This afternoon was my last meeting - and I got the position within the local hospital here and I start right after Easter. This is a big postivie and then unfortunately upon my call place to my folks - I came to learn that tomorrow my father goes into have surgery as he only has one working eye. So it was a very big plus within obtaining this area within the hospital. As for my father, it's not a plus when you hear this the night before. A good thing and then it's rather different in hearing the news regarding my father the night before ...but you go with the flow.

wishes for a speedy recovery for your father Jack and great to hear of your new position my friend.
ReplyDeletethat is life, As you aptly puts it, we go with the flow. Hoping only for the best outcomes yet still, readying ourselves for the not so good results. In all of this, i pray for God's intervention. tight hugs and yes, congratulations Jack
ReplyDeleteYeah what shall be shall be he lost one eye back a few years with one of 6 mini strokes and I would imagine that he is concerned and it was a great day as I obtained a position here as all came into line - and it's not easy getting into the hospital systems here or anywhere for that matter but it happened, on the flipside I called home just a while ago and got this news so there is nothing I can do, but from what I gather he knew this two weeks ago so that would tell me that the probability is good as it's not a stroke, so I will find out more after what ever is being done there. From what I gathered it's some sort of surgery on his one working eye. Mike I am really pleased with this work as it's been something I was waiting for over the last two weeks. So a positive it is and I have no control of the outcome with my father's situation. I think I shall call my brother in Edmonton and see tonight or tomorrow if he knows more. Thanks Mike.
ReplyDeleteWhat will you be doing there? Congrats! Your Dad'll be fine...
ReplyDeleteIt is life and I spent allot of time on his medical situation and needs. My mother seemed
ReplyDeleteto be fine so it was not all taxing. So I am really happy that this now is all done for myself
and I like the people that I will be working with and with god's will my father shall come
out of this alright. I was a little taken back to hear about his case - but that is the way
it is and again I say such is life. We have had our differences in the last year but here
is where mothers seem to be the strength within the family. Yet it was a surprise and I hope
that this operation is nothing too serious, but I can't afford to focus on it - I honor my folks
but still I am very determined with what I am doing, I don't think that is self serving to realize
what one can do and what one can't do as well there are other siblings in the family.
Mind you the call at first a surprise but so be it.
Meeting with patients and counselling - I kid you not Summer.
ReplyDeleteAs there is a need for speaking with many as they are rather
suspended due to medical reasons.
With regards to my father I believe so as well as I know his medical situation
ReplyDeleteof the last nearly ten years there is a time where you have to say what ever
shall be will be. He is a very determined one and for the most part I leave it
to just that - as what ever will be will be. Hence, acceptance is the key to the thing
one has no control.
You have a big heart and will do a great job I'm sure! Congrats again.
ReplyDeleteGood going Jack...congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news Jack. Sorry at the same thing to hear about your dad.
ReplyDeleteLife can be very bittersweet Jack.
ReplyDeleteBut, first let me congratulate you on your new job.How fantastic for you.
I will send you some wonderful healing energy for your father. I have heard that eyes have the ability to heal very well. Let's hope it true for your father too.
Blessings Jack~
I'm sorry to hear that your father has to have surgery. Will it save his sight? I hope something can be done to help him. I'm still waiting to hear from my doctor concerning my swollen lymph nodes.
ReplyDeleteWhat position will you be filling at the hospital? I worked in a hospital kitchen a little over 40 years ago. I didn't care for it. I worked the food service line and my sister was the assistant to the dietitian. So she thought that she could boss me around. It didn't work out because she both forgot she was my sister and then treated me like a wayward child...she's 11 years older than me. So one day, after my boss had gotten onto me for something minor, my sister blew it all out of proportion and yelled at me. I handed her my apron and asked if she wanted it because I wouldn't need it any more, because I quit. We didn't speak for quite a while. But we finally got over it. I can't wait to hear more about you job Congratulations!
Congrats Jack ..but sorry to hear about your father hope all goes well..
ReplyDeleteLife is a roller coaster, isn't it? Mountains and valleys. Praying for a good result from your father's operation. I know you'll keep us posted on your progress, too.
ReplyDeleteCongrads on the job and sending a speedy recovery to your father
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new Job Jack and I hope your father will be fine.
ReplyDeleteSending healing thoughts to your father. Looking forward to hearing more about the job.
ReplyDeleteKudos, Jack, for getting a job that I know you will be great at doing.....wishing your father a speedy recovery from his surgery.
ReplyDeleteYAY for you!
ReplyDeleteNew job - how wonderful ! Jack, did you leave Facebook?
ReplyDeleteThanks Juliana. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is good and as it's the 4th of the month he went in and apparently he will be having a surgery
ReplyDeletetomorrow he goes in to have an eye measurement so it's not that alarming Doug.
Erika it can..bring on the karma as most of all I found that my mother was wore out as again I got off the phone with here but I knew this month within the family there was a birthday or something and here on the 6th it's there anniversary. I must send flowers - I so wish they would have taken to computers.
ReplyDeleteAs of this evening I just found out Becky that he will. He was in today and the specialist has him back in tomorrow and I tried to calm my mother down as she sounded tired - I could pull a few strings but she said she wished to take him back in tomorrow. Thereafter he will have some kind of surgery it sounds like sounds like he won't loose his one eye. Which is good - much more than good.
ReplyDeleteNext week I start on Tuesday and I was there today and it's a very decent place. And thanks!
Thanks Julie and for the other part it is what it is and I am not going to get all down about it.
ReplyDeleteThere does come that pull factor where you do want to be there to assist. But...
Thank you Grammy it can be yet I have learned to tune out of it yet for there Anniversary. I have to get flowers to them at this point as I forgot
ReplyDeleteabout there Anniversary.
Thanks Sharon.
ReplyDeleteYeah I am sure he shall be Willbert, thanks regarding both areas.
ReplyDeleteI do look forward to it Rodney as well as the healing of my father as he has gone through
ReplyDeleteallot over the last 12 years. Medically, I have reframed from writing on family for the longest
but I will say that there are many which are hoping that this procedure goes well for him.
Vicky I thought he would have had it today but he goes in for some eye measurement tomorrow and then goes back in tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe part within this which I deplore is that withinthe medical system here with is
if not the biggest union - they all take holiday over the weekend and that does discourage one. Yet if it was very serious they would have done what ever procedure was necessary today.
The job I will after a couple weeks share a few pictures as I am not sure what the policy is there. But it shall be an area of worth.
I'll be darn hi, Jimmy thanks!
ReplyDeleteSusan yes and thanks with the job. Facebook I did leave as it was draining my
ReplyDeletelaptop.
