I know what you mean Mare. At one time my heart and mind was nailed shut to the concept of a Higher Power, but little by litte I became more receptive and one day I had a series of "coincidences" that blew my mind. I really am a true believer, but I don't really know in what!!

I do know that the man called Jesus led a very interesting life and if I could be a little more like him it would be a big improvement on the "old" me.

Hi R&C! Wow - I have not been checking in lately because of the Thanksgiving holiday, but I had a chance to catch up today. While it sure sounds like you have alot to pray for, it also sounds as though you have alot to give thanks for, too. Prayer & religion itself have been a little hard for me to wrap my head around in the past few years, but it sure seems to be working for you and I hope it continues to do so as OG finds himself on the road to recovery. Every time I hear a story like this, my heart opens to prayer a little more (its my head that takes convincing). What I do know is that nurses can be a "Godsend". They are willing to make an actual connection with the patient & family (Doctors are often remiss in this area)and can be extremely comforting & knowledgeable. It sounds like you got a really good one. :-> Well, here's hoping that all goes well with OG's health & yours, too. I wish you the best (especially over the coming holiday season) & send hugs. You are in my thoughts & prayers, too.
- Mare Freeborn

I made my thanks and appreciation known RNSANE. There were many hugs as we left and I think that I even detected the odd tear or two. We should have gone back for OG's potasium level to be checked today but he wasn't well enough. When I phoned to let them know the ward sister said that they had been looking forward to seeing him again and were really sorry he wasn't well. The District Nurse took the bloods instead.

Amen to that VM

Things have been very tricky today Rosiero. OG's temperature dropped again and I got quite fraught. The District Nurse came in and she was very reassuring. She came as a result from Marie Curie who have also arrange for a MacMillan nurse. I think that we are finally getting hooked in to "care in the community". They say they will give every assistance so that OG doesn't have to go back into hospital again unless it is absolutely necessary.

I did send a thank you card aims, and bought boxes of chocolates!

Good luck for Tuesday Maggie.

told u OG is a tough old turkey and wont give up and i know u wont.
all the good both of u have done for others throughout the last 33 years weve known each other is being honoured now by Him who knows how. we have known many angels adapt weird & wonderful forms. Hugs for both from myself and the Contessa.

It is nice to get a thank you - though we are doing our jobs, as nurses, people come and go in our lives, over the years, and often, never look back, they are just so relieved to be well and headed home.

Thank the Lord that OG survived this calamity and is with you at home. My prayers are with you two and with this nurse who continues to care and teach those under her.

Thank God who ever you deem him t be for an experinced nurse
They often know far more than the drs

I just so hope for some good news for yuo xxx

My God, you have been through the mill and backwards. That nurse was a guardian angel in disguise. As aims says, a card and maybe a box of chocolates would not go amiss. Do hope you get through the nightmare soon. My sympathy and empathy go out to you.

I'm thinking a small thank you card to your angel nurse might be a very nice thing to do. I think they rarely get anything like that and she really did save you from losing OG.

Thinking of you and OG.

I'm glad he is home and comfortable and sleeping and eating. He will feel more himself at home then in those sterile noisy hospitals. Where people just seem to get sicker.

It seems to be one scare after another. Hoping that OG improves from now on and that you can both get adequate rest and sleep and nourishment. Nothing worse than hanging about in hospitals.
I am still waiting too!
