Conversation – 18

@oodiebom

Hi Oodie, that is good news. Your hubby has a room, took a shower/bath and feels better. Also glad he will go to rehabilitation and get his pain under control.
Hopefully the doctors will be able to locate the problem he is having with the different spells that happens off and on.
Know I am thinking of you, sending prayers your way Oodie.
A big hug and Brazilian kisses.

Hubby was almost his old self yesterday and I was happy. The nurse yesterday was great and we had some conversation as to where he was mentally at this stage. She said that everything changed when he was able to bathe and that is when he was able to chuckle and laugh. So, he is doing good and the case management at the hospital phoned twice today to go over what is happening at this stage. He will not be going to a convalescent/nursing home. Thank goodness. He will be admitted to a rehab facility for pain management and for regaining strength in both legs. They also let me know that the ones they will be recommending are all 5 stars. She also gave me an update that hubby is now in his own room and I have access to the nurse’s station for updates. Right now I am very tired and not sure if I will drive to the hospital. Visiting hours are now 7 am-7pm. Visiting hours while in the ER was non existent. When I stayed beyond the daylight hours I asked for someone to walk with me to the parking lot. Instead. the
security guards gave me a ride in their vehicle to my van. They do have a shuttle, but you have to be there to obtain a ride and that lasts only during the morning hours. The hospital has a parking garage and a walkway on the second level that brings you to the main floor and for your visitor’s pass. And yes, directions to the elevators and to the room the patient is using.

Aside from being tired, I now have laryngitis from the air conditioner that was right on top of us in what you call a room in the ER area. I have taken some Manuka and that is helping. Will now make some tea with Manuka and Ginger. And that reminds me to pick up fresh ginger and lemon to make my own concoction. I contacted our Insurance company and gave them an update. I am going to try to get some rest, though I need to go to Aldi’s and UPS to return some things to you know who.

Tonight is Trivia. Not sure if I can make it, and if not, someone will take over. If I can, will get you all started. Take care and most importantly for you and everyone on this thread, STAY SAFE.

When We Don’t Take Action

Our actions shape our lives, but what we don’t take action on can be just as powerful.
Life is sculpted on a moment-to-moment basis. Every one of the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take contributes to the complex quality and character of the universe’s unfolding. It simply is not possible to be alive without making an impact on the world that surrounds us. Every action taken affects the whole as greatly as every action not taken. And when it comes to making the world a better place, what we choose not to do can be just as important as what we choose to do.

For example, when we neglect to recycle, speak up, vote, or help somebody in immediate need, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to be an agent for positive change. Instead, we are enabling a particular course to continue unchallenged, picking up speed even as it goes along. By holding the belief that our actions don’t make much of a difference, we may find that we often tend to forego opportunities for involvement. Alternatively, if we see ourselves as important participants in an ever-evolving world, we may feel more inspired to contribute our unique perspective and gifts to a situation.

It is wise to be somewhat selective about how and where we are using our energy in order to keep ourselves from becoming scattered. Not every cause or action is appropriate for every person. When a situation catches our attention, however, and speaks to our heart, it is important that we honor our impulse to help and take the action that feels right for us. It may be offering a kind word to a friend, giving resources to people in need, or just taking responsibility for our own behavior. By doing what we can, when we can, we add positive energy to our world. And sometimes, it may be our one contribution that makes all the difference. Amen! ✨✨
