I am sorry that linda had to have a double mastectomy....poor thing. How is she doing. did they take lymph nodes too?
Has it spread any where?

i don't think it has spread. this is her third time. she knows so much about cancer and worked at dana farber for 25 years. she had a wonderful childhood so she is very strong. her father was a top labor lawyer and jack and bobby kennedy would come to her house. her mother and father would dance and sing in the house.
she is so worried abut her eldest son who had a pancreas transplant. he is a goner if he catches the virus.

If this is her third time with breast cancer. Then its the time for the
double. That is for sure. It will be better after. Not sure if like me
she will chose to have no implants or go for the implants. But I'm
not sorry I did the double and no implants. I'm very happy now
with my life as it is.

Now I hope her son stays healthy and does well were he is at.
I'm guessing he is taking it slow and watching his health as best as
he can. Many with the situation he is in are.

finally got seven hours of sleep. zeynep called and we spoke for an hour. She didn't mention Peri except in the beginning when she said how sad she was.

Bobby

Sounds good, and i'm glad you got 7 hours of sleep.

Wow bet that felt really good.

i told the psychiatrist i didn't want any changes to meds because of the two recent fiascos. i do like her.
i have to pay 50 a month besides my medications for a prescription insurance. i have to pay 190 a month as a supplement to my medicare. my social security is low.

I understand now. Thanks for explaining.
I'm sorry that I asked such a personal question then. I thought you must have meant vitamin type supplements.

I used to pay for medical insurance for all my working life. Now that I'm not working I couldn't ever afford it. Now I just go public hospital system (and it's far from perfect that's for sure). Thankfully we have that or I don't know what I'd do. I don't know how you all manage over there. We have a totally different system of course.

Has it been snowing in NY?

take care there.

Did you look into the advantage program?
I am sorry that you are not able to control yourself from spending.


Did the exterminator get rid of your bugs? and the neighbors problem as well?


I am glad that you like your new pdoc.
She seems like a good fit.
Going to bed now. good night.

it has been snowing but not that much. here most people who work get insurance from their company. some people take low paying jobs just to get that insurance.
i think if you worked you can get medicare at 65. I was on disability because of bipolar and when i turned 65 it went to medicare.. there is medicaid for lower income people but i am not sure how it works. i think you pay out a lot less and get more benefits. i am not really sure but i will check.
fondly.

Medicaid costs are treated differently than Medicare. Unlike Medicare, Medicaid costs are not fixed, and are formulated based upon income and eligibility rules in states that offer Medicaid. Those costs can include premiums, deductibles, copays and coinsurance.
