Maybe it is just me but I have to write about this here too ( I did on my "myspace") but I need to do it again... Where should I start???

   For those of you who read my blogs or know me personally... your aware of my conditions and how often I do go to ER (this SUCKS but until my next brain surgery this is my life). 

   When I went in last time the Nurse looked at my chart, made some comment on how often I had been to ER in the last  7months and then demanded that I tell her exactly "what drug of choice was I there for this time?" She then told me if I did not tell her what they gave me normally she would not administer it for me! I did not know- it was in my chart, she had my chart.  She was unaware of my condition other than the "name" and it took an hour for a neurologist from somewhere upstairs to come down as a 'favor' to see what to do with me----By this time the nurse had me compleletly strapped down (as tight as she could with my broken collar bone side holding the brunt of the strap!) The neurologist's explained to the nurse and the ER doc that I was in more pain than probably 80% of any person that ever came through the doors of that ER!! "Oh", the nurse said "Well then, I guess I'll get her med's- she didn't know what they were called so I did not give them to her." By time I made it home my collar bone was broke again in another place... where the nurse had me strapped.

   I say all that to say this...we can grow accustomed to suffering. or we as Christians can start to weigh "suffering" just like we do sin.  Brothers and sisters this should never happen!  It is never OUR JOB to weigh ones sin in comparison with another nor is it OUR JOB to decide who is suffering more than another... those things are better left to God!  it is OUR JOB however, to be an extension of our Heavenly Father and whenever we see one suffering- to be an extension of his love (that was the whole point of him giving us our bodies  to begin with... so that we might through his Spirit be an extension in body form) and to do what can be done to ease that suffering, by whatever acts of kindness that are available to us in that moment.
