BEING CALM IN THE HOSPITAL 8-19-16

-



It's nearly 7pm, friends, and I am in the hospital (again). 
I posted this morning, how I've been so sick.
It turns out that I have pneumonia.
I really so tired of being sick and so, really sick of being tired!
I am being treated with both IV and oral antibiotics.
I was in the chapel at the hospital, before going to the Emergency Room.
I prayed and prayed and prayed in the hospital chapel.
I prayed for a way out of this.
Then, as if planted in my head supernaturally:
The way out is to go through it.
So, friends, I'm trying to be strong, brave, calm and peaceful.
Maybe it won't happen at this moment.
But, like the warrior I am, and with the help of God, 
I will persevere!

Serious Problems That Circulate Among The Medical Profession There have been countless advances in the medical field. These fascinating evolutions have saved my life and the lives of countless others! These medical miracles have improved the lives of multitudes and have also created paths of wellness in the lives an infinite number of others! Though this is fascinating news and it all benefits humankind, there are serious problems in the presentation of medical treatment.

Through these medical marvels are wondrous, it feels to me that needed changes need to brought forth in how well these medical professionals  communicate with their patient(s). People with serious and chronic health conditions, especially those who require more medical care and treatments, like myself,  know well that  the Healthcare System needs improvements that would benefit the people who need t

The Passing of One of My Dearest Friend, Reverend Ernest Batten With sadness, sorrow and immeasurable grief, one of my dearest friends, Reverend Ernest Batten, passed away on April 17, 2024. Reverend Ernest Batten left these Earthly Dwellings and has risen into the Heavenly Realms. Reverend Ernest Batten is now sheltered in the loving Arms of Jesus and has been reunited with his dear and faithful wife, Elsie Batten. With my heart too heavy to measure, I am now suffering immeasurable grief. Now, my good friends, I will tell you of my faithful and compassionate friend, Reverend Ernest Batten. Ernie Batten was love, light, beauty and a comfort in a world of craziness, absurdity, unpredictably and idiocy!

Senior Living Residence, how beautiful, loving, wonderful and astonishing this world actually is! Ernie, I and all of us, residents live in this bright, clean and warm/co

SLEEPY &; THINKING IN MY RECLINER 2-15-2024

Thinking While Cozy, In My Recliner Sleepilly, I think, while I lay cozily nesting in my recliner at my apt. Wrapped safe and tight, in the safety of my apt,   I am consumed by the warmth and comfort of my pretty pink robe. Now, I think... It's Friday afternoon and I haven't felt physically well for a long stretch of time. Fatigued, shortness of breath, exhaustion, tiredness, weakness, low energy, etc... have captured most of my days lately. Emotionally, I am distressed, distraught, feel abandoned, lost, frightened and hurt! There are people I hoped would be here with me, and help me as I battle the difficult, the unimagineable and the frightening. These people, I hoped, would come, sit, talk, listen and stay with me. In their hands would be gifts wrapped with ribbons of color. Attached to these ribbons of the multitude of bright colors are wonderful boxes with smiley stickers in all sizes! As I gaze into the hearts of these Gifts of Womder, smiles, laugher, gratitude and love
