On Her Way Home

Doris is  in her 94th year and has travelled with us over the years. Her stays in Florida amazed our neighbours when they realized her age. They saw her walking daily by herself, swimming every day during the winter and generally being a lively person with a zest for life.

The years caught up to her this week and she had a fight with her body and heart and had to get some relief from the doctors at the regional hospitals. All the nurses and care workers admired her spunk and didn't make a sound when they prodded and pinched her flesh to see what was bothering her. Needles and iv's she took in stride and managed to comment about the good weather and the trees she could see through her window.

Well she is getting a special ride home on a Lear Jet called a medic-vac and along with Theresa they will be returning to Oakville in style. Doris needs some more help and with her return to home she will be with her extended family and accept the spoiling again which comes with being an exceptional Senior.

I was sad to see her hooked up to those tubes and wires because she always said she never wanted to be sick and need help. Well she does need help and I know with a little TLC and some good care she will be back to her rightful place walking the sidewalk on Falgarwood to meet and greet the neighbours who love her dearly.
