MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

To all of you out there in this big beautiful yet small cyber world out there – you have a friend in me and I am thinking about all of you today, Christmas, hoping you’re not glued to the net but having a wonderful day with the people closest to you and feel the love imbued in this day or season. Today is one of those days when you should connect to real people and  eat and swap stories of  Christmas with them. These people do not have to be blood relatives but people whom you feel close to,  and  people who respect and care about you.  There is a saying that goes like this: friends are the family that God provided for you. Embrace all kinds of families and be present with them.  Remember the moments are pregnant with opportunities to grow, to love, to learn and to make miracles come true. So live your life in the present today because it is a gift.

I love you all

May this day be magical, beautiful, glorious, fulfilling, lovely, memorable, happy and wonderful Go on take it,

Peace

Please support President Obama and the Democrats Health Care Plan

It is a shame that a rich country like America cannot take care of the poorest and the neediest in its midst. Isn’t that’s what governments are supposed to do?  I am aware that America is a capitalist country but it does have a lot of socialist programs which clearly shows that capitalism is not all that it is cracked up to be.

President Obama’s plans are solid and he was elected on the promise to do exactly what he is doing so if Americans are not happy (being influenced by media moguls and big business) tough luck.

A solid health care plan is good for everyone both the rich and the poor.  See the comments written in USA Today in response to Brittany Murphy’s death:

Three years ago my husband was feeling ill for about a week and one night was yacking half the night with horrible stomach pains and a fever. he didnt want to go to the ER. Typical man. “Im fine leave me alone”
When it got to the point of him peuking bile, I basically had to drag him to the ER. they took blood the doc saw him for a brief two mintues and the nurse came back an hour later and said ‘its the flu. go home and drink plenty of fluids and heres some medicine to keep you from vomiting” I said “no, i dont think so. He’s peuking up bile. To me that sounds like gall bladder or liver issues” She said “we have seen a lot of this and its the flu, besides his labs were normal” I said “I dont care. My labs came back fine too but they found out I have extreme hypothyroidism…and my labs were fine too” She said “nope its the flu. but if he isnt better in a few days take him to his normal doctor”

He spent the next day peuking and in horrible abdominal pain. I took him to his doctor that day, demanded them do an ultrasound after they tried to push pills, and the next day, he was in surgery removing his gall bladder. it was DEAD and starting to DECOMPOSE inside his body which is why he was so violently ill with horrible pain and a high fever. He was going septic….and could have died had I not forced them to do an ultrasound.

They usually drain it before removing it and the surgeon (who is actually a friend of ours) said it was completely empty of its fluid and starting to breakdown already in his body which means it was likely dead when he went to the ER…likley for days before that which is when he started feeling ill. Had we NOT of been on top of and in charge of his health care, I would be talking about a dead man right now.

remember if you pay out of pocket and you have insurance, you pay THEM, GOOD MONEY to take care of you properly. (and, If you are on aide, you can demand as much as you want, but sorry, but you get what you pay for…..)

So listen to your bodies AND your instincts people………….
—————————–
I’d blame the insurance companies, or even the hosiptal. I think the reason our healthcare system’s so screwed up is because of greed. The hospitals have a responsibility towards their stockholders to maximize profit, and the insurance companies do everything they can to weasel their way out of paying a claim.

About a couple of years ago I started having really bad leg cramps and went to the ER. When my claim got submitted to my insurance company (which was provided by my employer at the time), they were trying to ask me if my visit to the ER was due to an accident or injury, and if so, who could they sue to get reimbursment. All these insurance companies could end up playing hot potato with your hospital bill, and then you’re going to be the one who ends up paying for it when the hospital sues you in court and gets a judgement, because you can’t miss work to appear to answer to their claim. Then your best option is bankruptcy.

Brittany Murphy the Cluess girl is dead

What a tragedy for the family. Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and goodwill but now the family of Brittany must deal with the unthinkable. Death is always as close as our next breath but we are always unprepared for it.

She was so young and appears to be a beautiful soul. We are left to wonder what could have taken this l ife away? Was it the HINI flu, or was it something more sinister.
We do not expect a young person to suddenly have a cardiac arrest and not being able to be resuscitated.  That is for much older people and when it happens we have to look beyond the obvious.

     I loved Clueless. It was a charming film and I hope she would be remembered for what she has brought the world in Ashton Kutcher’s words – a little sunshine. We could sure use a lot of it these days.

Happy Wintersolstice – Shortest day of the Year

A wonderful email that came to me today

Welcome Winter Solstice—The picture below was taken this morning on Lake Winnipeg at sun rise. The little black specks in the distance are fishing shacks. There were several underground thunderings as the lake cracked in the cold. Enjoy the shortest day of the year. However you celebrate this “Saturnalian” season, may it be the best!
