VERPLEEGSUSTER Nelie Kellerman, wat die afgelope ses jaar die Florence Nightingale van kankerpasi\u00ebnte op Cradock en omgewing was, l\u00ea aan die einde van hierdie maand die tuig as kankersorgsuster neer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie jare stap aan en ek het besef dat ek moet afskaal. Ek gaan egter nie net op my louere rus nie, maar sal steeds soggens voortgaan met die weeg van babas, hulle immunisering en algemene evaluasie en nogsteeds wonde behandel en inspuitings gee,\u201d het sy verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nelie, wat op Cradock skoolgegaan het, het n\u00e1 skool opleiding as verpleegster by die Frere-hospitaal in Oos-London voltooi voordat sy as ontvangsdame by \u2019n plaaslike dokter kom werk het. Daarna het sy by die Cradock Laboratorium en bloedbank begin werk waar sy opleiding in die neem van EKGs en bloed-verenigbare toetse, ondergaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat sy gewerk het in \u2019n spreekkamer van twee spesialiste van Uitenhage, wat Cradock maandeliks besoek het, het sy ook in \u2019n privaat hospitaal op die dorp gewerk voordat sy in 1999 besluit het om haar privaat praktyk vir tuisverplegingsdienste by haar huis te begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2012 het Nelie in diens van Cradock Kan-kersorg getree en was sy betrokke by die pyn, lyding en hoop van al die dorp se inwoners wat met die \u201cGroot K\u201d geworstel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMet kankerpasi\u00ebnte raak jy baie betrokke by die mense en alhoewel jou opleiding baie keer bewys dat daar eintlik geen hoop is nie, moet jy hulle bemoedig en aanmoedig en die hele hartseerpad saam met hulle stap,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alta Bouwer het Nelie vir drie jaar, eers as vrywilliger en toe as lid van die personeel van Kankersorg, gehelp. Nelie s\u00ea dit was vir haar \u2019n groot hulp en ondersteuning in moeilike tye. Alta l\u00ea ook aan die einde van di\u00e9 maand die tuig neer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Nelie is \u2019n kankerpasi\u00ebnt nie die enigste in \u2019n familie wat jy moet bystaan nie, maar dat jy ook die gesin deur die donker tyd moet ondersteun en gedurig moet probeer verduidelik wat besig is om te gebeur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm kindertjies te versorg wat siek is, is baie traumaties. Palliatiewesorg is \u2019n moeilike paadjie om te stap en as pasi\u00ebnte in die privaat kliniek by my huis opgeneem word, is hulle dag en nag in my sorg,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nelie het egter almal met babas, wonde en wat inspuitings moet kry, verseker dat sy soggens nog op haar pos sal wees. Sy gaan egter net van 09:30 tot 13:00 werk en skaal af van die lang ure en nagtelike noodgevalle.
