05/February/2015, Day 036. Thursday.
Oh man, what a day!
First of all, if you've been reading our posts, you know that Old Grump has been suffering with a mserable cough since last Sunday. Sweetie has been ill too. They both went for doctor's appointments on Tuesday, from which they received prescriptions for fighting whatever crud it is that is ailing them. Then yesterday Sweetie's arm began to feel sore.
What happened is that by Wednesday night Sweetie's arm hurt so much she could hardly move, and she spent most of the night either wailing in bed, tossing and turning, or sitting up in the TV room while Lola helped her watch Dodong.
This morning she was in dreadful shape; it was obvious she would NOT be able to drive Kuya to school. Grump immediately scheduled her another doctor's appointment, but the earliest one he could get was at 11:00 am. Since he had to drop Kuya off at school at 8:00 am, take Sweetie to her appointment later in the morning, then pickup Kuya in the early afternoon at 2:30 pm, he went ahead and called his boss, asking for one day of unplanned vacation. (Poor Grump is using lots of vacation time on doctor's visits recently!)
That was our exciting day! Oh, and Grump was feeling that great himself. After dropping Kuya off at school, he crawled back into bed and slept for a couple hours.
While it's miserable that we have these stupid colds and viruses circulating amongst us, we are still very, very grateful that our problems are so tiny and trivial compared to what some unlucky folks have to go through. So our prayer for tonight is one of thanks to God, that He has given us the basically good health we all have, and that he help us cope with these minor irritants he afflicts us with, while at the same time He shows mercy to those who are suffering greatly, and removes their burdens.
