A Visit with Emajeana Cambra at Autumn Village

I took some time today to take some books over to Emajeana Cambra who ia a patient at the Autumn Village Nursing Home on Oriol Drive off Lincoln Street in Worcester. Emajeana was a guidance counselor at the Worcester Adult Learning Center which is located in the Fanning Building on Chatham Street in Worcester. My job at the center ended in the summer of 2007 when I quit. Emajeana's job ended in Sepember 2008 when she had a stroke. She has been at Autumn Village since then. She is paralyzed on her left side but her right side is alright. Her mind is good. (I did get Emajeana's permission to write this.)Her spirits for someone who has gone through an ordeal like this seem quite good. She always was a tough lady!
Those who knew Emajeana may be interested to know about her son whose name is Pharoah. He has completed his courses and is now a CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT at 20 years old. Not only that, Pharoah works at Autumn Village, so he is close to his mother. That is a real plus for this lady. I tried to see Pharoah before I left, but he was busy in another part of the nursing home so that will have to wait for another time. Before I left I told Emajeana I would write this post and asked her if there was any messages she wanted to give to people. She said, "Just say don't hold grudges, and if you know people who are shut in to go visit them."
I will talk more about my association with Emajeana in future posts.
