A New Year 2022 Letter: In Hospital For Covid-19 - Well Today - CYLin

Dear Lin,
I suggested that you took a rest but instead you wrote from your heart. 
Although you still experience much discomfort and pain your act of kindness to pen this New Year message reveals your kindnessThank you.

Hi Andy, 

A hearty congratulation on achieving the blog with the National Archives - no easy task.  Yours was a labour of love and passion.

Is it really 2022 already?  Where did the past year go?  I've been very quiet since August 2021 - hospitalised for various health issues including Covid-19, which I caught while in the ward.  Was discharged after 28 days of swabbing to prove that I'm cleared.  I would be free from this virus for quite a while but now there is the Omicron to worry about.

Dedicated nurses who are understanding and 
kind to the patients they look after.

While in the ward I watched how harrassed the nurses were attending to the many elderly (slightly demented), forever calling out to go to the toilet and wanting to sit up but when the nurse came they changed their minds.  When advised to just stay in bed while the nurse went to attend to someone else, some tried to get out on their own!  Not a harsh word to reprimand from the nurse.

2022 - Song: 'Till the storm passes by'

Yes, Andy, song: 'Enjoy yourself' (Doris Day).

Letter sent by: CY Lin.

I would advise readers who have not had their vaccination to go for it. You never know what creatures still lurk up there in the mist, until the storm passes...

Sounds like a rough 2021! Glad that you're well now CY:) wishing you good health as we enter 2022. Also thank you for sharing that bit of insider info of what goes on inside the hospital during these trying times, the amount of love and patience doctors and nurses have as they care for the sick is amazing. They are truly heroes!

Andy
Many were unfortunate to fall victim.
Some paid with their lives.
We pray for all others for their recovery.
And the world to be rid of this pandemic.

Still believe that vaccination is currently the best safeguard against these Covid viruses.
Sorry to hear about the lady friend.
She survived the virus.
Nonetheless stay safe and take care.

Read L. message, touching just like her, feeling for others, an insider's view of goings on in the ward. God Bless her.

Be reminded that even the physically strong can succumb to the infectious virus.

The Bible gives us a warning about our spiritual state - we are not to be arrogant in our strength lest we fall. Let's not assume that salvation would bring us immunity from the earthly consequences of our own behaviour.

"So if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" [1 Corinthians 10:12]

We ask you that you save us as we seek after your truth...

[EDITED - PART OF A LONGER PRAYER]
