Today has been a bad day. My best friend had to go to hospital to have an eye test, as she had a haemorrhage behind on eye, and was not seeing properly, so I was on standby to go and help her get home if needed. Instead of which I spent the morning at the same hospital with another friend, who had an emergency call after a scan showed something in her bowel. She had an instant panic, as she was entitled to do, so I spent hours reassuring her, writing lists etc to help her, as they want to operate tomorrow. (I'm on a lunch break right now as I needed some space). I will then go back and help her with her stuff to go in. Then of course there is the visiting................. this is a very needy lady with no immediate family! And I am going to be so busy next week as I have a suit to deliver for a wedding and I have been putting it off. Today was to be the first day of a new month and a new energy!
Another friend has been retired from her job, and is thoroughly stressed about getting a new job, and downloads onto me.
Here comes the self pity bit - when I need an ear, or a hand, where do I turn? I am not well right now, waiting for test results, but I will be on my own, went for the tests on my own (my husband is hospital phobic - seriously). Waah!
Thank you. I now return you to your regular schedule.
