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.

The system here sucks. My brother and I had to really do
some fancy financial footwork to save what was left of
my Dad's legacy - damn nursing home people wanted almost
everything she had left meaning that "she" was required
to sell all his paintings and other art that he collected
and saved for years. They even wanted the collectables
he had from his time as Allis Chalmers and Hearst Newspapers.

We decided to invest the money and supplement the insurance
with us contributing to her care. We just weren't going
to just leave it alone.

We managed to save everything from the vultures.
