Ah-Choo!
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009Dealing with a chest/head cold this week, and sleeping an inordinate amount of time, it seems. Chugging away on the Invalid Sweater, and a one-skein purse to felt. Both pretty straightforward tasks – no fanciness for the moment, since my medicated head probably wouldn’t even accept the info.
Interesting world map about H1N1 (Swine Flu). Not a pleasant picture.
Be sure to check Goodbye, Vietnam, just posted by Bonnie. It’s always a bit of a sad thing to leave a hospital after days, and sometimes weeks, of such warm and solicitous care. In my experience it’s tough for the staff as well, because the danger of getting too close to the patient is always present. If they could display their feelings each time a special patient leaves, it would make doing their job very difficult, and professionalism could be compromised. And it’s too bad – but a friendly goodbye wave is better for them than any hugs o
r tears. On to the next sickie! – must be their mantra. So not easy for them either……But getting well is the best prize for everyone. It’s always good to see a smile like that!!
