Health Issues
Oh, boy. Maybe it's just me being needlessly paranoid. But it seems like everybody I know these days is coming down with some sickness or ailment.
Three days ago, my mother went to the doctor for a checkup to make sure she was progressing from last year's hysterectomy. She is, but now there's a new problem. She's been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It's still in the early stages, but that's not good news at all. It explains the pain and aching in her joints lately when she climbs the stairs or gets out of bed in the morning.
On the same day, my dad fell halfway down our garage ladder while trimming the hedges. No broken bones, but he developed a really bad sore throat from it. For a while, he was actually wondered if it was tonsillitis, which is a rarity among adults, but as it turned out, it was a case of his glands becoming swollen from the fall. Thankfully, his ailment seems to be improving with time.
At work today, one of our managers started having chest pains about two hours into the mid-afternoon rush. We made him leave the backbar and sit down inside the office to rest. Chest pains are not something to mess around with. Nevertheless, he was soon back working register and backbar. None of my tries to make him slow down were successful, so I settled for keeping a close eye on him. Sigh. I hope he'll be okay tomorrow...
Also at work, Jamie, a fellow employee, had to leave around noon with her mom to see her doctor. Apparantly, she has a problem with her knee as a result of a skating accident, or so I heard. Coupled with the fact that she came in looking and sounding like she hadn't slept a wink, I'm amazed she came back just as my shift finished.
And just recently, I found out that one of my friends at church has been diagnosed with leukemia. He'd gone on a mission trip to Alaska, but had to come home when he became sick. Leukemia claimed the life of another one of my close friends from church two years ago, so it's hard to see this happening again to another friend.
So anyway, it's safe to say my prayer list is pretty full right now. Please remember them. Also continue to keep Taylor and his family in your prayers. Thank you so much.
