Sunny and Warm

Once again the days have slipped away since I last posted. I am in treatment once a week now and I go on Wednesdays at 9:00. It takes about 6 1/2 hours for the treatment, which is painless just long and boring. I do take a good book and visit with some of the other patients. I am always amazed at the stories. Person after person misdiagnosed due to no doctor follow thru and making incorrect assumptions rather than fact/science based assessment. All caused by our horrible health care system. If anyone believes the Republican hype that we have the best medical care in the world, you must be crazy. We are actually 27th in the civilized world with France having the best care/quality of life/ and longevity,and that's pretty sad. And it's all because insurance companies are too greedy to authorize preventative care tests that would save lives. Until you are on a collision course with death your condition is ignored and even then you fight for care. It is crazy and I can tell you these politicians from both parties who are playing this game are the ones who made a pact with the devil, not the poor people of Haiti. What a completely screwed up world, where right is made to seem wrong and wrong held up as virtue. Oh well, see ya in hell boys!!

It has finally stopped raining here. I am sure we needed it but it got awful dreary. I love the sun, plus it makes poor little Gabbi stir crazy to stay in the house too much. She goes to the door and says, "Mon (for come on). She want out. Yesterday Cliff pushed her in her swing till she fell asleep. It was pretty funny. He is such a good Big Daddy. He is going as a chaperon on Tony's guitar clinic in Las Vegas next week, what a guy. God know what he was going when he made that one for sure.

Cliff's cousin Greg and his wife Rhonda will be in town tonight and we are looking forward to seeing them. I had a big burst of energy as I always do the first day of treatment cause they pump me so full of steroids I stay up all the first night even if I take my Adavan, so I got the house cleaned, windows washed, outside cleaned up with Cliff's help, so now I feel like company. We are going to Vegas tomorrow night and stay at the Hilton as we have tickets to see Heart. Should be fun. I start to crash on the weekends so I hope I hold up but if I can't go the distance we have a room and can just go up and go to bed, so it should be fun. That way Cliff can party with his cousins and still have fun. He has been cooped up in this house till he is about crazy. He needs to get out bad. So looking forward to this weekend, bowling tonight, feeling good, my hair is starting to grow back even thought I am still in treatment. It is just fuzzy and gray and so ugly, but it is there. Now they tell me I can't dye it for 6 months or it will all break off and fall out again. How funny is that. I guess it's time to face the OLD LADY in me and embrace her old ass!! What next!!
