Absolutely unacceptable. And this bullshit of bring the family? No. Not cool. Make sure the risk groups are safe, and THEN move on. I felt bad because I wanted to bring Rosalyn to the clinic at Vivian’s school, something I could have done as she’s in the 6mths-5years risk group. I didn’t, because they had vaccines for the school groups, period.

Sigh.

The crows are getting ready for the trip south, and they’ve been there for at least as long as we have. Every night at sundown they swoop in and circle the hospital like eight times before finally coming to rest in a large stand of trees just beside the entrance. Then they squawk at each other all night. Weird.

Hi Clare! I do love it when you’re here… or anywhere.

Hi Mark… that’s a great point, buddy. And to a point I agree. I’m with you on what’s important — the actions taken being good is what’s important, and I agree the motivation becomes moot as long as the actions are good. But I think the motivational factor can define the response. Basically, I think the chicken came first.

Bonjour Thor… I’m definitely still seeing my psychiatrist, we’re back up to once a week visits because he’s a little concerned about my state of being.

Hi again Rachel… it’s been a while, and it’s always good to see you here. Thanks for the kind words. I think most of us live parallel lives. It’s why I think we can all help each other through our experiences, and how we deal with them afterwards.

Hello Jeffery… thanks for coming back. Don’t see this as a contest, it doesn’t help in our recoveries if we start to think our pain is somehow “less than” someone else’s. We deal with what we’ve got.

We’ve all got something to teach, and we’ve all got something to learn.
