One of our friends has been battling with cancer for over a year now and is just going through some chemotherapy treatments. I must say that she is looking good. She has accomplished in just a few six months what most Jenny Craig members take years to do with untold suffering.
Right now she is at home and spending most of her time sitting in a hospital bed watching television. Now that can’t be good, with today’s selection of programs. We had just cleared out our VCR selection, which we no longer use, and were ready to take them all to the Goodwill. I thought “Man, I have some really cool “Mr. Bean” videos which just might be of some benefit to her”. Laughter surely is the best medicine.
Between talking to her and selecting out the best videos which would provide the best belly laughs, I thought “Why not include more people in this little venture”? I contacted the Helping Hands volunteer group in our retirement development and found that there are indeed other shut-in’s who might benefit from such a service. With a little bit of planning and research we now have a Video Rx arm of the Helping Hands volunteer group.
