A comedy of errors!

If I wasn't laughing so hard I'd be crying right now.

Mum came home from hospital on Wednesday and is definitely on the improve. If she can nag me then she must be getting better. The hospital visit itself was a bit of a balls-up, from the emergency room doctor canulating and taking blood without wearing gloves (who wants to share their blood borne diseases with him?), to the nurse wanting to remove my mother's catheter (only 1 hitch: SHE DIDN'T HAVE ONE!), to the doctor who wrote up another patient's medications on my Mum's medication chart (can anyone say lawsuit?). I think we were both pleased that she was outta there!

I spent much of Wednesday looking forward to my brother coming down from Queensland to help look after Mum. When he turned up on the doorstep on Wednesday he took me aside and asked for some medical advice. Turns out a friend staying with him this week has discovered that he has shingles and then my brother showed me some spots that had come out on his chest and face. He had chicken pox!!!! Totally unrelated to his friend getting shingles though!

So in the house I had my immunocomprimised mother who is recovering from a secondary viral infection with kidney involvement, and a 22 year old with chicken pox!!! NIGHTMARE!

Does the nursing ever stop?

So glad I'll be going back home to Vanners tomorrow!

Wow! you have been really, really busy. Glad to see your Mum is doing better though. It sounds like you will be due for a much deserved vacation after all of that!

OMG!!! That is a terrible saga you had to go through. And as you said, it is pretty funny if not for the seriousness of it all!!!
Down from QLD, are you enjoying the warm weather we are having here in Sydney at the moment??

Here from Michele's this morning!

Hello, Michele sent me! Chicken pox in your twenties is not fun - I got it 2 years ago and it was the most miserable experience of my life - they were in my throat, so I couldn't even eat!
I hope you manage to stay healthy in the midst of it all... :)

Goodness that is a run of bad luck! I'm glad to see that our mom is getting better. Hope your brother doesn't suffer too badly!

Michele sent me to say that I hope your mum gets better --- and that the combination of depressed immune system and chickenpox doesn't proceed in the obviously scary direction!

It can't get worse than this! Good
luck to you for looking after them.

Nagging moms are any day better! That shows they are recovering.

Michele sent me her to sympathise with you.

It's a damn good thing for your Mom that you're a nurse, Yaeli. And did I mention adorable? :-)

 
At 1:39 AM, Blogger Michele said...

Stopping by to say hello....

What a wonderful daughter and sister you are. Can I join your family? Really, I need you in my corner should I get ill or need someone to nag. (wink)

Make certain to also take care of YOU. Please! Okay?

Thank you Yaeli, so very much, for all of you support and kind words last weekend during my not-too-pleasant "John" moments. I truly do appreciate it.

Now, I am off to add you to my blogroll. Please, when you get a free moment, can you explain to me why the hell you were not there?

Wow, if it's not one thing it's another! good thing you are trained in there field... who knows what might have happened!

Michele sent me to count my blessings...

well, being a mom, I must say..."no, the nursing never stops"! That is a mother's instinct to care for her offspring. We also tend to the ill & weary, even though we might not want to.

Hang in there & God bless!

OMG, that's horrible. I really hope your Mom's okay, and that your brother was able to find another place to stay.

What's the chances. Very bad timing.

Hope all is well with YOU.

I thought the idea of taking mum home to Oz was to get "professional" healthcare? Hope she's feeling better now.

Here from Michele.

Yes, overwhelming! Sending good thoughts your way!!!

Woah it's been a long time since i've been here! I hope your mum is alright!

I'm gonna have to read some more back posts ;) And i love the nickname for "Vanuatu" - vanners...hahaha!!

By the way, you are TAGGED! When you get time and a fast internet connection of course ;)

Hi Yaeli. Thought I'd pop in and see how you're doing. It's been a while since you posted, so I'm hoping things are well with you, your mom, your fam.

Hope you'll drop in for a visit when you can. Be well, my friend.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

I am the sort of guy who enjoys to seek revolutionary stuff. Presently I'm fabricating my own photovoltaic panels. I am managing it all by myself without the aid of my men. I'm using the internet as the only path to acheive this. I discovered a very awesome website which explains how to build pv panels and so on. The site explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I am not really sure about how accurate the info given there iz. If some people over here who had xp with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the page it would be awesome and I would highly value it, because I truly lav [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].

Thanks for reading this. U people are great.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It gets down to select a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
