Why You Should Try a Style Sheet – Sue Archer

Style sheets are used by editors to keep a succinct list of spelling, punctuation and capitalization uses of the author’s work to reference consistency throughout the manuscript. But style sheets are also beneficial for the author to use as well.
Using a style sheet for writers allows the writer to keep a list of their own preferences, for example: a certain way they prefer a word or phrase to remain with a different spelling or any other variation or preferred use to alert the editor to.
Below is a more detailed description about the uses of a style sheet by Sue Archer.
“Your editor may have different ideas about style than you do. When you get your manuscript back, you don’t want to find out that some of your carefully capitalized words have been painstakingly lower-cased or that American spelling has been applied when most of your readers are in the UK. This will mean extra work for both you and your editor, which could result in higher fees. It pays to think up front about any preferences you may have, and call them out. . .” Continue Reading

#Health #Caregiving – And working with the #Medical System

My size 6 feet may be a lot smaller than my husband’s shoes, but I’ve been like an appendage to him since the onset of his illness, and I can safely say that I’m wearing his shoes through this journey.
Besides the fact that I am an empath – HSP personality , with a deep awareness of other people’s pain and emotions, I’m also somewhat of an investigative FBI, – not technically, but my husband often refers to me as one. It’s in my DNA to get to the bottom of the cause of every situation.
I’ve made it my business through the decades, facing illness, my own and family members’, to learn about diseases, pharmaceuticals, symptoms and cures, by reading numerous medical journals, subscriptions to health magazines, and years of discussions with my brilliant Naturopath. I have rapports with many doctors from past and present. I’m not afraid to share the things I understand with them and ask questions, and when it comes to my husband, as his advocate, I chase down doctors, get them to collaborate with one another by sharing what each of them deducted with other doctors on the case. I take him to every test, scan, and have been his full time nurse in hospital.
My knowledge, and respect for the medical care staff reward me with privileges I sometimes take liberties with, thus allowing me to follow my husband directly into procedure and operating rooms, until it’s time for them to do their job. I give them background information they may have overlooked, remind them of his allergies and medications, and kindly request that I can have a word with them after the procedure before having to wait for results.
Why do I do these things? Of course I do them to make sure my husband is getting the best care, but in today’s medical world, sometimes things can go awry.
With our health system declining from too many cutbacks, far away from what it once was, there’s a shortage of doctors, nurses and time. As a micro-manager, I like to do my best to keep on top of everything and try to get information as best I can. Backlog of patients waiting for tests, delays in receiving results, getting to some resolution of illness, can all take much longer than the ‘g-olden days’.
I’m writing this article to spread awareness. Yes, I’m also sharing some personal updates about my husband, but I feel that’s only fair to all of you readers and friends here who’ve been so supportive of me through this journey. But I’m also sharing the things I do to keep the proverbial ‘ball’ rolling in his case. These are things that some of you may not be aware of with your current health care systems, and blessed to not have to encounter them.
I see things all the time in the hospital. I observe. I see patients alone in their rooms with no visitors – sometimes all day. I see vacant halls sometimes with no nurse in sight. I hear patient’s buzzers going off and moaning for what can seem like an eternity to them before someone responds. I know when patients have been sitting in a soiled bed or diaper for a length of time because the stench through the hallways is a good indicator.
I was quite aware that I was the only one walking up and down the corridors, waiting to catch a doctor, after asking nurses approximately when he’ll visit our floor. I learned when the best times were to make requests and where to find the nurses when I had a concern. I learned how to ‘shop’ as my sister so kindly taught me while she stayed at my side.
The point I’m trying to make here is that when a loved one is ill, and/or elderly, and doesn’t understand legal jargon, and has nobody to advocate for them, they become one of many patients waiting for their turn, waiting to get fixed, waiting to go home. They are at the mercy of ‘time’ and if they know no better, just do as they’re told because that’s what they’re instructed to do, and they have no choice but to put their faith in what they’re told without questions.
We need to speak up and ask questions. We need to ask about medications and their conflictions with other meds.
We need to offer information about underlying issues that doctors may not be aware of because the patient forgot to mention or was unable to.
We need to know what to expect during the healing process.
And most of all we need to be there for compassion, support and encouragement.
I couldn’t turn off my brain on countless nights my husband was in hospital after feeling guilty leaving him late at night, knowing I had only a few short hours to sleep before getting up early to be back there by 630am. I worried he may not be able to reach the cup of water I left as close to the bed as I could without hampering his path to be able to get up with his I.V. pole and try to get to the bathroom. I worried that he may be stuck in a blood-soaked diaper for too long before someone could help him change. I worry about everything.
I know some of you may not be interested in reading long posts, nor be interested in all of the details of my husband’s illness. But for those of you who would like to follow the mystery of this journey and learn how I made my own deductions, kept on the doctors with insisting they do certain tests, and how I keep the ball rolling, you can click HERE to read more.
But for all of you, I’m making a list below of some of the methods I’ve learned to keep on top of my husband’s own medical situation, which you can take as pointers which may help you if you’re ever faced with an unfortunate illness yourself or with a loved one.
REQUESTS
Nurses are not authorized to give anything – food or medications – to a patient without the doctor’s permission.
