Sad But True

Hi,

So I thinking, how lapse I was by not posting for a few days, now it's been a few more days !! Sorry about that - if anybody is reading.... "Hello, how you doing ?"

Ok, so today is Saturday & I've just spent another couple days in my 2nd home - the hospital. I go there very now & again... I flaked out on Thursday & have been allowed home for the weekend on orders to rest. So I guess typing my blog is kind of restful ? Whatever.....

So, why 'Sad But True'.... 2 reasons. I was in bed, in the hospital and the guy next to me - well, he died. Honestly, he had been poorly all night and was breathing quite heavily, then he stopped as I was listening to him.......... it was like the World was switched off, for a second - all I could hear was silence. I had been so intent, listening to him - then he stopped & was dead. I called a nurse over, but it was too late, he was gone.... He had been sleeping, so it was very peaceful for him.... Hopefully our Lord will take good care of him, bless him.

The other reason - a guy - 18 years old - came in after an OD of some so called 'recreational' drugs. His Mum was with him, but he wouldn't of known - he was completely out of it. He was basically a cabbage !! It was possible he wasn't going to make it - he could die/my have died - but, there he was, to look at him, not a care in the world, while around him his Mum was crying her eyes out & the Dr's were trying their best to pull him thru'.

I know I'm poorly - but, it has made me realise how lucky I am. I may not have the greatest of health, but I hang in there as best I can...... got my family to support me & my music to listen to.

At the moment, Eric Clapton is playing... kind of quiet for me I know, but.... well, I need the rest !

Anyhoo - I must away..... Keep it together people, life IS too short.
