I'm sure most of your pts are homebound and you are definitely their excitement for the day! :)

Rusty, I really enjoyed reading your day regarding Home Health & about your motor-cycle. It brought back great memories of my grand-mother.

When my grand-mother broke her hip, she had this wonderful & very kind home health nurse. He drove an old pick-up & often brought his dog with him. Anyways, my grand-mother had a huge 240 acre farm with a nice pond on it. Prime hunting & fishing. Well, she really looked forward to his visits. She would make him a roast beef sandwich & a glass of ice tea. They would talk base-ball (she loved base-ball), while his dog played outside with her dogs. She told him he could fish or hunt on her property anytime he wanted. Well, soon she no longer needed his services, but he was still welcome to fish/hunt. Whenever he came down to fish, he would still check on her & ask how she was doing. He really made her day!

Rusty,

I am new to the boards and your thread is the first that I have read. I am looking to get into home care now after coming from 12 years at the bedside and 4 years in an office.

I love the day's information that you provided. It is so nice to be appreciated and fulfilled. Thank you for sharing with those of us who miss it.

Hey, Rusty!! Good for you and good for your patients!! With 14 years of rural home health care experience under my belt, there is no way I would go back to the 'walls and windows'. It's like Dylan said: "If dogs run free why not me?"

Peace,

Lois Jean
