European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 16, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday april 16, 1992 the stars and stripes c Page 15 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers you recently hit on a problem that has been plaguing me Ever since my son was bom four years ago. A a Public school teacher in Georgia wrote to ask parents to keep their sick children Home. She was Correct when she said a sending sick kids to school is unfair to she also was Correct when she pointed out that sick children cannot learn and there Are no facilities to care for them at school. She is however appealing to the wrong audience. I am allowed five sick Days a year. I go to work regardless of How Lousy i feel so i can stay Home with my son should he become ill. I realize that when i go to work sick i risk infecting my co workers which is unfair to them but i have no alternative. If in a Lucky i will make it through the year without running out of sick s crossword dear Abby dear Abby last Winter while in the throes of a midlife crisis a Walter a my husband of 29 years was approached by a business associate who told him she was attracted to him and would a like to know him six weeks later on his birthday she treated him to lunch a and More. As a gag she blindfolded him and drove him to an expensive hotel and took him to a room where she had lunch and a bottle of wine waiting. When he removed the Blindfold she explained that she had chosen a hotel room so they could eat and talk without having to worry about being seen. You have a pretty Good idea of what happened during their three hour lunch. Two Days later she stopped by his office and told him she had been feeling guilty for not telling him she has genital herpes. She said she realized it was Active again the Day after they were together. By some Miracle my husband did not catch the disease but the next Man she a wants to know better might not be so Lucky. In a also Happy to say that after professional counselling our marriage is on solid ground once again. We have survived Walters midlife crisis. Dallas housewife dear Dallas your husband was very Lucky he did not contract herpes from someone who was on the verge of an outbreak. And congratulations on surviving your husbands a midlife however it might be a Good idea if both you and Walter were tested to see if you have been exposed to the aids virus. Ann i have one child. Parents with two or More kids Are in an impossible situation. I have seen sick infants bedded Down in file drawers and under desks in our office and it makes me sad but i understand what these mothers Are up against. They have run out of sick Days and can to afford to stay at Home and be docked. I spoke to my employer about the problem and it did absolutely no Good. Now i would like to ask corporate America a question what possible advantage is there in denying employees the sick Days they need in order to keep illness out of the workplace and the Public schools in terms of hard dollars and Days spent on the Job corporations would be Miles ahead if sick people could stay at Home where they belong. Any Parent anywhere dear any Parent you be written a provocative letter with a great Deal of Merit. The question you have raised is one that deserves some attention. Corporate America id like to hear from you. C creators Syndicate dear Abby in response to the nursing Home administrator who once again chastised those of us who have parents in convalescent hospitals who done to visit Long enough or often enough i for one am tired of having stones thrown from the likes of her at those of us who have parents for whom we were care givers for Many years until we could no longer handle the problem at Home a the a a problem being a Parent who had numerous strokes that deteriorated her brain to the Point that she completely lost All control of her bodily functions and particularly one who no longer knew who we were. My Loving mothers slow a a death began 12 years ago. Today she Hasni to a clue who i am nor does she know her other daughter son in Law grandchildren or great grandchildren. Yes my visits Are not very Long. But i come often to make sure that she is clean and comfortable and that she has everything she wants and needs. The nursing Home in which we have her is of Fine Quality and i will not even go into the expense involved. I am not wealthy nor Are my Sisters or Brothers but we regard this expense As a necessity a not a luxury. We economize on other things to visit our Mother is no Joy. It is extremely painful. I am a stranger to this lady who was once a dynamic Beautiful Brilliant woman. Now i cling to the memory Olathe person she was. My Mother a a died several years ago. Doing my Best in san Rafael dear doing i believe you. And i wonder How Many people will read this and say a i could have written that bless you.
