FarSeer Introduction - Page 37

Roz, I just read your blog and I was glad to read that you was able to understand when your sister was talking!. I also understand when she feels her mom is a "jailer". This is the same way my grandmom used to see me and tell me about it. The whole thing is that they do not really are aware of their disabilities, they actually think they are "normal" and that they can do all the things the rest of the people do and when you are trying to help them and protect them they get angry with you, but you know what? a sister in the Church told me something I will never forget. She said "Don't worry about it, when we die and the veil is removed from us, she will know all the things you did for her and that everything was for her benefit and she will be so grateful for it". I know this also will happen with your sister. Right now she is not physically and mentally able to see it but one day she will know of all the sacrifices your mom and you did for her and she will be overwhelmed with job.

Introduction FarSeer

That is great wisdom you received, my friend, and it applies to us here too I suppose. I keep thinking that my sister "going home" will be to her heavenly home, where she will be truly happy. There isn't any other place where she can be truly happy.

You are down and then someone kicks you while you there. To top it off the rain starts to fall and lightning breaks while a cold wind blows, but you know what... a warm prayer is being petitioned on your behalf. May the Lord bring you brighter days.

Thank you, my friend. Sorry to be a sniveler today... too much happening all at once. I appreciate your prayer on my behalf!

Introduction FarSeer

Do not worry about it, we all have our ups and downs and sometimes the down phase can seem like forever, believe me, I know. Are you feeling better now? What about your sister?

FarSeer Introduction

Actually, I'm going to the doctor today, as this cold or whatever it is has not eased at all, and may be worse.

My sister had a relapse because someone at the hospital dropped the ball and did not administer the final five days of her antibiotic. She was nearly comatose when I saw her on Sunday, and was no better all day yesterday as my mother sat with her. Mom said she didn't think sis even knew she was there. However, they at least know which antibiotic was working before and can continue that course. I hope she's better soon. There is not much so awful as feeling helpless to change things (as I'm sure we all know).

Firstly, I hope there is nothing serious with you, let us know. Second, do I hear a law suit coming or was it a simple mistake on the part of the hospital? My new slogan that I have committed to memory:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Thank you my friend. No, nothing seriously wrong with me, just a major cold/sinus thingy that has eased a lot today -- enough so that I was able to work out this morning after 10 days of not being able to drag myself out of bed! And also No Lawsuit -- perhaps if she were to die, we might consider a wrongful death due to negligence. Not for money, but to remind those people that they have a legal obligation to do their duty when the lives of other people rest in their hands. This ain't a card game, it's life and death.

The Serenity Prayer is a powerful mantra when we bring it into our lives, and brings peace particularly in situations where we have no choice but to accept.
