I hope and pray he gets masks. We haven't left the house since we flew home last Sunday except once to pick up food we had ordered online. Just don't want to take the chance of picking up anything or spreading anything. I am hearing increasingly good things about the malaria drug and hope it is something we can count on to fight covid-19.<br /><br />Haven't read the book (or even heard of it!), but will check it out. I seem to be listening to books more than stitching these days--just finding it hard to concentrate!

And, thank you for mentioning your son (He will be in my prayers too). I am so thankful I don't have to work but my licenses (Indiana/Ohio) are both active. So, I don't know if I could be called back to work or not. Now that being said...I have a soap box and I don't know how or where to vent it. I appreciate your listening ear:) Currently the nurse patient ration is 1:15 in a nursing home. A nursing assistant may be assigned 15 but then the nurse is responsible to 30 patients. In the hospital my ratio was suppose to be 1:6. And ICU (this is your vent patients) 1:1. Now these crazy people who insist that their rights have been taken away really don't care. I can't imagine being a nurse in ICU with a ration of 1:4 vent patients and if one codes that leaves the other 3 unattended. Believe me you pray a lot! God forbid if 2 code at the same time. This is when people start suing the hospital and the nurses. My heart is with the caregivers, please let everyone know to give them a break, take care of yourself, so they can take better care of you. Thank you Vickie, for listening.Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980303197489892245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-407963254674094722.post-65954956350430914052020-03-20T08:47:01.927-05:002020-03-20T08:47:01.927-05:00Definitely scary times especially for those on the...Definitely scary times especially for those on the front lines in the medical fields.

I hope your son's hospital gets its needed supplies quickly and your foot will improve. I understand the not wanting to gain weight but if the treadmill is when it hurts worst, perhaps laying off that for awhile will give it time to heal. There may be other exercises you can do in the meantime.

I hope your son's hospital gets the masks they need quickly. It's dangerous that they have to use the same ones over and over. I hope he stays safe. Thank god for the dedication of the nurses and doctors.<br /><br />I never read that book but will have too, sounds like a good one to get lost in during these stressful time. <br /><br />I hope you get to see the doctor in the not too distant future about the cyst.

I'm finding it hard to navigate as I'm sure millions of others are too. I work for the NHS and currently the staff in my building have little or no protective gear - we have not been issued with masks but hopefully this might change. There was a news story today saying that masks issued in some hospitals here in Scotland were out of date in 2016.

Total madness, I am so ashamed to be Australian especially after the great way we supported each other during the bushfire crisis. I really feel for your son and I am praying for him and all of the medical people on the front line. My eldest son is in lockdown in Kuala Lumpur and so I am really worried for him (he works and lives there). Re your foot, I have the same issue in my right foot - old fracture, which was never treated, pain in the top of the foot and I now have osteo-arthritis in the foot. I have found that if I wear a shoe with arch support, that it actually helps the top of the foot and I can walk without pain. I have been dealing with this for nearly two years now so I really sympathise. Lastly, My Cousin, Rachel is a fabulous novel and I am so glad that you enjoyed it, have you read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier yet? Probably an even better read! Stay safe and well my dear friend and thank goodness we have stitching!Kaisievichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.com
