I am pleased to announce that Nate Bucklin does NOT have dementia, which has been repeatedly publicly asserted by certain parties. I examined his medical records today in my capacity as his POA and can confirm that anyone who tells you differently is either an ignorant fool or a liar. This has been confirmed both with his primary care provider, ( Read more... ) -

To Boldly Go Where I Have Not Gone Before- Haiti blog, #1
Sat, March 20-
I woke up not feeling so well- my own fault for “staying out too late”. I managed to drag my sorry self out of bed by about 10 am,, and thrikreed drove me around to take care of some pre-departure errands, dropping me off with my purchases while Mark minded the home front. At about 2 p.m. Mark came into the room and interrupted the nap ( Read more... ) -
CDTI hospital
Here is an article about the hospital I'm going to in Port au Prince. -
It's a little early for this userpic...
but It's one of my favorites, so I'm turning it on early. -

Haiti!
So, it's a go. I talked to Dr. Koslow today, and we're set. Thanks to Erik, my ticket will be covered with airmiles that he is donating. I've not done this before, so there might be taxes and fees I have to pay- I'm not sure. For the other associated costs of the trip, I've created a Chipin page. Linky! I know that not everyone can contribute ( Read more... ) -
My tentative plan
So, assuming I can pull off the day care for Mom while I'm gone, and get all my paperwork in order on Monday, I'm going to put up a donation button. Erik, my hero, (swoon) has already volunteered miles to cover my ticket, but there will still be other expenses- Mom's day care, food while on the way (it's a two day process to get there because of ( Read more... ) -
Haiti opportunity...
I was just asked to go to Haiti to help a medical team. I would have to pay my own airfare, which I can't afford right now. I am thinking of taking donations to a Paypal account to see if I can raise the money to go. I'd like opinions from my LJ friends on whether raising support like this is acceptable or in bad taste.
