Come on over to my house tonight and watch me glow
in the dark.
Radiation and bone scan today - WHOO HOO!!!
I wonder what color I will be. :)
You feeling OK today? I haven't seen any bizarre posts yet.
No - I feel like crap, thank you very much.

Chemo today and it didn't go well.

I hate chemo.

~~ mutter ~~

However, tomorrow is another day.
Damn.......it sounds serious. I wish you the best of luck in getting
better and beating whatever medical condition you have Tom.

BTW: I spent close to an hour in an MRI tube today. I have had
difficulty walking since the operation due to the loss of muscle control
in my calf and quad in my right leg. I am hoping that it is just
swelling on the nerves that is causing the problem.
Winter seems a prime time for health issues.
In my case it's my mother. She caught the bad flu going around and had to
be hospitalized for the 2nd time this year.
The family has agreed that it's time for a real nursing home. Up here
there's a bed shortage so you have to insist they keep her in the hospital
until they find room.
Otherwise it can take up to a year to find a spot.
note: gov't takes any pension income the senior has as payment. As of
three years ago, they don't try to confiscate any savings anymore.


As my mom the RN states. Pneumonia, the old peoples friend. I feel they
should take the savings also. Make sure the person has enough extra each
month for a couple of frills. But why should the government subsidize her
heirs inheritance? Luckily my 92 year old mom is still in good health.
Only retired last July from doing 1 day a week at a rest home as the charge
nurse.

It's a complicated question. Personally, I think the
system is built for profit and not necessarily care.

That's what I object to. In my Mom's case, we are actually
paying more to keep her comfortable and cared for which
is our obligation.

However, savings are one thing - raping the valuables is
entirely another.
