I spent nearly a week in the hospital with my husband when he had his first brain surgery and there were times I received those dark looks. I had a fruit basket delivered to the nursing staff and told them how much I appreciated them. And I continued to stay to make sure he was getting the right care.<br /><br />And that looks like a sharp shinned hawk, perhaps, even though his back is to me. The tail feathers go straight across.<br /><br />Thanks for those cool seed links!Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-60742274543692327752011-01-17T08:42:19.023-05:002011-01-17T08:42:19.023-05:00I'm sorry you've had to go through this.

It's better out than in. I hope Dave is home soon and his treatments progress well.

I recall getting VERY angry about the lack of care my husband received ( for a non-life threatening but very painful problem) awhile back. He was in extreme pain and the staff wanted me to take him home. My husband could not move... or get into the car. I discovered I could be a real grizzly bear when I needed to,and if ever needed again that grizzly will emerge! It sounds like your grizzly is ever ready too, and Dave is the better for it. Prayers for you both.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-39498578553190674862011-01-16T03:27:47.235-05:002011-01-16T03:27:47.235-05:00Ohhh Sandra, I wish I could help you in some way! ...Ohhh Sandra, I wish I could help you in some way!

Secondly, it's hard for us to watch our loved ones uncomfortable or hurting because of someone else's incompetence or lack of compassion. You're right; they have those jobs because of the patients they are supposed to serve. I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with all this at such a difficult time. I've found that the 'sqeaky wheel gets the oil', so, squeak girl, sqeak! I'm thankful for those that step up and help you; they are a light in a dark place! There are many out here who love you and are praying for you, sister in Christ. Keep on following that carrot!<br />Hugs, DebDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-89420222658632253282011-01-15T20:27:30.342-05:002011-01-15T20:27:30.342-05:00Dear Sandra, I truly am sorry for what Dave is end...Dear Sandra, I truly am sorry for what Dave is enduring and for the frustration and lack of respect you are receiving. This exact same thing happened with me when my dad was hospitalized at St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta. I am very quiet/bashful but I was so sure I was right that I demanded to be taken to THE person in charge...I screamed, I cried, and I finally got what my Daddy deserved. I pray very earnestly that Dave's meds will begin to heal the pneumonia. I pray that the Lord will lead you to the right contacts to make sure that Dave gets the care he deserves. I pray that God will cradle you in His arms and give you the peace and strength that only He can. So many are praying and so many of us care deeply.

I am glad you have the hope of being home in three weeks, looking at the catalogues in your own place. And your husband recovering in his own bed. <br /><br />I am sorry for the crummy grouchy care you are receiving and glad for the ones you mentioned that have been wonderful.<br /><br />Your honesty is wonderful. I like it.<br /><br />The Lord keeps bringing you to mind and I keep praying.<br /><br />Fondly,<br />GlendaGLENDA CHILDERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413897395818998532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-42867496339421851962011-01-15T18:15:43.695-05:002011-01-15T18:15:43.695-05:00God has blessed Dave with a wonderful wife and adv...God has blessed Dave with a wonderful wife and advocate. Having spent far too much time in Virginia and other hospitals, mostly as an advocate, I can say that I don't know how the lone patient survives. Agreed, there are many wonderful, caring, giving medical people, but so easily the lone patient "falls thru the cracks."<br /><br />Sandra, you 2 are still in my prayers. May God give you an extra measure of strength and peace and grace for the hour.

I know you will come out of this as pure gold, as with any trial God takes us to the end of ourselves and as John Bunyan said, " I am on the bottom and it is firm." I wish so much I could be there to help. I hope your rest is sweet and I will pray for that. I will be praying for Dave and for the <br />fever to go away.<br />I will continue to keep you before the throne and pray that soon you will be reading your seed catalogs dreaming of spring in front of your own fire. <br />Blessings to you my friend.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-87146835497666716512011-01-15T16:52:58.839-05:002011-01-15T16:52:58.839-05:00It doesn't seem fair to have to deal with all ...It doesn't seem fair to have to deal with all that hassle and worry when you are already fighting an illness, does it?
