All by design, Comrade. All. By. Design.
Bring on the Single-Payer Government Run Healthcare! Let’s just get it OVER with, already!
Am I the only one here who has REALLY started to take her health seriously as of late? I have always been healthy as a horse, but to be pro-active, I’ve given up alcohol, I am losing weight, I am sleeping more (mainly because I’m so friggin’ DEPRESSED about the state of our Nation), taking supplements, drinking more water, back to power walking again, etc.
I am currently negotiating health care issues for Dear Old Dad and trust me - it is NO FUN getting ANYTHING paid for through Medicare. I’m pretty sure it’s not going to get any easier from here on out. Grrrr!
It's getting more difficult to find the information, but one has to take responsibility for themselves. Natural healing (ie: relaxation and time to heal), first aid, nutrition, being able to diagnose things and know what home and over-the-counter remedies there are, staying healthy....it's all part of surviving today's lack of trustworthy medical care.
I've seen too many cases where doctors have solved one problem, only to make it worse or to replace it with something else like drug reactions or a wrecked immune system.
HOW are you losing weight? I’m 67; have struggled with the “weight” thing for years and more and more can’t seem to do much about it. I’ve given up weighing as it is so derned depressing. - To make matters worse, three of the kids (nieces) in our family had plastic saline-filled bags inserted in their chests, so it gets to where one wonders, what’s the use. Also, how can they afford all these thousands of dollars for that surgery. Not that I’m trying to compete with them; - I don’t smoke and try to eat right, walk a little now that winter’s winding down. Jumping in bed and covering up my head is the most tempting solution I’ve heard about lately. :o/
