Fear of Falling Ill
It's true, we don't give our health a second thought until it is taken away. We instinctively fear sickness and shrink away from others who are ill. With the news of the spreading COVID19 virus dominating the news, everyone in the world has been shocked into examining their health and taking sensible precautions to guard it against attack. The virus and spreading epidemic is an attack and it is clear people are responding to the threat by retreating, isolating themselves for protection, and stockpiling resources to ride it out. I only hope that in our efforts to keep ourselves safe we don't totally turn our backs on others...the ones with no family, no help, few resources.
Book Excerpt
False Gods: The Show Jumper's Challenge
The nurse stopped by a curtain pulled closed on its ringed track. She touched Cory lightly on the upper arm. “Remember, visiting hours are over in twenty minutes, dear.” She drew the curtain back a few inches and retreated to the nursing station.
Cory stood outside the small, enclosed area, her heart thumping against her chest. Just the edge of the large hospital bed and a big machine with digital numbers and hoses were visible. She drew a deep breath and stepped inside.
Jess was a tiny mound in the huge bed, covered by a thin white blanket. A transparent hose ran across her chest and up into her nose. Tubes were taped to her arms and another to the back of her hand. She looked like she was asleep.
