Being at the Hospital Makes Me Feel Weak

It had been days that I have to pitch in on accompanying my sick sister in the hospital. She was confined several times after she got that third stroke!
First it was the stroke and she was confined for a week; followed by another week when she got pneumonia; and last week for urinary track infection.
My sisters and I have to spare some of our time there, although we had hired two special duty nurses on a 12-hours shift to attend to the needs of my sick sister. Her left side of the body was affected so she could not move to her side or sit.
Every time that I was there for a whole day, I felt so weak too. I thought I might inhaled some viruses or bacteria from there though I often wear face mask for protection. Or maybe it is the negative vibrations in there that strike me.

She is 66. And she should have been enjoying her retirement.

@fluffy69 I don't know, but she's not so fat, and she was very conscious of her health too. Maybe she got confident that she won't have a stroke. But I presumed it could be due to stress caused by her former work.

@acelawrites I hope she can recover fast, since she's still young, I suppose.

Stress really can weaken us. Yes, we will all be happy once she gets well and be able to walk again.

Thank you! The doctors said she will be discharged by tomorrow because the antibiotics will be complete by then.

It is her who is paying for the nurses; from her savings when she was still working. Too sad she should be traveling around the world but she was incapacitated by that stroke.

Me too, staying in hospital makes me sick. My most hated place including jail.

I agree, it brings negative vibrations which we can absorb.

I suspect its psychological that you feel that way. I think hospital can have a very negative effect on you especially if you are with a patient. It makes your mind think of so many things that at times you feel sickly as well because of that. I hope you are already out of the hospital since that place is really very depressing place to be in.

I can not avoid going there because someone from the family (siblings) should be there to see if there's something needed to decide on. So we take turns in accompanying our sister if we could afford to allot some time there.

The reason why we should always take good care of our health.

It is true, so I make sure to take Vitamin C and lots of water for prevention.
