| Days........As a reach MIDDLE AGE or should I say...the over 40 something or the born in 1965 crowd???? or should I say the 40 something is the new 20 something with lots of grace and wisdom added on???? This week has been truly a trial for my DH and I. We were both very sick this week me at home with the "Influenza B which was NOT covered in said FLU SHOT that I got....DH seemed to "share" his influenza B with me DH had said flu shot too...but with DH and his severe asthma this landed him back into the hospital for a 6 day stay and much of a repeat from December... One week ago today at work I started to feel just not right cold, sinus symptoms winter yuck....but did not think at days end DH would be in ER with postive culture and I would be home in bed so sick...I had a wonderful glow fever for four days or more and felt terrible before I left the hospital I went down to the gift shop and bought DH a toothbrush, hair brush, chips, gum, candy, kleenex and a pack of shell playing cards anything I could think of and I am so glad because poor DH was put in quarentine and noone visited for the whole time he was "inhouse" and I was quarentined at home...DD's were here but kept to themselves except for going and fetching things mom needed...DS went to grandma's and grandpa's for the weekend the extended plan...I am just now starting to feel more HUMAN again although I am still exhausted....now for my point to my story....I work in the medical field and I seem to see every day less and less compassion and more hurry, hurry, and hurry and selfishness....where is the going out of your way for another human being? where is the love your neighbor as yourself?? I am always wanting to "gift" people and my one "love language" is gifts....as my DH said this week it is almost being made to feel quilty for being ill... I was told I was the interfering wife in a round about way because I take care of my husband and I know to much and should've been a nurse (my husband's dr's words) I need to let the system work and not jump ahead now this is the Dr who gave my husband his home number to call if he needs anything and this is the same Dr who will chat with the male medical assistant who I work with and the nurses are amazed at how he gets to talk to them (the Dr's) all the time. Seems to me a double road and in the week before I drove an elderly patient from our building to the main hospital with the medical assistant to make sure he got to his xray he was frail and in alot of pain...I had a coworker say Robin that is a liablity........I have been told I do to much in my job and now others expect it and that gets me in trouble.....it is so hard to be in the WORLD and not of it but where in is world does Christ say no compassion....then I had to go to a local stat care to get a flu culture now why could not my Dr who has been my Dr for 16 years or more not call Tamiflu in for me with my DH positive culture his admission to the hospital and my now fever and bodyaches not do me a favor and call it in but no I have to go the next morning (Sat)to a statcare wait forever feeling really sick and not sure how I am going to drive home and exposing everyone else to the flu....hence nice Dr in statcare states I do not know WHY your Dr did not call this in???? gave work slip till Wed now I have sinus infection and flu B and I have fibro so I am hurting really bad fever for 4 plus days in bed not even reading then WORK says NEED slip to come back or continue off call my "normal" dr can not fill it out because did not see well normal Dr is 40 minutes away not well enough to DRIVE self there Dh still in hospital lonely and sick....go back to statcare...same Dr not so COMPASSIONATE now well you will be tired...why didn't you go back to work??? WELL BECAUSE I AM STILL SICK AND I NOW HAVE LARYNGITIS too and I schedule and talk on the phone all day and my employerslocal hospital I work for says I have to have a work slip and my slip only says till Wed and it is THURS...well now feel like a two year old getting their fingers slapped WHY CAN'T YOU work....Have you ever tried talking to elderly patient's when you have laryngitis and major fatigue and feel weaker than them??????WELL I THOUGHT OF THE COMPASSION FOR ME AND STAYED HOME.....and this is the girl who very rarely takes a sick day...I think I took one last year but this year bring on the compassion and the chicken noodle soup......now should I or should I not go to the Mr statcare Dr on Tues to get a Dr in my local area like I had planned but ummmmm I am not sure I liked his compassion on my second visit telling me what I could and could not do physically...after 42 years in this body I do finally know my limits and my compassion level...Do YOU know yours???????????? Blessings, Robin Adair  compassion

| I now have influenza B too :( | | |
| My DH is in the hospital again with his asthma/COPD and influenza type B which yes we both got the flu shots but this flu was not covered...and now I have a sinus infection and just developed a FEVER so now I will probably have the flu too........Scott's O2 was only 87-89 this am and it is only 92-93 on O2 in his room right now he is quarentined and I am here at home miserable and I really need to be cleaning my HOUSE down instead of bed!!!!!! Prayer PLEASE Blessings, Robin | | |
| On Wed I am taking a HUGE leap of faith on my part and starting a women's Bible Study and Faithscrapbooking group at our church there will be about 10-12 ladies and we will commit to a 1-2 year time frame and I will be the main leader with some help from a friend of mine Jeannette. So far I have made up friendship bags for the creative ladies ministry site and I made foam cut out of Accu Cut a Cross with a open book in the middle and then put purple ribbon in the middle for a name tag for everyone. Now I have to think of something really quick to make late tomorrow night for our meeting on Wed evening. We will be studying maybe Pat Ennis I think is the author's name Becoming a Women who pleases God....Any ideas for food ladies???????? Which I have my Dave Ramsey Peace class tomorrow night so somewhere after that I have to get the stuff made.....Pray please that we will come together as a group Blessings,Robin | | |
