R E L I E F

There are a few new people I have connected with and yesterday I wrote this story with regards to family. Ironically today out of no where I had a call from my mother. I dropped all things at 11am as there was a need to overwatch my father. As my mother apparently had to run to the bank. I certainly know they are getting older. But at the same time I am still glad they are around.

Some of you were on my blog when I had a situation that took place with my father's health and I will tell you I thought here it comes again. He was very sick and did not wish to go into the emergency. So, I made a call into his doctor whom teaches as a clinician at the university as well as has handled my father as a GP for years. Finally I convinced him to go into the clinic and thank god it's a flu and he was given Amoxicillin.

How ironic I wrote this one story with regards to family and thereafter I had this situation. Did I fear the situation again, yeah I did and I think my father did as well - as well my mother.

So finally they are all fine and I am all to glad that this day is over to say the least. Things happen that are so often very unexpected. But I am glad that I was not spending my entire evening within the emergency again.

I am relieved beyond words...

It was just some few months back actually probably 8, that he went through this situation that we thought was going to take place again.

  2. What started out as a scary event, turned out good, and I am so glad your Dad will be ok. One never knows when one gets up in the morning, what will happen in his life that day. Only God knows.

  5. Linda, I am glad and this was a very long day to say the least - he is not a stubborn man but one that knows where he stands medically, and how great it was just a flu so all shall be well. We never do know, but how this came to be out of no where I have been there so many times and I am glad that it's fine. I am rather private with these areas but it's an expression and worth the saying.

  6. Arielle when we left, I was so elated as he has had a long hard battle and he keeps on ticking my mother as well.
    I just hate hospitals more than you know now. It's been such a time with these matters and ironically and without fabrication to my post of yesterday.
    I could not believe it when I had this call on my cell this morning.
    Relaxing I am...

  8. Danni the ease came after all this was done, I promised myself I would not write on personal matters but with the friends I do have on here I don't mind at all
    expressing these thing. And as I am sure you know or I hope you do I am the least one to complain on matters as such.
    It's ironic I did a write yesterday with regards to my father's sister and it really just blew me away - but I have always had this motto of Acceptance is the Key.

  9. So glad it isn't more serious with your dad! The flu IS serious, but with treatment, he will recover. It's good that you could help and be there for both of your parents! I'll keep your dad in my prayers!

  11. So glad your mom and dad are OK, and hope it will go uphill from here.
    One of the reasons I moved to Blairgowrie, was to be nearer to my folks (2kms away), as they are also getting on in years, and this way I can be nearby, should something happen.

  12. Thanks Terri, this is anything but serious and I am glad the day is over to say the least. One does what they can as they afford me the right to live my life and I will never render from that, but tomorrow is a new day which shall be much better than this. The old saying of "honor thy father and mother" - still does apply from where I see things.

  13. I shall you do what you do and then you move on with things. I looked into the skies just now and this is the last evening of summer here.
    Yet it's nice so you do things and then you move on. Such is life...

  14. Hi Annette, yeah that is close and well I moved back here and I never expected that the encounters would be as such but when one goes through it they gain that understanding of what it is. By the way my fathers doctor comes from South Africa - not kidding!
    So a flu is a good thing relative to all that has taken place today. Onwards we go with life...

  16. Silvia he has had cancer for years but he is doing very well. Today he had only a flu and it's a relief and a very good thing to say the least.
    What comes about you accept and go forward regardless of what it may be. Some people have a determination that takes them far beyond whatever they have.
    My father is truly an example of this - and it's great that he only has a flu and with an anti biotic he shall be fine. As well, with my mother.
    I have come to accept some of these things yet at the same time everything as to do with attitude and what ever faith we all have.
    But earlier when I wrote it literally was a relief and now I am very pleased and a very different day has flowed into a very positive evening.
