Both the G-man & I have been "under the weather" the last few days. A stomach bug hit on Sunday for me and on Monday for him. Gertie has been having to play nurse to the both of us. ...and I might add she's doing a very good job.We have been in such good health for the last few years except for aches & pains from arthritis, over-exertion, a hernia surgery for the G-man and carpel-tunnel surgery for me. When these bugs and flu hit it is a wake-up call to how fragile our bodies really are. We try to eat well, exercise, not expose ourselves to illnesses of others and yet an illness will sneak into our lives.
These are minor problems compared to friends and family who are suffering from heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and cancer. Life is scary, illness makes us vulnerable to depression which compounds the underlying problems.
These days I am thinking of two Canadian friends who are suffering from cancer. My thoughts are with Renee & her family and Barry and his. Today perhaps Barry has good news and will be cancer free & not need more chemo-therapy. I hope Renee is free of suffering and that her pain is being well managed.
Other blogger friends have just lost their mothers. It is a time of sorrow. My thoughts are with you all. May you have strength and love to carry you through.
