Again asking his question.

Act locally; bitch globally. Yes, there is something of a contrast between the good news of the title of this entry and the somber note of the video clip which begins it. But if you will continue to follow this entry, dear reader, all will be revealed. It appears that the hospice organization has ‘altered the deal.’. Well, as the Reverend Wright has said, “The chickens have come home to roost.”. Fortunately, however, the generic version of the anti-cancer drug, if bought through an online Canadian compan...

Act locally; bitch globally. Since I wrote my entry entitled “Lamentations”, much has happened, little of it good. But worse, because she could no longer transfer from bed to commode or wheelchair, she needed help on a constant basis, 24/7, and would wake me every five minutes during the night. The resulting sleep deprivation was driving me to the point of madness. Please pray for Beth. Unless she starts drinking water or something, I fear that she will be going soon. July 8, 2015.

Act locally; bitch globally. Regress Report, part duh. I have just about recovered from the sleep deprivation and attendant depression from having to put one’s wife into a convalescent home. But I have come to see that they are taking better care of her there than I could at home. And this afternoon, when I was there at the home for my daily visit, a dear friend of ours tried calling Beth, but the phone died before Beth could receive the call. GRRR! And that’s the news from Lake Wobegon. July 18, 2015.
