Hello Zman and can i say first off , how absolutely wonderful it is to read your blog It is brilliant --well done Yes indeed , stress is a very big contributor to both physical and mental illness --and to be fair , for most people in today's fast paced world, it is extremely hard to avoid stress I myself am guilty of this --after coming home from a shift at the hospital , and sometimes worrying about a particular patient / or work that i have to do tomorrow ! But ,i just say to myself ,, i have left the hospital now --i have done the very best i can for my patients that day --i can do no more . A very good piece of advice for everyone is is take one day at a time --focus on one day --tomorrow will take care of itself
that is marvellous Daniel , i'm sure you are all very proud of her it sure is handy to have medical experience --especially in times when family illness occurs . I am the only person in my family in the nursing profession -so everyone calls me for advice too Nurses are nurses 24/ 7 --and we wouldn't want it any other way
So , your sister is a nurse , that's wonderful Daniel! It is lovely to have a family member in the nursing profession --someone to ask advice re medical matters i'm sure your sister's advice and support was invaluable during your aunt's illness
Daniel ,you're very kind ,,, it is an honor and privelege to work with terminally ill patients and their families -absolutely no thanks are ever necessary --for us as nurses , our ultimate goal is to ease their symptoms , keep the patient painfree , and to maintain their dignity right to the end . My deepest condolences Daniel
there are several people i miss on the blogs .... i miss all the banter , chat , and interaction we used to have - it is a shame that daily bond is gone now-- but it sure was good while it lasted and i will always fondly remember , those on the blogs ,who i miss so very much and i will be forever thankful we touched each other's lives
Hello Daniel , yes , i too remember your blog a while back about your aunt , and i left a comment on it , as i have been nursing terminally ill patients for many years - Your blog was so lovely , dedicated to your aunt that you obviously were so very fond of ... She is a peace now ...
i am so sorry for your loss , my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this sad time . Take good care --Serenity
Good morning Mike how are you ? i watched your video clip ,,he's taking way too long with that shave ! i'd have 3 men shaved by the time he has that 1 done !! plus , i don't sing when i am shaving - one has to concentrate on what one is doing - so as not to cause wee nicks in the skin !
HiCatfoot , i hope you are well today ? Wonderful romantic story ! one that highlights one of the true qualities of "real " love , in that , you always try to put the other first selfless acts of kindness like the one in your story , show pure and precious love shared by two A lovely story ... thanks for sharing it with us
Good morning Non i hope you're doing ok ,, and seeing abit of light at the end of the tunnel now after your move --are you doing ok ? paradox has me stumped all i can say is after many years of shaving my male patients ,i am truly an EXPERT shaving " Barber" lol !!

hi anisiltir a similar situation happened to me once 2 years ago it was horrible ,and so very hurtful . and i totally agree , it is very selfish for someone to do this to another everyone in this world deserves basic human respect and good manners - if a person feels the need to end a relationship , the very least they can do is show decency and inform the person --and not just disappear , leaving so much hurt and unanswered questions --wondering what on earth happened ! Cruel thing to do to anyone
yip , ready as i'll ever be --that "god loves a tryer " phrase applies to me too for 2moro ! i've nothing to loose i guess , so i better give it a chance :-) as regards you , well you're no fool ! and you are indeed loved around these parts by those of us lucky to know you
thankyou Non Twas " special " for me too Strawberries ! i think that's the perfume off my shower gel --but my kiss is sweet too you're a lucky boy getting loads of paddy's weekend kisses
RE: Forget about it.
yes Zman , it sure does --there's no getting away from that --but stress can be managedhow are you keeping ?
