A Request

A great big “thank you”  goes out to all of you who have inquired, posted comments, emailed, or offered us food!

Instead of more food, something that Angelique and I would like for you to do for us is to make a donation to Hospice Brazos Valley. They have been wonderful. Until now I really had no idea what a “hospice” was. What I had pictured in my imagination was a woman in scrubs coming by the house and taking someone pulse. Yes, they do visit regularly and record vital signs, but they are so much more than that. From the minute we signed on they were like family. And they have a great operation too. Whether we have a crisis at 3 o’clock in the morning, or need help with the body-donor program, the women of Hospice Brazos Valley are there to help.

In addition to a round-the-clock nursing staff, they have social workers, counselors, sitters, even a guy who comes around every so often and brings flowers. They furnish (and deliver) all the medical equipment we have needed. Oh yeah, and all the necessary pain medication. And, believe me, there have been plenty of pain meds. All at no cost to the patient. So instead of helping me hang on to this “girlish figure”, let’s help them out instead.

To help them out, click on the link above to go to their website, or drop a tax-deductable donation in the mail to:

editor’s note: I have heard that some of you watch this space for updates on Angelique’s condition. I’ll be posting one of those early this evening.
