We're Liking the New Place

Wednesday is Relief Society day at the nursing home, so Ashley went to help introduce Sheila to the new Relief Society President. To get there by 10:00 Ashley had to leave the house at 9:00. Because the bus was running behind, Ashley only made it for the last part of the lesson.

Holly and I walked to the old place (WCC) to pick up some of Sheila’s missing clothes and then caught a ride to Mt. Ogden HRC with Sister Skeen who was going to see her brother.
We all made it just time to have lunch with Sheila. At $2 a meal it would cost us more to bring frozen dinners. And to top it off – they are very good meals. They even come with vegetables at this place.

After lunch my little sister, Michelle, stopped by to see if she could take us to any stores. We went to Sam’s Club where we purchased two folding chairs for Sheila’s room and a few other things that we needed. While we were there we ran into Jenna, a former CNA from Wasatch, who we became very good friends with. We gave her one of the business cards we made for Sheila so that she could follow the blog. Sheila really misses some of her favorite aids from the “old” place. We hope some of them will stop by for a visit.

Later in the evening, Sondra picked us up and took us to the nursing home while she ran some errands. We got the rest of Sheila’s things put away and all of the pictures hung on the wall. It’s amazing what a few pictures and some personal items can add to a room. In this room Sheila can have her Utah Jazz poster and calendar closer to her bed.

Sheila is making new friends at the center every day. She now has her favorite male CNA, Tyler. Poor Tyler, he is now a marked man, but he will be the only person that Sheila thinks can do everything perfectly.
