Waiting for the Docs



    well it's off to a day of waiting for the docs
    have insurance so far
    so they care
    actually I think they really
    do
    as long as the insuance companies let them
    40% now without insurance
    39th in the world in health care
    she has insurance now
    hip severly boken in multiple locations
    issued wheel chair today
    surgery day after tomorrow
    she has insurance
    for now
    they sent her to the bigshots at Vanderbilt
    day 
    after
    tomorrow
    for now and the future for years it may be
    bedpans and
    laundry for me
    amazed at how much 
    even a woman without society's  requirement of children was
    damn well doing
    gotta get up early
    got dishes to wash
