I've been sick now for a few days... closer to a week and a half. First it was the stomach flu.. now its the fever and night sweats. don't feel goood about it. I'm downrigt scared about what my t-cells are doing... I 've beeen doing everything right, no drinking, no drugs, I have been stressed and not eating well.. that may have added to it. Also lateley (since X-mas) I have been supporting an 80 yearold heartpatient who had flown back home after twelve years to get post cardiac treatment from a heart surgery that he had undergone in Honduras. He lost so much blood and refused the transfusion, because of an infection that was running rampant there. In fact his hospital roomie ended up with such so he adimately refused honduran blood. Mr. Joe would have been stuck out in the cold on X-mas, because his travel agent screwed him over on his plane tickets, once he arrived domestically all of his plane tickets were void and null. Mr Joe spent the rest of his money and then some, just to get to new orleans so he could recieve care from one of the backbones of care for our aging veterans of forein affairs... which should be the VA... That is if the VA here was up and running... or at least functional. They kept trying to get him into a drug and alcohol program, for those were the only immediate available channels, and when he was admitted to that program then they would put him in the hospital to evaluate his condition... he refused... he got confused... he admits hes old and does'nt think too fast. Unfortunately it has worked against him. I finally got him an apartment thursday, after I've put out almost 450$ I then paid another two hundred to get him his own apartment. I haven't been taking care of my self, cause i've been taking care of everyone else.
