Once again I got caught up in the unexpected nature of life! I came down with a bad Sinus Infection in January. I finally gave in and went to a Doctor. I was given 10 days worth of a powerful antibiotic. The Antibiotic killed the infection, killed all the necessary "Good" bacteria in my body and then started in on me!!!!! On January 31 I ended up in the Emergency Room of a Hospital. Four days later, as I was being released, the Doctor told me that had I not gotten to him when I did I might be dead!!!!!!! Talk about an attention grabber!!!!! Here it is Feb. 27 and I still can't stand for more than a few minutes without getting fatigued, I can't drive, I have to stay away from people as my immune system is somewhere in deep South Texas (I live in the Hill Country in Central Texas!), and this morning was my first Sunday back in my Pulpit since mid-January!!!! I preached while sitting on a stool! What has this to do with Snakes????? My illness and subsequent recovery meant that my collection had to fend for itself!!!!! My Household consists of a 13 year-old, low functioning, Autistic son and a wife that won't venture into my snake room because she "hates" snakes. Because I didn't have a plan for the possibility of being incapacitated, my snakes suffered and three paid the highest price for my negligence. We have a responsibility to our charges. In the days to come I am going to identify two, maybe three, individuals to train that could step in and take care of my collection in the event of an emergency. And I'm going to be more active in offering my help to others. It's the best I can do.

Shalom,
Pat
 
Thats a good idea

I'm lucky in that my wife is interested in the snakes also. It's a good idea to have someone ready in case of emergencies. Glad you are feeling better. That must have been a terrible experience.
 
Shalom, Pat it's good to hear you are at least on the mend, my thoughts for healing are with you. Hubby got sick towards the end of December, couldn't go back to work until the begining of Jan. an that was with him sleeping most of the time he was home. It was very scarey and he wasn't as sick as you. He just now is feeling himself. susan
 
My very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery are being sent your way!

Thankfully my Hubby, Son and Daughter will all step in and help care for my collection, all be it a small one, whenever I am incapable (I have back problems).

I do think it's a good thing that you have posted your experience, as there may be others out there who have not thought of the consequences if they were to become incapacitated, so thank you for sharing your story!

Best wishes,
