Whew! I do not wish a week like this on my worst enemy. But truthfully, I recognize how blessed I truly am. I spent the first half of the week leaving WTF and getting dumped by Club Obsessions (the management changed and they tried to short change the ISH out of me). The second half was spent at the hospital with my baby brother whom was suffering from horrible knee problems. At first we thought he had a sprain, then it progressed and we thought it may be infected, then it progressed and we thought he had blood problems, and now, we're just mystified and waiting on bone marrow and DNA tests to let us know whether he has an Auto Immune Deficiency or virus. It's scary not knowing what's wrong. I'm praying that the doctors don't know and are just trying to stick us for our paper - a much better prospect then knowing my baby brother may have a horrible ailment he'll have to live with for the rest of his life. That - I don't want to accept and I thank God that my momma is such a great healer and will set him right NO MATTER the ailment the doctors want to put on him. I had a new found respect for nurses and doctors though, I must say. It was the BEST hospital visit I've experienced. Emory Children's Hospital is filled with caring and capable staff. I almost felt like I was in a resort (minus the stress, machines beeping, brother crying, physical therapy, and lack of beach). They had a garden, a library, a game room, and the cafeteria had good home-style food and healthy choices. For that, I am going to give blood today. For any one that knows me, I'm a sucker and don't do too well in situations in which I know people are in pain and hurt. So, although I want to dedicate some time to the hospital, I'm going to start by giving blood, and then volunteering once a month at the media center. I wish I had a fairy princess outfit and cute high pitched voice, cause I'd go in there with a magic wand and throw pixie dust around for all the kids (scratching my chin with pondering look in my face). I may just have to do that...
Now everything ain't all bad. I now have a manager. Chris Joseph is now representing me. I believe this will be a great marriage and I'm excited as to how we will move forward. I need somebody that not only has the almighty dollar in sight, but is willing to develop me. I mean REALLY develop me appropriately. I'll let you know how that goes.
Off to give blood! You should too!!!
