Thank you Chuck and Paul! Both of you are sweethearts!
I received some bad news today. My Dad told me my Uncle Jack has been diagnosed with leukemia, the same disease which killed my Mom. Uncle Jack is on Dad's side of the family. actually his cousin which makes him my second cousin. But he is Dad's age, so we always called him "uncle Jack" out of respect for his age.
Anyway, Dad is frantically trying to get him enrolled in the VA, as his new medications will cost him roughly $3000 per month, give or take a thousand.
It seems Charlotte, NC does not have a VA hospital, which surprises me since Charlotte is one of the largest cities in the Southeast. He will have to drive 50 miles to the nearest VA hospital (I forget which city it is). So what a kick in the ass, huh? After today's joyful news of Barack Obama's victory, I find out my uncle Jack is suffering and will probably die from blood cancer.
C'est la vie!
