tina wasn't even tired.  Next time Judy said that she would bring her convertible and she promised me that she would take pictures. 

Pastor Herb, Dianne and Jason came for a visit and brought a chicken...a cooked one.

On Friday, mom was back on duty.  She was buzzing around the house while we did our morning visit.  Tina said that dad was coming up for lunch.

The ramp was completed this week and it is a job well done.  Thanks John and team.

Carol asked the question, "Are the pails at the bottom to slow you down."  Tina did say that she actually walked up the ramp!!

Next week Tina's team will be:  

• Monday - respite
• Tuesday - Vicki
• Wednesday - mom
• Thursday - Jenn
• Friday - mom

Job Duties:

• provide snacks/meals upon request (food provided)
• outdoor walks if the weather is nice
• take part in Sister Three chats if you arrive before 10:15 a.m.
• walk her to the bathroom and be willing to assist as needed
• sometimes watch her sleep 
• be willing to be bossed around :)

Compensation:  a huge thank you!

If you are interested in volunteering a day or two weekly/monthly, please contact the boss....Tina!  Mom has been doing a lot and we would really appreciate any help.  They have a whiteboard to keep track of the comings and goings at the house.

Thank you to Judy, Jenn, Thelma, Vicki and especially mom who has already helped.  I have heard that Tina isn't so bad of a boss and really isn't too bossy either.  Really!

Tina is STEELE Standing and we appreciate all those that are standing with her!  She continues to encourage us with her optimistic attitude.
