Having work for twenty years as an Adult Bone Marrow transplant Nurse I have seen my fair share of debilitating and life threatening disease. One thing that has always stuck with me is that tomorrow is promised to no one. We must take our blessings as they come and live each day to the fullest. Each day that we live on this complicated planet is a gift.
That is a beautiful red, thank you for the link. It’s funny, I have hypochondriac tendencies from growing up with a mother who was the opposite. If we weren’t clearly dying we were certainly fine enough to go to school. Now as I try to take better care of myself I struggle with reacting to every sensation in my body and not knowing if it needs attention or not.
Thank you for your comments. I've happily become someone who gives myself a few days to heal on my own before I go for help, and typically that works just fine. For me, the doctor's visits are still a little tortuous, lol, so I like this new approach.
Lovely piece. I howled at your mom's taking you to the doctor for what, leprosy? And it was flea bites. But living through such a storm is not funny. We expect too much of time and life. Both are finite.
Thanks, Sallie. I always enjoy your comments. I can't remember now what she possibly could have thought I had. But whatever it was, it likely was deadly. :)

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. Those patients were lucky to receive your care! 💞
