I went to an appointment today with Annie up at Huntsman. She's the world's most compassionate and insightful social worker, she's really helped me in our short time together! As I was leaving, feeling better than when I came, I sat down on the chair in the lobby to dig through my belongings to find the darn valet ticket that I can't keep track of (I eventually found it). Up walks one of my good friends, Cindy, who was going through #stupidcancer when I was before! She and Axel volunteer with Intermountain Therapy Animals, a non-profit I worked for years ago, in the late 90's. I was their first Volunteer Coordinator! Anyway, our paths haven't crossed for a long time, so it was great to see her, and Axel! And, as it is Halloween today, they were both dressed up.
Axel is a remarkable dog. I've seen him at home when he wasn't working. He's not the type of dog to just sit and be calm. I was amazed at him. What a blessing he is to patients up there. They go every Tuesday for a few hours, and wander the infusion room, and hospital rooms looking for people that are in need of some doggie loving. He even has his own business card and FB page. So cool!
