As I was on my way to the hospital this afternoon, I got a call from the RUH Palliative Care Coordinator. She informed me there was a room available at the SMU. After I arrived at Judy's room, we met with the coordinator and worked out the logistics of moving Judy. Seeing the staff from the surgery ward offer their heartfelt good wishes to Judy was heartwarming. They are an amazing group of human beings. I am not just saying this because they read this blog. Judy and I will forever have all of them in our hearts.
We traveled by ambulance to St. Pauls and arrived around 8:00 pm. One of the ambulance drivers was from The Center of the Universe a.k.a. Kelvington. No wonder he was bright, congenial, and in possession of a great sense of humor. We were introduced to the staff in the SMU, then David and I spent some time helping Judy settle in to her new quarters. From Judy's room, she can see her childhood home at 1116 Avenue K. The room has comfortable chairs and a flat screen TV. When David and I left, Judy was getting ready to count sheep. Sweet dreams, Sweet Judy Two Shoes.
