Asbestosis patient in hospice care gets to go fishing

John Lusk of Salem, South Carolina was diagnosed with asbestosis in the unhurried 1990s. Asbestosis is a disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. The asbestos fibers scar the lung tissue. Lusk became very sick three years ago, as well as he needs constant oxygen in order to breathe. He has been with Medi Home Hospice care for almost a year now, as well as he recently lamented that he wanted to go fishing again.

Despite the fact that Lusk’s body was not in any condition to go on a fishing trip, people from the hospice made arrangements for him to visit Harry’s Fish Camp, where he was not an unfamiliar face, for without charge. Lusk worried how his health would be on the trip, but he was very excited about going. Lusk as well as his family had their transportation, meals, as well as suite bungalow provided for them, making for a stress-free vacation. He even managed to catch a 26-pound channel catfish while he was there; he had to halt as well as rest while he was reeling it in, but he said it was a lot of fun.

The Lusk family is very grateful to the people at Medi Home Hospice as well as Harry’s Fish Camp for making this one final fishing trip likely.
