SELF-ISOLATION, DAY 18
SELF-ISOLATION, DAY 18
I should have started earlier today. I’m very tired now. My dog had her Vet visit and had blood drawn and I won’t know for a week what the results are. So, frustrating.
So, work was very busy. The store was not very busy but more people have called out, “self-quarantining” it’s called. Can’t blame people in a way, although, as I have said, if I decide to stay home for 1 week or 2 weeks, to avoid contact, even though I feel well, then others have to do my job. Sure, there is a conflict. And evidently the Pres. Said that people should wear face-coverings while out, or working I presume, but I would like to know where the hell they are? Sorry, I said I am tired. The two guys I sometimes worked with unloading trucks in the evening, I believe they both quit. I worked with 2 college kids and an assistant manager tonight. I don’t have to, but it would be like just leaving them in the lurch. Not right; to me anyway.
Well, I am really beat. I will be ok. I just need sleep. I am not sure why I keep writing this but I just do. It is a really unusual time. Hang in there everyone.

Just a word about my blog, “Docrambo”. It sounds weird to me and when I told a friend in one of the volunteer organizations in which I participate, she gave me a gentle smile. I think it meant “sounds funny but I think you are a nice person anyway.” It is ok. The name was a nickname I acquired while working at the Great Lakes Naval Base in North Chicago, IL. A navy hospital corpsman worked with me in the Pediatric Clinic. He was a bodybuilder and saw that I had some small hand-weights under my desk, which I used at lunch time to keep myself toned. I am anything but a Rambo-type of a guy, but we joked about it. He gave me the nickname.
I have been writing things since I was 15 years-old. I am a retired pediatrician. These are my ideas, experiences and feelings from all those years. They are about being a pediatrician, a doctor, and also about being a father, a spouse, and just a human being. -
