Hospital Sitting

There's nothing quite like sitting next to a hospital bed. The person you are visiting often can't get involved in a conversation; there is always other noise around you; and the nurses keep coming in.
But for all that,  most of us know that this is where you need to be.
This week I feel like I have spent so much time in hospital just sitting. So much work is waiting for my attention and has been neglected. There are so many things I could have been doing.
And none of that matters.
This is where I need to be.

More sitting

I'm once again sitting in the emergency room of our local hospital in the wee hours of the morning waiting for my darling wife to see a doctor. The real disappointment here it's that she had been home from hospital for around 13 hours before we needed to come back.
Am I really disappointed though? Not really. 
Around the world there are millions of people who cannot get the medical attention we will receive.
So we might be tired (exhausted actually) but still glad to be here.
