I was really impressed by how many local Schick graduates came to the meeting. A few folks who were far away attended the meeting via a speaker phone, it is great that even grads who are distant from Seattle can still participate.
It was a pretty simple meeting, we introduced ourselves and us patients explained briefly why we were here and how we found Shick Shadle. Those who have been through the program gave encouragement for how well the treatment worked for them.
It was inspiring to me on two levels. First it was great to hear how well Schick's unique system worked for them, but I was also impressed by how many came to the meeting. Somehow I didn't know the Schick Support group met each week, but now I am excited to attend from time to time in the future.
The last of the patients who were here on Christmas finished their ten days today and went home. I'm happy for them but I missed them this evening, I had so much fun getting to know them. There's a lot of new patients following in behind me, and it is cool to get to know them and help them get acquainted with how things work here. I'm happy that I'm able to help ease anxiety and be a friend.
Only four days left!
