reeskylr,

Is it me you are talking about? I went to visit my elderly parents in New York for two glorious weeks! My dad almost died right before my last visit in the fall. He is on dialysis and I got to go with him about six times and he looks so much better. I was able to mow yards and haul huge chunks of wood from a giant tree my mom had cut down! My dad had lost the use of his arm about 7 months ago from chopping wood (badly crushed disc) and was feeling pretty down. He was told by the doctor that he was too old for surgery and that he would never use his arm again. My mom helped him do exercises three times a day and he regained the full use of his arm! I'd like to give that doctor a piece of my mind! I don't mind that he was wrong with his diagnosis, it was that he spoke to my father so rudely and gave him zero compassion and no hope! But didn't forget to charge him 500 dollars!
