Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Jeribelle, I just have been thinking and thought, if you don't find anyone from here to accompany for your hosp. trip, how about goint through the senior, and I am by no way assuming you are a Senior, but the centers alot of times have a volunteer list of people who are avail to asst. others for rides, appts, errands etc. I know this as I have worked in the healthfield all my life and had to help some of my clients, find resources for different things when I went into caring for persons in there homes. I hope this helps. Most volunteers are very friendly, also you may check with the hosp.you are going to and some of the volunteer seniors that work as the greeters, gifts shops etc. would I am be sure to sit with you just call a few days ahead and let them know your situation and you really need a companion to help keep your mind off your day. I really feel for you as I was freaked just waiting to go for colonoscopy. Again I have you in my thoughts and prayers that you will find a companion, and you get through with the least amt of damage found.. Do you have someone to come over and check on you once home.?? Take Care. What town do you live in. I have a ex sis-in-law I am still very close to who just moved to Fla last yr, I don;t know if you two are close I forget where she is, but can definitley check it out, if she were not working she would definitley do it, she is a sweetheart, but if you are close she may know someone to help as she works in graphic arts.

It means alot to hear from you, despite the distance preventing you physically being here. I hope your fibro fog and pain will lift and that you find tomorrow to be a glorious day! girlsaylor Hi all, > > Without going into a ton of detail, the spouse is in the middle of > changing jobs, and I need to reschedule a heart cath.
