Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Hospice (update1)

This afternoon Carolin moved to Agape Hospice at 1320 - 8th Ave NW in Calgary. (ph 282-6588) Visiting hours are "anytime" but if it is outside business hours you have to buzz at the front door. She is on the second floor (turn right off the elevator) in the "green forest room". There are lots of private places to make calls, read books, or just visit.

You should be aware that Carolin is generally uncommunicative and often not aware of her surroundings.

Update

Carolin has many friends who are helping with food, their time or good wishes. It is a tribute to the care they all take that Carolin has not caught any colds despite the high traffic. Everyone is careful.

We've got a special bed on the main floor that makes things a little easier. The wheel chair is necessary if going more than a few feet. Carolin is awake for 6 hours a day (+/-) and tired of taking pills. Nothing we can do about that.
