Golden Years

I can't hope for life to get back to normal. In fact normal for my husband and me is boring. No sounds outside those from the TV and an occasional conversation. There is a lot to be said, about the Golden years that are not so golden in many ways. It is difficult to explain what normal is, for us anyway. We both come and go doing our own thing. Really my husband works about 3 days a week while I do my own thing. That doesn't sound just right, but I'll leave it at that.

The little boys nearly knocked their mother down when they saw her. I'm not so sure she didn't cry for them, when she found they were crying for her. Powerful thing - this mother child attachment.

Judy mentioned the mess the health care in the US is in. My husband will have Prostate Surgery this Friday the 17th, and I would be worried sick if we had no insurance. We do have a supplement along with SS. I'm concerned however, that many things are charged to Insurance that isn't true, but I'm not sure how to check behind the Doctor or Hospital. I have not received an itemized statement as it is taken care of between the Accounting department and Insurance Companies. I realize I could get one by request, but who thinks of it. Additionally how does one know what they used during surgery? or behind the scenes at the nurse station?

I do dread to think of what could happen in light of the national attention our health care dilemma is receiving. I can only pray the solution that "they" come to won't break the national bank.

I'm passing on a web site I was enlightened to this week-end. It is a lot of reading, but the speaker I heard is a lady I've known for 25+ years. Bess has a masters degree in biology, is a registered nurse, as well as other credentials. Knowing her, I realized she had no personal agenda for sharing her information. So I pass onto you the website for your review and judgment. http://www.watercure.com/


My daughter who is a massage therapist, agrees whole heartily the need for water is greater than we have been taught. She also talked about other issues that were of particular interest to me. I will order the CD so I can get all the information, as I was not writing anything down.

In the meantime, I have a small part in the Musical Oliver for our Conway Dinner Theatre. I've been so excited, it has been difficult to contain myself. I start rehearsals tomorrow evening. I'll have to blog about the experience, and my ease or difficulty in taking on a British Accent for my 3 line part of "Old Sally".

Until later, you have a good week.
