After 81 years of perfect health, my diagnosis of rectal cancer was shocking. Radiation, chemo, surgery, and 20 days in the hospital filled the next 9 months of my life.
All this I coped with, but my anxiety about being discharged from the hospital and dealing with my surgical wounds and my ostomy was overwhelming. Until the Acclaim Care Coordinator visited me a few days before my hospital discharge. Her description of my home care support and her assurances of my being able to deal with the recovery gave me the courage to face the next step of my ordeal.
The following two months of daily visits from an Acclaim Health home care nurse, whose compassionate care, not only for my surgical wounds, but also for the encouragement and mental support provided, made my recovery less stressful than I would ever have imagined. Without exception, the nurses were highly professional and kind. I am so grateful that this wonderful service was available to me.
