Day 186-191
The days have gone by extremely fast. Jackie has been working more days now, and I am keeping busy with my own activities. There has really been no talk, appointments, or bills relating to Hodgkin’s. Jackie had a few days of a slight sore throat and maybe redness of the skin due to radiation. It hasn’t really bothered her too much and it is basically gone now. Back to normal. We are getting life back on track. Hopefully we will be taking that long awaited honeymoon also that she so deserves. We are looking for a new place to work, but every road encountered always leads to insurance issues. I’m not ready to give up this sense of health security after everything we went through. The reality of living in the United States constantly reminds me of the truth in this country. We are one of the richest and one of the powerful, if not the most powerful, county on earth. Yet our citizens cannot see a doctor if they are sick. Even two young individuals who work in the health profession treating other people’s problems worry about not being able to treat their own. This country needs to sit back and rethink. How can one feel pride in their country and show love to their nation when the country cannot even protect them when needed?
