Something About Health Care

2 Comments

My wife has been in the hospital since Saturday with a serious infection that required emergency surgery. She has had a couple other follow-up surgeries to be sure they got the infected stuff out. It’s been a week we never saw coming.

The good news is we have employers who are understanding and compassionate. Our health insurance is good. The hospital she is at is a wonderful place of great doctors, nurses, nurse techs and other staff. A true blessing if you ask me.

In the hospital where my wife is a patient are other people and other families who have their own health struggles. My heart goes out to them. Many are truly suffering serious illnesses and have been there much longer. I hope there will be healing and comfort for all.

Everyone has a right to good, quality, life sustaining healthcare. That is something that has been fought over for years. No country of any worth should deny their citizens the right to live because it’s too expensive. Many countries around the world make this a priority. Let’s hope America one day will really do the same. Everyone should have life and freedom from unnecessary pain.

If someones mouse is on the left side of their keyboard then most likely they are left-handed. There are a few exceptions. Left-handed people are special.

Something About Fast Food

Leave a comment

Fast food is a convenience, but it is a hassle too when your order is given to you incomplete when going through the drive thru. It happens so much lately.

There is sometimes difficulty being understood when placing your order especially when you have questions, and you are in a rush. Then you get to the window to pay and get your order, they hand it to you, and you check your bag and there are no condiments that you asked for and no flatware that should be there. Sometimes food is missing and that is a whole other level of inconvenience.

I hate to complain, but that is the only way you can be heard when your order is incomplete. Also, fast food is getting more expensive too.

I do feel for those who work in those restaurants because I worked for McDonald’s when in college. I just wish service was better, that isn’t too much to ask.

Something About Current Events

Another person was murdered in Minneapolis today. It’s a place that didn’t ask for the trouble it’s in right now.

A Winter storm is headed to our area. We are hunkering down for the next couple of days.

The United States is a horrible place because of our vile president and his government.

The world seems on fire. So much shit is going on.

Current events are sad, depressing, challenging.

I am feeling it all, and it’s a lot to deal with.

Somehow the Hunger Games movies are offering some comfort.

Lord have mercy.

Something About Feelings

1 Comment

I have talked about feelings before, and I have a few more things to say.

Everyone has feelings. They are wonderful, but they can also be a problem. I struggle with my feelings because I feel very deeply about things. A lot of times I don’t know how to manage it out of fear and perhaps some societal norms that men have about the subject.

Dealing with one’s feelings and emotions takes work, and I don’t always do my best there. Knowing your feelings requires you to sit with them and hope for the best. All I know is that “everybody hurts” sometimes, and that time can heal how you feel.

Something About A Funeral

1 Comment

I went to a funeral at church today. The person being memorialized was the brother of a fellow church member. Frankly, it was good to go and be reminded of how precious life is. Also, it was good to focus on being there for a friend who is grieving.

Everyone is grieving something these days. Losing someone special is a pain that hangs around for a long time. Trust me, I know all too well.

While I was there at church, I was unaware of what was going on in the rest of the world. Sure, I had my phone with me, but I just kept it in the holster on my waist. Bill, who was being remembered, and his family were the focus of the moment. I was glad to be there because it was the right thing to do. Rest in power to Bill and others who have left us for eternity.
