104 Elizabeth Hurlbut (Long-Term Care, Village of Riverside Glen)

For this episode I interview Elizabeth Hurlbut, a resident in Long-Term Care at The Village of Riverside Glen. When quarantine measures hit, Elizabeth - who has several chronic health conditions - had to make the difficult decision to leave her part time job in order to protect her health and the health of her fellow residents. The pause is difficult, and puts the breaks on her hopes of transitioning back to independent living. But it gives her time for her graphic arts, and she's nearly finished her illustrated dictionary of American Sign Language. Elizabeth is good at finding the humour in difficult situations, and knows a heck of a lot about ASL, and both of these come out in our chat today. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing!
