Hard Times

I have had some really emotional times in the past couple of weeks..both at work and on the personal front...At work, my co worker has changed 3 times since October...my first co worker, who I wasn't sad to see move on, is now back again..can I tell you I really didn't miss her over the past few month...when she left I worked with 2 other PA's both men...let me tell you ...they did their work and let me a lone and left when the work was completed...they didn't want to talk much ...which was fine by me...this gal is opinionated;critical; talks too much and is driving me nuts... I am really finding it hard to get re acclamated to her again...I have to learn all over again how to ignore her...any tips...all are welcomed
On the personal front...I know I have mentioned my friend with transverse myelitis...well she had been in and out and back in the hospital again...all the mobility and sensation she has gained is gone 100 fold....she was first admitted with hypothermia, hyponatremia, hypotension and bradycardia...she ended up with SIADH...now as a pacer...was discharged and not even home a week and back in with hypernatremia...and now she is completely paralyzed (quad) with dysphagia, inability to speak and respiratory decompensation...what the hell is going on .....why can't anyone help her...she is now going to need a feeding tube because she can't swallow...anyone out there have any thoughts...from what I know her neurologist is going to try some type of chemo(cytoxin?) agent to boost her immune system however one of the side effects is leukopenia which she already has...I feel so helpless...know all that I know and I can't even help her...I think of her day and night...I wake up and she is my first thought...if anyone has experience with any patient that has had similar symptoms...please email me....would love to hear how it all worked out for them...in the meantime...prayers...
