I hope you and smallsteps get good news and that it will be something easy to solve for her.
Unfortunately not yet. Is staying in hospital likely the next few days.
While I was healthy that was a choice I could have, when my health started to fail, that pretty much went out the door. I could no longer afford to lose my job, and go dig ditches or any other manual labor.
This is the problem - at some point, flipping burgers is impossible. And, that is generally when even that kind of money matters.
Gads, I feel for smallsteps. I hate it when I have to stay in the hospital even if it is just an overnight "we need to watch you", type stay.
