Holidays

Hope everyone is doing OK these days.  Seems most people are on holidays 🙂  I give thoughts to those who aren’t as the year comes to an end many still have to work to provide for their families and pay for life’s existence. Holiday time gainfully employs many, just take the time and think. All that extra shopping and that trip to wherever you go, It is providing employment. Yes I know it sounds weird, but not all can afford holidays. I am currently working, but I do get the public holidays off. I dream that one day I will be in a position to have a break.  Hey, maybe next year.  Not that far away now. A whole new decade will be upon us.  I am not even daring to think what is install.  No new years resolutions, as in one form or another it will only inspire disappointment.

On a good note Christmas was awesome!  Had a great time with the company of both my sons for half a day and a night.  Far more than I could have hoped for.  Mind you two days after Christmas something weird happened to Son2, his arm swelled up for no apparent reason but doctors weren’t alarmed, just an infection and put a cannula in his other arm and gave him doses of antibiotics intravenously every 12 hours.  Shame that he wasn’t allowed to work though as he only get 16 hours a week and his biggest shift is 6 hours and they sent him home as they wouldn’t let him work. He was very disappointed as it was bandaged safely and he could still work as he feels ok, just a swollen arm. His employers really don’t know, but to him that is nothing in his life as to what goes on internally.  Just that they could physically see something as he had a bandage on. It was a blow to his self-confidence and his pocket. He asked the doctor about it last night and the doctor took it out and now he is just on tablets, but if it starts to swell again to come back as heavy antibiotics might be required to fix the problem.  Having no autoimmune system plays havoc with this sort of problem.
