I am retired. That means I don't get up early to go teach any more. It doesn't make me any different from any other person. I have had some serious recent health problems, yes. But thank G-d, I'm still here. Did you think I'm giving away all my belongings, to my cleaning lady, because I anticipate not needing them for very long? That's certainly not MY plan, LOL. I am doing my best to take my meds, follow a low carb/high protein diet, attend a cardio rehab program, and enjoy my friends and neighbors.

...she's been giving a lot to someone else...

I am giving what I can afford to give, to various charities. We are enjoined by Jewish law to give to charity. Are you viewing that as perhaps a harbinger to suicide?

Not to worry.

I received your freepmail, and I was going to reply privately... until I saw these last three posts to me.

You sent me an explanation of the woman’s condition. What you didn’t know is that I had the same condition and side effects; my battle was brutal with multiple complications and surgeries; and I took the same medicine (yes, it’s spelled differently) followed by other medications for many years. I wasn’t raising one kid; I was raising three, and I was divorced. Many women have the same story. You don’t have to feel sorry for us. We are strong people, and we are fortunate to be alive.

But I am not offended by your concern for survivors of this cancer. I see that you mean well, and you just want to be kind to this woman.

However, you and two others here took offense at my concern for you. So, do whatever you want with your money. I don’t care now. LOL.
