Dear bros,
I will be taking a break as i just had a bereavement this evening of a relative. She struggled with coma and has been in ICU since July 2nd and just passed on. Her sons were unable to afford further the hospital bills and she face having to have her leg amputated to try to save her from the flesh eating bacteria that she somehow contracted after cutting her leg on something at her void deck.
The doctors informed the family that even if she were to go for amputation, there is no guarantee that she will recover given the late stage that she was in before she went to the doctors.
Even though both she and my mother were not directly related by blood, they were the very best of friends from young. My mother just lost her best friend.
Please take care of the elderly around you, if they fall down and break a pelvic bone or if they cut themselves on the foot and they have diabetes, it can be fatal. Got a lot of pressure this week from work, family and new opportunities.
Though things are starting to look ok but work wise when i informed my boss of my aunts ICU earlier last week, he pretended not to know/care and later called me on the phone telling me he only cared about results and nothing else. Same thing when one of my kids was in hospital, told me kids will recover, just let them be in the hospital.
Have we all become machines sometimes or perhaps some bosses relatives are all immortal. I haven't taken MC for the past 5 years or a single day off yet this year but when just now i told him i will take half day leave tomorrow and he said ok, yet very next minute bombarded me with questions on other things. Sometimes this type of hardship that people push upon others is really not required.
