You've earned it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692461 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:02:34 +0000 Debbie 692461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you have a better week.

I know it stinks to have all this in a "vacation" time but honestly I'm glad it was while you were away from work so you could be there and handle everything. And you are a wonderful lady to be there for your friend, MIL, and family when they need you. I hope next week is a breeze! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692411 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 02:45:23 +0000 Sylvie 692411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I am so sorry to hear about your terrible week!

Well I hope this week is much, much better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692358 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 01:21:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 692358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind thoughts and warm wishes. Not really sure why I shared the details of my week, but it just felt therapeutic to do so, you know/</p> <p>You're all sweetheart - and VC, I'll take you up on the chicken soup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692354 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 01:16:55 +0000 velvetychocolate 692354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes Shannon - it really does sound like really bad few days. If I could, I'd send over some nice meals that would make you feel cared for and nourished - without having to cook or fuss for dinner. </p> <p>I really hope you feel better soon, and same for your son and husband ...most importantly - your best friend. That must have been a horrible thing for her to have to deal with. </p> <p>Gee whiz - when it rains, it really does pour sometimes, doesn't it? Homemade chicken soup for you, your DS, your DH and your BFF. Yes, I know it's summer, and chicken soup doesn't sound quite right, but it can be heated up in the microwave "on demand" from a giant tupperware container in the fridge. </p> <p>Be sure to up the vitamin D3, it'll really help, especially when battling some sort of infection. </p> <p>Sigh...this really does sound like the week from hell, and I really hope that things turn around soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692344 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 01:06:44 +0000 Sveta 692344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch, what a vacation week! I am happy to hear you are all on the mend: getting sick in summer is really horrible. I am also very sorry for your BFF's loss and you were a real support to her for sure.</p> <p>Here it is for a peaceful and restful week at work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692338 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 00:55:43 +0000 Deborah 692338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon what a week. And I am so sorry for your friend, what a an awful thing to have to go though. I have no doubt you were and are a great comfort to her.</p> <p>Sending you positive thoughts this week and I trust everyone is healthy and happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692336 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 00:53:45 +0000 Nadya 692336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wishing you a restful week after all of that!

What a week, Shannon! You've got me beat, for sure -- I only went to the ER once last week and only spent 7 hours!</p> <p>Hugs to you for being there for your BFF! Although it's a blessing to pass away peacefully in one's own bed, I'm sure it was hard on her and on you to be the ones on the scene in the aftermath.</p> <p>I hope you can get to bed early tonight and rest up for your upcoming normal week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692317 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 00:33:48 +0000 annagybe 692317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eee! I'm sorry, and hope for smoother sailing ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-looking-forward-to-a-normal-week#post-692314 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 00:31:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 692314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was off work this past week for vacation and it was one of the WORST weeks in a long time! (other than receiving some of my NAS goodies!)</p> <p>It started on the Saturday (Aug 4th) when my BFF phoned at 7:00 a.m. from her Dad's place (he lives 8 houses from me) with the horrific news that she had arrived to help him get ready for his day only to find him passed away in bed. She was hysterical (understandably so) and needed me to come over. I literally ran down the street in my pi's to get there and together we called 911 and handled all the horrible details of that type of situation.</p> <p>Sunday was DS's 17th birthday and that went well but later that night he began to get sick. </p> <p>Monday was a statutory holiday here and when we got up, it was clear that my son's asthma had flared up due to the vicious cold he had contracted. Plus I had the funeral for my BFF's Dad that afternoon. Hubby took son to the Emergency Department while I went to the funeral. DS was confirmed to have strep throat and is on antibiotics, as well as both his puffers for the asthma flare up.</p> <p>Tuesday, hubby gets sick with strep and Wednesday, I come down with it. And then Thursday evening, MIL gets ill. Now she's only got one and a half lungs due to lung cancer years ago where they had to remove half of her left lung. When she gets sick, it's scary. By Saturday night her breathing was quite laboured and so I took her to the Emergency Department where we stayed for 11 hours. The chest x-ray was clear but she had some wheezing so she is now on two different puffers and the same antibiotic my son is on. She's already feeling much better, thank goodness.</p> <p>In the past two nights, I have slept a total of 6.5 hours. I'm tired and trying to fight off the infection myself but relieved that everyone is ok. I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow and having something other than death and illness to think about. </p> <p>There are times when you just want to wipe a few days off the calendar... </p>
