Ken, (aka "The Impatient") on his way to Health


Sylvia with Ken (aka "The Impatient")

As Ken (aka "The Impatient") has been recovering from his recent knee replacement surgery, it has taken a village to take care of him.  Between friends cooking dinner, emails and phone calls cheering him up, visiting nurses, physical therapists, lots of ice and copious amounts of pain meds, he really does seem to be getting better!  Though he wasn't the most docile or reasonable patient on her first visit, one of his favorite new friends is Sylvia Neicutescu, a registered nurse who is part of the Swedish Visiting Nurse Service

 Sylvia has been coming to our home twice a week to do blood tests, help him change his bandages, etc.  She has been most patient in dealing with the "Impatient" and has totally won him over.  Though I know I would never look forward to having my blood drawn, Ken actually looks forward to her visits.  And ZiZi, our little Yorkshire terrier puppy greets Sylvia as a long-lost friend at each visit.

Thank you to Sylvia and everyone else who has participated in Ken's return to health!
