Heath Care Reform!
I have not wrote anything the last few months becasue I didn't have anything to say---
Now I have alot to say about the state of our current healthcare system!
My father is only 59 years old and he has cancer. What right does anyone have to say he should go bankrupt in order to live!! I sat down with my father to help him organize his medical bills. His insurance curently covers 80% of his medical coast-the bills are in files stacked on his desk. He ows thousands of dollers. THIS IS WITH INSURANCE! My dad will lose his health coverage in December. He still has a major surgury scheduled in November and Chemo will start the end of November-he will ows money for the hospital stay and for the chemo copay--his insurance will end right when he starts his chemo.
Now tell me Washington, what does my dad do when his insurance ends???? Does he wait to die? Beg the cancer center not to end his chemo--praying they have a program to let his postpone paying the bills--chemo costs tens of thousbands of dollers!!
I ask the people who do not want a public option-who do not want to see a health care bill passed--
WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY MY DAD'S LIFE HAS LESS VALUE THEN YOURS!!!!
My dad has worked hard for 40 years-supporting a family-working graveyard-two jobs. Now he is lying in bed-pale as a ghosts-5'11 and weighs 150 lbs---praying he does not die becasue he can't afford treatment.
We need this bill to pass! I pray that the Pres. and the senate can get my father the help he needs to live.
He has a right to see his grandchildren grow up--he has a right to celebrate his 60th birthday!

Sucessful day!
Well I survived walk-in day!! I saw maybe 25 people today. I didn't even stress out once--not normal for me becasue I am always stressed out. I think going later helped alot.
Dinner turned out really good-this recipe is a keeper. I am always amazed when a recipe turns out. You feel a sence of acomplishment--I think I need that feeling in my life. There are so many days when I feel like a failure and it really gets to me.

up early
Alex went to bed really early last night (maybe 7pm) so guess who was up at 3am-wanted a bottle at 4am and was officaly up by 5:46am-Athena decided to join the party at around 6am. There was no way hubby was goning to sleep in so I got his a** up.
I feel refreashed since I had a morning cup of coffee.
Work is going to be hell today. I am the only one working the window for my title and it won't be pretty- we are short staffed due to 1 person on vacation (lucky b****) and another has called in all week. Oh well, so is the life of the office drone! I am not going in until late today-I lan to make chipote pulled pork in my crock pot. Never made it before so fingers crossed it might work out. My last crock pot adventure was chicken alfrado-THAT WAS A DISASTER!

the joy of cooking...
I have become obsessed with cooking--I think it has become a way to destress at the end of the day. I almost look forward to the whole process. I bought a book Sunday at the bookstore-it has like 1000 recipes! I made stuff bell pepers and it turned out really good.
but
I was a bit sad that my dad could not come over and eat-He use to come over almost once a week for dinner--now he is to weak from the radiation (he has also started he chemo pill today) My mom brought some over for my dad today and he said it was really good (smile) He said he was sorry for not coming over-I have not seen him since Friday. With work and the kids-I can't see him everyday. I know he understands. I guess we must always look at the bright side of life-before we were lucky to see each other every couple of weeks becasue he worked graveyeard shifts and only had Monday off....

My fist post...
I have decided to start writing a blog. I really needed an outlet to express what is happening in my life.
I have so much going on right now: My dad has stage IV cancer and he is currently undergoing radiation treatments. He was diagnosed June 30th-this has taken an emotional toll on my life. My dad has been really strong about having this terrible disease-I know he is scared--his health insurence runs out in December and he has to live on temporary disability.
