2:30 PM

Had so much 2 b do these days.. was helping out my friends. I have a friend who has renal failure n needs 2 do dialysis 3x a wk. She developed complications from cellulitis - necrotic fascilitis. A flesh eating bacteria.. sounds terrible. But was well enough 4 discharge on tues. She has probs walking long distances n seeing near objects. financial probs as well. It's real terrible 2 b sick. I can see e helplessness in patients' eyes when i work. But i can't spend much time with every patient cos got so many things 2 do. I know my presence with them can ease their anxiety n loneliness. but.. Hmm.. i wonder when nurses can actually getaway with e paperwork n admin stuff 2 give patients more quality care.

Was preparing for sun sch this wk. had so many ideas but dun know which one 2 choose 4 my dear kids. i want the best for them. Best is they get interested in e activity, have fun n learn sth from it. Have decided on which commitments 2 take up in church next yr. n i believe these are wat God wants me 2 do. Shall cont teaching e kids in sun sch n flower arrangement. Such a pity i cant be in e church choir anymore. i want to, but i can't take up tat commitment cos of my shift work. Trust n obey.

Had 2 off days n i'm going back 2 work 2day. n it's my first night shift as a qualified nurse. a little jittery n worried. guess it's only normal.

Everybody's getting sick around me. n i'm having a sore throat when intense choir pracs r going on! pls do take care, esp those mugging. :) Stress does decrease immunity n therefore make us more vulnerable to diseases. Scientifically proven. do take rest n relax bet. mugging sessions.
