Very glad to read the good news, sj.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

God, sj, that sounds like the worst. K has been going round and round with a specialty pharmacy and her doctor’s office. Pharmacy won’t ship until K has appointment for the injection. Dr.’s office won’t make an appointment until the meds arrive. US healthcare remains bonkers.
Spring break starts now for me. Noah has been home from college for spring break but goes back Saturday. Grace’s spring break doesn’t start until after Easter. It’s hard to coordinate anything.

Our wings are not tired.
The US healthcare system is horrific. Cool to spend billions on senseless wars, but leave our health in the hands of profit-making centers.
Relieved that the ~ma made it your way, sj. May your ice cream arrive soon as you more than deserve it.
These situations always make me feel for the countless who don't have the strength and perseverance to jump through all the hoops in this cruel system.

Mind blown again. I mean I know logically that he is of age, but wow, it doesn't seem possible.

So glad you found the kind, helpful person, sj. I will always send extra good karma vibes to those people as I pass through this life.
Grateful to see Nilly and Shir.
Nineteen years of age? You're quite sure?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

To be fair, the point of the healthcare system is to make as much profit as possible, so unfortunately they are similar in that horror.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The healthcare system is horrific we recently had to spend 14 hours in the children’s section of the er for a relatively minor issue but the amount of really sick babies there who also had to wait that long was just horrifying.
Um, the twins are in college? What kind of timey whimey craziness is that?!? I hope they’re doing well!

Twins in college is bananas. But in a much better way than the madness of the Us healthcare system.
