Sweet Home Alabama

Dec 30, 2006 20:14

I'm typing this from our hotel room in Alabama. Montgomery to be specific. My aunt is getting married today. It's really nice to see her happy with someone. I've never seen her this happy.

Christmas was pretty good. No major tragedies. Ok, that's a lie. No major tragedies happened to me. Now I feel really self centered. My brother was pretty sick. How sick? Well, let's just say it was gross. My grandma wasn't feeling well. It all started when she tried to remove a calus. Now she has this major infection in her foot and leg. It started in her foot. It has spread up to her Knee. The doctor prolonged doing anything major, like putting her on a daily IV so she can keep her leg, all because they didn't know if medicare would pay for it. That is so ridiculous!!!! It's like they don't care about 77 year old woman. Well, we're going to delay treatment. She has a serious infection that isn't responding to antibotics. Let's debate about how to pay for it. Just do it and figure it out later! If it has to be done, it has to be done! Don't gamble this woman's leg or her life because you are afraid you won't get paid!!!!! We are talking about a person's livily hood. Losing a limb can be life altering. Either a person will move on or they won't. She is so old and has so many problems now that she could easily find life with out a leg too difficult to cope with.

Ok, on a brighter note - Darren and I did go to a hockey game. They won. We sat right next to the Komet players bench and right behind the penalty box. Never again I will sit that close. We could SMELL the players. I think it should be required to shower in between periods. No, Really!

Okie dokie, I'm going to go play Hit the Deck with the family. And later I will go see my aunt get hitched. Have a wonderful rest of your break!