A good example here is: When my husband was given blood transfusions, after every bag of blood, he had to have blood work done to see what number his hemoglobin was at to determine if more blood was needed. If more was needed, a whole day went by before the doctor would visit and authorize another bag. After round one of this method, I asked the nurse if she could page the doctor and have him order the blood be taken after a bag was finished, and authorize the next bag if the number wasn’t high enough, instead of waiting all day. The nurses are very accommodating when they see you are there all the time helping out, and making their job easier.
SHOPPING
Shopping in the hospital is a hunt to gather supplies the patient requires. If you learn this art, it will save you waiting to ask a nurse, and then for her/him to finally have time to get these items for you.
For example: Pillows are hard to come by in hospitals; not every bed gets one. Go for a stroll down the corridors, look for an empty room, and grab one off a bed. Then don’t forget to change the pillow case with a fresh one from a cart in the hallway.
Staples you may need can be found on various carts in the corridors. You will find wipes, masks, clean hospital gowns, towels and linens, on these carts.
Help yourself to what’s needed for the patient, without having to bother a nurse. You may have to ask for diapers, as I did, but with every nurse change, I asked for a few more and stockpiled them for when needed so I wouldn’t have to frantically look for a nurse every time we needed one.
Also, those blue paper booties come in handy for the patient. My husband’s feet were (and still are) very swollen, his slippers were tight and hard to get on and off, so he was happy to keep the booties on his feet for his mad dashes to the bathroom.
Learn where the pantry is located. There you will find things like paper cups, an ice machine, little containers of juice and jello, and gingerale. These items are there for the patients.
TIMING
Pay attention to the doctor’s usual schedule for making appearances. This is important when you are awaiting test results. The doctors usually make their rounds early in the morning. If you miss their visit, you’ll have to wait till the end of their day before they come back. This is why I was there at 630am some days when I was waiting for the previous day’s test results. The doctor usually showed up around 7am, so it was imperative I was there. If you have any other concerns and are not expecting the doctor, you can ask the nurse to send him a message.
MONITORING
Learn the standard tricks of the I.V. pole. Many times you will hear it beeping. The beep is annoying and of course, a nurse can be awhile until she can fix it. It’s an alert that possibly the I.V. line is strangled and not dripping, or that the fluid, or blood bag is empty and may need replacing. The machine will usually read out the problem. You can untangle the line, or alert the nurse that the bag has finished and clear the alert by pressing the restart button yourself.
COPIES
Are you aware that you are entitled to a copy of all tests, and reports from doctor office visits and from hospitals? I make it a point to get a copy of every report when I leave a doctor’s office and the hospitals will give you copies when a patient is released. You can then make copies of all documentation to have handy for further doctor visits to hand him in case he hasn’t received them to update him. And I’d advise that you open a file with all these records for future need.
I do the same with requisitions from doctors.
For example: When I took my husband to the lab to have more blood work done the other day, I noticed that the specialist doctor we visited prior, who ordered it, hadn’t checked off the box to ‘CC’ my husband’s regular doctor. That would mean when we go back to him in a few days, he wouldn’t have the results, which he’d have to call in for, which would leave me still not knowing what they found until a next visit. So when we got to the lab, I requested that the results also be copied to our doctor. We signed a form to authorize the information to be shared, and then I could rest assured when we went to the appointment, the doctor would have the report.
Process of Illimination
I noticed after the return home from the second hospital visit, when my husband took his pills, within 10 minutes he got very dizzy. This happened for 2 days in a row and I was concerned and didn’t want to wait the few more days until his check up appointment. I had to figure out which of the ‘new’ pills was causing it. So the next day, I told him to leave out the new stomach pill for a few hours and see how he felt, he was still dizzy.
The next day I told him not to take the diuretic for a few hours, and again, he was dizzy. I knew the culprit and it wasn’t the new meds. I went over everything in my head, and remembered in the hospital his blood pressure went to normal instead of high because of his low hemoglobin. They didn’t give him his pressure pills in hospital.
I had an inkling that he came home and began taking his pressure pills, these were bringing his pressure to low, hence, the dizziness. The next day, I stopped his pressure pills, and he didn’t get dizzy. Later that day I took him to his regular doctor for a check up and discussed my findings. He commended me on noticing and finding the problem and advised me to keep him off them until at least next check up when he’d check the blood work to make sure the hemoglobin was going up.
Now this is a commonly overlooked situation when too many doctors are prescribing. One doesn’t always keep up with what’s currently going on, and people can end up taking too much medication.
These are just a few handy tips I can offer from my own experience, which can help make it easier for both the caregiver and the patient should the situation arise. I hope you should never have to experience illness, but it helps to know the ropes.
I’d like to thank you all again for reading, and leaving me such wonderful and encouraging comments. My husband’s journey still presents quite a few mysteries, which a team of doctors and myself are working diligently to solve.
I’m attaching HERE a detailed journey of when this all began, symptoms, tests, status report, and results so far, for those who’d like to read. Sometimes an answer is not so simple. And often, when the immune system is compromised, it can set off a chain of events from underlying issues – this is especially common with senior patients.
It’s up to us as caregivers to stay on top of issues, and to be proactive in keeping the doctors updated, and requesting that information is shared with all other concerning doctors to help move the process along. Don’t be afraid to use your voice. We learn by asking questions.

