MY life continued...

Thanks for everyone’s good thoughts. I have waves of feeling better mixed with heart palpitations. It’s scary when you feel you’re barely above the water. I do find solace in church. The family really got involved this year and I feel it helps. At mass, the priest spoke about Job and how he had everything…family, possessions, faith…and God took it all away. Job still kept his faith though he didn’t understand the lesson in it all. That’s what I need to do. Profess that faith that I’m in God’s hands and he will care for us. Truly, I’m rich in many ways. I have lasting love, wonderful children, a healthy family, and a roof over head. And if I lost every possession I had, it wouldn’t matter, as long as I had my family.

So, just when I thought I couldn’t handle another thing, E got hurt at daycare. She fell on the playhouse (tripped while running/on ice) and cut her upper lip. DH & I sat at emerge for nearly 4 hours, of which E was not allowed to eat, only to find there were 4 more ahead of us. I saw 3 patients go ahead of her who arrived after us. I was really annoyed. For the 2 minutes it would take to tell us to go home and slap a band-aid on it. That’s what we ended up doing. E ate cold nuggets and fries, and warm milk on the way home. So frustrating! I’m going to the Cobequid next time for sure. I believe the care at the IWK is exemplary…but not for a 4+ hour wait. E’s fine, though I’m sure she’ll have a nasty scar.

Well, I must be off. Gotta have lunch and go to my hair appt…which I can’t afford. UGH! DH said he felt this year was going to be a great one for us. I hope he’s right!
