So last week I had my second knee surgery in 4 months. This one was for my ACL. I am very appreciative that my husband, mom, kiddos, friends, and my staff have been so very very helpful. They have brought me ice packs and meals; become my taxi drivers; helped me get dressed (FYI- only family on the dressing assist). I do NOT like asking for help, and I do NOT like this feeling of dependence. Right now, I am dependent on the schedules, availability, and willingness of others. I am thankful for them, but it has made me mindful of the seniors we serve. Remember to truly see the heart of those we serve and those we work with. See the vibrancy, independence, and resourcefulness in others. See their strengths and skills instead of their frailty and impairments. This will be all of us one day, should we be so lucky to have those golden years.
Last week we hosted our annual Sponsor Picnic. We planned for almost 100 to attend, but fear the heat scared many away. We appreciate all those that took the time to join us for a more casual opportunity to connect. VIEW PHOTOS on facebook.
Our next Sponsor event is Breakfast on September 7th, so save the date (details below). We also coordinated the CEU poster presentations for the Case Management Summer Mixer- Thank you Oregon Medical Case Management Group for asking and including our team to help.