16 Reasons to Read your Words Aloud. | Myths of the Mirror
One of the earliest things I learned about revising our work and editing was to read the words out loud. It may seem odd for some, but reading out loud can help find a myriad of grammatical and punctuation errors which our eyes can easily miss.
Diana over at Myths of the Mirror, has written an excellent article on the importance of reading our work aloud.
“A story has a natural cadence that arises from sentence structure, word choice, and the balance of narrative, dialog, and exposition. By reading our stories aloud, we’re able to experience that cadence the way our readers do. As part of an editing process, hearing the sounds of our words polishes our work. . .”

Learning to take our own Advice
Isn’t it always the hardest thing to do – taking our own advice?
I’m as guilty as the next guy when it comes to giving good advice to others, and not following my own advice.
When life is particularly challenging, and friends or family come to me for some encouraging words, I help them dissect their worries and find steps to a solution.
When we feel overwhelmed and bombarded by what can sometimes feel like the walls crumbling around us, it can feel similar to starting to put together a 5000 piece puzzle. I know this feeling well because I’ve been living a puzzle for quite some time now. When our world gets disrupted by unforeseen circumstances and our daily goals we’ve set to accomplish can’t be met, we need to rearrange our priorities and come up with a Plan B. But what do we do?
We start at the edges and build from there. We find a starting point.
We need to break down our concerns and ‘to do’ lists:
We need to put our worries and ‘to do’s’ on paper, because if we don’t file them somewhere, they’ll be taking up a lot of real estate in our brains.
Concentrate on the things with the highest priority.
Make a simple list of what we need to accomplish for TODAY only.
Don’t look at the whole puzzle – choose each day’s spot where we wish to begin, and where we leave off – we’ll get back to it tomorrow.
Everything doesn’t have to be finished in one day.
One day at a time is a phrase I’ve learned to believe in. I was so used to telling others not to worry about everything all at once, or pushing themselves to get everything done in a day, but I didn’t practice what I preached. I finally had to succumb to my own words.
It’s hard to change our ways, but if we can train ourselves to remember to take a breath, and make a list of just one or two things we’d like to accomplish in one day, and not focus on all the other things in our ‘to do’ pile, what we need to do tomorrow and next week, we can lessen our anxieties.
When life gets messy and we’re inundated with things to do, we can easily crack under the pressures if we’re constantly worrying about everything we haven’t accomplished. If you’re anything like me, compulsive about staying on top of everything, getting chores and daily goals checked off your list, or worrying about the backlog awaiting us from the things we didn’t get done, this can create an unhealthy state of anxiety.
Logical thinking reminds us that we have so much to do, which in turn sets off the anxiety when we know that we just can’t do it all. So, we have to formulate a plan for what we CAN get done in a day, instead of the million things we’re wishing we could wipe off our lists.
The month of March, my husband had been quite ill and he still has a ways to go. Life, as well as my writing, has been left on the back burner. I learned the ‘one day at a time’ lessons during this time.
Paying bills, cleaning my home, throwing in a load of laundry, even writing a blog post, became things that got done sporadically in between back and forth hospital visits, looking after my husband at home, taking him to doctors and tests, and most days, feeling too damned tired to even want to look at a computer.
My usual scheduling had to be altered around spare moments. The set times I had for my duties, chores and writing, were not the priority. Doing our income tax is something I abhor and like to get out of the way in March, but I have till June, so I set myself a new time-frame to get that done. My newest book awaits my revisions, but I know it will still be there when I get to it. Simple tasks that are part of our day-to-day living, such as running out to the grocery store or the like, became non-existent because I wouldn’t dare leave my husband alone. So I had to learn to work around my time constraints, and accept that I could only get done what the hours in a day would allow me.
Every day, something new crops up to add to our daily lists. But all we can do is deal with everything TODAY – one day at a time.
I’ve learned to adjust my thinking and worrying, and to modify my compulsion to complete everything I set out to do for my tomorrows. I’m one person, doing the best she can with only 24 hours in a day. So each day, I focus on my intent for the day, and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
*Next week I’ll be posting an article on health care and caregiving, and how to stay on top of things medically when you’re taking care of a sick loved one.

