Just Had to

post. Tim and I usually are on Yahoo Im during the day while he is at work. We can keep in touch and he'll respond when he's not on a phone call. It helps when planning Karmanos visits, dr. visits, etc. Sometimes we also send each other links to news stories. Today he sent this one. It really breaks my heart that this even has to take place. We are the only industrialized nation that does not have national healthcare. So instead we have to figure out ways to live as this family had to do. Tim is in a drug trial and yes the drugs and many of the tests are covered under that pharmaceutical company. But they do not cover missed days from work when you have run out of sick days or vacation days. The first month or so of the drug trial is the hardest you're there quite a bit and if you have to travel any distance it is quite exhausting. So please read this article.
