For her I feel so afraid

Must have been the most stressy patient ever, yes have the test no wont, finally agreed and x-ray refused wrong needle in her arm ahhhhh. 2 days of yes and no and discussion. Doc said he had had 5 years of it, I admire his patience. Everything a worry to her, how do people live like it, she said everything goes wrong for her but she makes people so nervous around her no wonder. A nice person really but there really is no time in public hospitals for extensive counseling or in life for a total guarantee of safety in everything. Walking down the street has risks. Finally had the tests and pretty good, a bit of pneumonia. Survived the test (I hope). I thanked the husband for supporting the both of us, I was as worried as she was.
Other girl not so good looked very sick to me had this new (to us) treatment high flow nasal O2 very good really. ICU guy says we used to have to watch them deteriorate till they needed ventilation but this treatment means they can avoid ventilation sometimes. Of course if you keep it on, very agitated girl, ?unwell ?personality whichever, she'd settle then get restless. Supposed to move to HDU high dependency unit but they decided no then they were moving her to birthing unit, they look after sick girls. So off she went. I hope she is ok, someone mentioned swine flu forgot about that hope it isnt that.
Do you get too old for this stress I am thinking. The main think I find I dont know my way around the treatment or the tests or the doctors. Have to get a password for patients results on line.
Ok 5 days before I go back. Played  tennis today and I'm sore. Its rest day on the Tour tonight so we will just watch the highlights we and the boys need a rest.