#Emergency Vehicles Need More Road Respect

It was a week ago this past Sunday morning that I had to call 911 for an ambulance.
I thought my husband was dead.
After a previous hospital visit and a procedure that followed in another hospital after his release, something went wrong. A few days after that procedure, my husband began to hemorrhage uncontrollably. He suddenly became a ghost shade of white and was unresponsive. He needed blood.
The paramedics arrived within a few short minutes. They were thorough, and compassionate. After clearing a path for the gurney by moving around some furniture and checking his vitals, they got him safely in the ambulance. The fear that arose inside me was insurmountable while I reflected on his ongoing illness over the past few weeks, trying to make some sense out of what on earth was going on.
Besides getting a first-hand experience at what our Canadian health system has been reduced to in the past month, I had my first experience sitting up front in an ambulance. This was certainly a different perspective for me than my own prior illnesses in the past where I was the patient in the back.
While the paramedics were taking good care of my husband, I kept my eyes focused on the road. I know this city is full of bad drivers, but I’d witnessed some particular bad drivers when it came to obeying the laws of the road when emergency vehicles are trying to pass.
I shook my head in disbelief as a few cars didn’t pull over to the right as the siren sounded and we were approaching the cars, which were slowing us down. But the most unbelievable sight was a car that pulled out from a plaza approximately 100 feet in front of us as we were nearing the plaza exit. We had to brake for him while he held up our lane. Not only did he cut us off with his turn to merge into our southbound lane, but he stopped completely, with his car sitting in a diagonal pattern, blocking our lane while waiting to fit into the left turn lane,
I couldn’t get over the fact that the ambulance couldn’t drive in a clear path, nonstop with a siren on. He had to brake at every intersection and stop sign with a loud sounding warning siren, because whether there were oncoming cars or not, he couldn’t assume that people would stop or wouldn’t try and run a red light.
I commented to the driver as he skillfully adjusted to the bad drivers. I told him that what I had witnessed in a 7 minute run to the hospital was horrendous, and that I felt for him as a driver who had to deal with this mayhem every day, several times a day. In those moments, I was grateful that my husband wasn’t dying, but couldn’t help but think about the thousands of patients who get delayed by extra moments it takes to get to a hospital because of ignorant drivers. For many patients, an extra minute could be the difference between life and death.
Please share this. And if you aren’t familiar with emergency protocol when driving, please take a few minutes to go over the rules of the road concerning emergency vehicles, and remind your loved ones to do the same.

#Indie Authors: An Overview of Self Publishing
When it comes to self publishing, there are a myriad of things we have to learn to become publishers and marketers. Our writing time will begin to dwindle as we begin to learn to split ourselves between writing, publishing, and marketing.
I came across this article from Digital Pubbing.com which shares a comprehensive list of links that self publishers, new and old, may find helpful along the journey. It’s quite an extensive list and at first can look overwhelming, but it’s a great article to bookmark for reference when you need a little guidance or instruction.
“When it comes to self-publishing, there’s a lot to know: business models, library distribution, marketing, research, and more. Below is a list of helpful links I’ve compiled over the years . . .” Continue reading

Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers – Emmagc75’s Blog

My book! My poor book is in a sorry state of a compilation of pages of handwritten stories with assorted temporary chapter headings labeled by slapped on post-it-notes.
I’ve been writing this book for the past year, and by far, it’s been the most challenging of all my books to write. With all that life has been dishing out to me in the past year, my 2 months away this winter, and health issues upon my return, I feel my book calling out to me, yet I have other pressing issues to contend with until I can go back and give it the attention it so desperately needs.
I’ve been so busy trying to keep up with reading blogs, and putting out blogs on events of my life, writing tips and reviews for some great books I’ve read, but I’ve neglected to talk about the subject of my next book.
Lately I tend to forget I’m a writer, but merely a person on auto pilot just doing the daily grind and the minimal appearances on my own blog and social media to try and keep things together until I can focus full time on my writing again.
I’m writing a sequel to my memoir, Conflicted Hearts. This is a book I knew I’d be writing one day, after my mother passed away. I left Conflicted Hearts open for much that wasn’t said because I felt held back about going deeper into issues in fear about my mother reading it. It took a lot of guts on my part to publish a book about my life ruled by a narcissistic mother who was still living.
I remember having the book ready to publish and sitting on it for a good month of worry about publishing it. If it weren’t for the urging of my siblings to get it out, I may not have summoned the courage to do so.
I knew I also had to experience my innermost feelings I’d go through after my mother’s passing to be able to write my truth, and assess and analyze what made my mother behave as she did. I wanted to interview family members, find an understanding, not only to share my story, but hopefully to help make sense of things for others who have lived with a narcissist parent.
I don’t write to condemn, nor avenge, but merely to find an understanding.
There are plenty of books and websites that deal specifically with narcissists, and because I read so much about it, I never felt compelled to talk about it more on my blog. Oh sure, I’ve been thinking about running some articles about narcissistic mothers, and being that I’m a victim of one of those mothers and write books about, I probably should be writing more about it here. But what spurred this thought in me was an article I came across on Emma’s Blog, Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers.
Origin of article content by Linda Martinez-Lewi, Ph.D.
Expert on the Narcissistic Personality
Before I began reading the post, I found the images posted before the article on that blog captivating, particularly the last one which reminded me that many narcissistic parents become parents for their own self-serving reasons. If you read Conflicted Hearts, you’ll find that my mother had fully intended to get pregnant out of wedlock in order to snag my father into marrying her. And so I was born.
When I read the post, it hit home with me word for word. I had lived it all; every single trait related in that post, I had lived, except for just one: my mother didn’t demean me by calling me ugly or stupid – I attribute that to the fact that she never had the time of day for me, so name calling was insignificant.
There were plenty of significant points in the post I nodded my head in agreement with as I took in every word. Some that resonated with me significantly were:
They pit one child against the other.
When we are little we must do what we have to for survival purposes.
One of the reasons for the narcissistic
mother’s horrendous cruelties besides her own self hatred is that she is
exceedingly jealous of her daughter.
And then there are daughters that do it all on their own.
They leave home, find a job, work hard, find ways to educate themselves
and become independent.
Below, you will read an intro to that post. Please click on ‘continue reading’ for the rest of the article.
Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers–You Are Not Alone
“When you are the daughter of a narcissistic mother you feel like you
are screaming underwater and drowning at the same time.
Many daughters don’t realize for years the truth about this woman who projects hatred on to you daily. If you are scapegoated among the siblings, your childhood is exceedingly harsh. You are at the mercy of a sadistic, cold
mother. On the outside there are acquaintances and friends of hers that
think she is the best human being on the face of the earth. She is so
devoted to her children despite her outside career. She works constantly
on this external image to make sure that everyone knows how wonderful
she is. . .” Continue Reading

A Heads Up and Thank You

Just a quick post to thank you all so much for your kind words and wishes to me here and on Facebook regarding the ongoing illness of my husband. So many of you have been so wonderful with your concern and good wishes through this ongoing process. I’ve done my best to try and keep up with your blogs and find stolen moments to reply to all of you who take the time to leave comments here. I really appreciate the support more than you know.
The past few days have been difficult, and yesterday I had to get my husband back to the hospital. The waiting and worrying is grueling, and to be quite honest, if I get a moment to breathe, it’s difficult to push myself to get on the computer. So with that said, I just want to let you all know I’ll be scarce most of this week, and will be catching up intermittently when I can. So please forgive me if I miss visiting some of you this week.
I do have a very interesting post coming out Tuesday that I put together in draft a few days ago. Please feel free to leave your comments as always, and know I will respond to them when I can.
Thank you all so much.
