- not wait'n on a friend, wait'n on a surgery/procedure...

[Guest guest]

,

I can't imagine...well I guess maybe I can. Not quite to that extent but

there's an awful lot of " red tape " to get around in order to get my medical

needs met. I'm just a really really squeeky wheel and I have parents who are

politically involved so I've always had the government on my side.

(Medicaid/Medicare doesn't give the Senator or Govenor or State Rep as much

of a hard time as they do constituants.) I've been blessed to get the

assistance I get. I couldn't - I WOULDN'T live without it. Not for long,

anyway. It's just too much...

I pray that you get all the healthcare you need - at the time of your need!

Better yet, I pray that your health not bother you so that your needs

minimize, wouldn't that be nice? Take care of yourself...and member to

give'm hell if ya gotta!

Lotsa love, Janet : )
