I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but I sure wish we would have transferred to Sutter 10 years ago, I'm loving it that much! You're well aware of my anxiety over scans by now, but by the time I left yesterday I was telling the nurses if they needed me to turn around and do it again, I wouldn't have had a problem at all, it went that smoothly. I don't even think I'll need Valium next time, which is saying a lot. The difference between Kaiser and Sutter were a few things that made all the difference in the world to me. First, at Kaiser they turn out the lights, don't say a word the entire time, and wrap you so tightly that you feel very constricted. It takes everything in me to calm myself down and control my thoughts long enough to just get through it. At Sutter, they let my friend Roberta come sit in the room and chat with me, they had a beautiful lit mural on the ceiling to look at, they wrapped me loosely, and the technician was so wonderful, she made me feel totally at ease. What a totally different experience for me, it was great. Now I no longer need to get all worked up over scans, they're no big deal :) And thank you again Roberta for being there with me, I really appreciate it, you're wonderful.
Now on to today's event...Jordan is graduating from Jr. High School this afternoon! She was ranked #1 in her school and has achieved all of the goals set before her. She is such an outstanding young lady, we're so proud of what she has become. And to think that this is just the beginning of her path on the journey she will take. Jordan, my wish for you is that you find peace and harmony in whatever life brings your way. I already know that you're headed towards a very bright future, but I want you to be happy and enjoy yourself along the way. As they say, don't forget to stop and smell the roses. Have a great life, you deserve it! I love you with all my heart.
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie

I KNEW you would be happy with Sutter!
ReplyDeleteI have to make a choice to stay with Kaiser or switch to Sutter. I recently was diagnosed with cancer. I would have to switch soon after treatment is started and I am not sure this is a good idea. Would like some opinions. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, I would DEFINITELY switch to Sutter as soon as possible, seriously. I think it would be a good move before you get too settled in, and being that I've now been with Sutter for over a month, I think it's the best care I've ever had. I wish I would have transferred about ten years ago. I'm not sure who you are by your user name, but I would be willing to help you in any way possible. I'm sorry for your diagnosis, but stay strong. Keep the faith. Genie
