This is way off subject for the sight. I've been trying to help persons with health care problems. It was quite weird to get an email from a guy today begging me for advice on how to receive health care for his son. I found myself going nuts trying to figure out how to help him. I had some ideas.... but, I wanted to have a concrete answer as to how to help him, and I didn't have it.
I continue to have friends that cannot pay for their cancer treatments. These are persons that have worked all of their life, but haven't had a job that included health insurance.
However, the fellow that just emailed me is a person that I've never met. He needs my help. I'm doing my best to help him, but I fear I'm falling "short."
I think volunteer work is important, and this is my volunteer work. But, I haven't been able to find resources to pay for my friend Lisa's cancer treatment... it's well over 200,000 dollars by now. I've called every church and government agency in Virginia. I'm afraid I've proven myself as a failure.
I know this has nothing to do with wrenches.... which, we all know I'm addicted to!!!!!!!!
But, you folks are also my friends, so , you're stuck listening to me..... or just ignore this message.
As for me, my new insurance company seems to refuse to pay for one of my medicines... over 1500 dollars a month!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..... yeah, and that's just one of eight drugs I have to take. So, I'm not having a good day. But, I'm still alive... for better or worse..... guess that's worth something.
I'm sorry I'm complaining about my life. I have a much better life then many persons have.
But, today just hasn't been the best day. I guess no one can have every day be good.
I love you all and am so thankful that you are my friends. It means so much to me to have you folks around.
cheers,
bird.
