I had an interesting conversation with a colleague lastnight...

I had gone to work after having a nap. I had gone to the dr's and I was right I had another Urinary Tract Infection. I got to work and I was doing fine, but I could feel a fever coming on and general malaise. I finished my shift and spoke with my manager and told her that I just didn't think I could come in today. turned out it was a great idea as I had been up several times in the night to the bathroom so I didn't get a lot of sleep.


My colleague asked me how do I do it? I come to work (Nygard Fashions) and work hard and then go home. I also am involved in my community work (Alberta Ave Community League, Safe Streets, Alberta Avenue Revitalization, EFCL Planning and Development Committee) as well. Sometimes I wonder but I came across a blog today that may have well given me the reason as to why; Angie's blog on the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Angie also has a blog here as well. I have to say thank goodness for the internet. Sometimes I feel as if I am way over my head on all of this.

Sometimes it feels as if I am running her there and everywhere just putting out fires. the Alberta Health Care System is in crisis, which is difficult for a patient who is dealing with one health issue after another. I seem to be dealing with one health crisis after another and unable to see the doctors that I should be seeing. It can be very daunting and scary at the same time.
