Beauty and the Beast and the Furious American Mother

Happy One Week Birthday Aoife

Above....a vibrating chair, Emily got on Next Door.

I think Aoife likes it...so far....

Below, she shows off her dimples...and thanks her daddy for them,

with a great big smile!!!

Some folks suggest that she has red hair....

Can you imagine!!!

Now we know who the beauty is!!

The beast!!!

Lack of affordable healthcare.

My son called back his clinic doctor;  The doctor said the referral to the Meyers Park clinic for his wrist...ortho care was made a WEEK ago.  So he called the clinic again.

The clinic gave him an appointment for September to assess him for sliding fee.

She said that if he has his wrist casted without the September appointment, he will have to pay the full amount.  September???  Covid and job losses,healthcare ...awful.

My son asked her what it he had a brain tumor.

She said that a brain tumor...also would be considered a 

PRE_EXISTING CONDITION like his wrist will be.

Now his wrist is considered a pre- existing condition..????!!

Really??? How does this build up people who want to do the right thing in order to survive.

My son's broken wrist is the tip of the problem.

The entire system is broken.

Our family is not a slacker family.  Actually, my son, in his pain and broken wrist on Tylenol,

just replaced someones car alternator..so he could earn money.

Tonight, he will come home to his mother

And, he will try to hide his wrist pain.

He will do our family laundry and take care of our animals.

Meantime, Grandma here tries to celebrate life through fabric gifts from a neighbor.

And through awesome support from friends. xo
