This photo of Alan's was actually the background of a photo taken of his aunt.
But he choose to crop to the action in the background.
I took 'In the background for my theme.'
This photo was taken around 1925.
The sister is a nurse from St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington Kentucky visiting the home of a patient recently released from the hospital.
Follow-up was and still is an important part of hospital care, whether it be a phone call or a home visit.
The potato bag at the window shows the ingenuity of folks to use what they had to get along in the world.
I see a hat, probably on a nail.
Maybe a bucket and dipper for water.
A roasting pan for cooking and a lamp on the table.
I spent 25 years of my nursing practice as a home health nurse with the sisters and these scenes are still common today.
St. Joseph Hospital was founded in 1877 by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth
(of whom you hear me speak a lot.)
and still stands today as one of the premier hospitals of this state.
This photo taken from
"Impelled by the Love of Christ."
