Be thankful for your health

Imagine having to spend the holidays in the hospital. I feel for these patients that had to spend their Christmas in the hospital and all they wanted was to be home with their loved ones. Patients are understanding on why they can't go home but yet are still sad they didn't get to spend their Christmas with their families. Although a lot their families made it the best they could for them but a lot of my patients said that it just wasn't the same. One of my patients said that she had decorated her house and doesn't even remember what it looked like because she has been in the hospital for so long. Then I had the patients with the family that have the family that are at their bedside day in and day out holding their hands while their loved one doesn't even recognize them. I am scared for when that day comes because dementia and alzheimerz runs in my family and I just don't want my husband or my brothers having to deal with that. I decided that if that day comes I just want to be drugged to where I am sleeping all the time so I don't become combative and mean to the nursing staff or my family that I care for. Those are my thoughts for the day. I will have pictures of Prestons baptism tomorrow.
