My friend and former co-worker is back in the hospital.  I'm very sad.  I thought she was over this hurdle, but I guess not.  I wish she could see all the possitives in her life.  Abbie and Mark are taking care of 2 of her children.  I'm helping by babysitting.  It's exhausting!!!!!  A 14 year old and a 3 year old can keep you very busy!!!!!!

I am tired but upbeat.  One of my dear friends had to be hospitalized this weekend.  Medication problem made her very sick.  The doctor put her on bad medication.  It was a serious emergency Friday and Sunday.  I am exhausted.  When stuff like this happens I always have 2 main feelings.  First, I feel inadequit.  My mom was so wonderful at helping.  She knew just the right thing to say or do.  I sometimes feel like Gomer Pyle struggling to say and do the best thing to make things easier.  Second, I feel really grateful.  My doctor is very careful on what medicines I take.  He works within my budget so I don't flip out over medical costs.  I have it really good, and I feel bad that other people don't have as much consideration in medical care.  My friend has children and her and her children have to adjust to her being in the hospital for at least a week.  It makes me angry that this doctor put her on this medicine.  The doctor at the emergency room called this a "wicked" drug with "evil" side effects.  Why give this to a mother of 3?  What was the doctor thinking?  The 3 year old and the 14 year old are safe and staying with a good friend.  The 16 year old is at her best friend's house and is doing okay.  They are just really scared for their mom.

I have an infection.  I feel lousy.  I'm on more medicine.  My fasting blood sugar was 285 this morning.  I just want to rest and wait to feel better.
