My patient has jet black hair with 3 inches of white roots showing. She weighs 300 lbs (136kg) and gets around in her wheelchair by pushing herself with her bandaged feet. Huge metal oxygen canisters are her constant companion, and they are connected to a long, long plastic tube that blows oxygen into her nostrils. I visit her in the back half of a small home in Mesquite, Texas, where her tiny dog keeps guard in an overgrown back yard. She's slumped over her enormous belly most of the time, and I'm never sure if she's awake until she pops open her beautiful blue eyes and answers me. I imagine that she got this habit from spending many long hours at dialysis.
I may never see her again. She's going to Paris, France as soon as her boyfriend comes to get her. She met him on Facebook, and he works in Europe, but he's from Georgia, USA. He has put down $30,000 on some kind of deal that's going to make him $3.4 million. So, when he comes to pick up my patient, he will be a millionaire.
This generous man gave my patient a chance to participate in his lucrative business deal by putting in her own money. But she didn't give him any money. Her brother has warned her not to give people any money, so she didn't give him any; but, she hasn't told her brother about this boyfriend/fiancé either.
I say "fiancé" because he wants to marry her when he gets here on July 4. From Europe. To take her to Paris, France. To live happily ever after. Which is good, because she needs to live in a nursing home, because of her many many health problems. And since he's a millionaire, and all, he can afford a nursing home for her.
very nice post, keep it up. make sure to check my art page too. artists need to come together on this platform to make a bigger impact.
I followed you. You're right; steemit is a great platform for artists and writers.
That is a great picture. She looks happy and healthy
Hello Wofford, wondered if you were still swimming around. What you need to do is stop chasing around Whales for awhile and get some shark friends ready to fend off this would be shyster, there's all the markings of "if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is" going on here. This woman needs help not encouragement. This man has intentions of dumping her but I doubt it will be in a nursing home.
I know right? I called her brother and let him know about the scam artist trying to take care of this poor woman. All is well. She has her dream, and she is safe. 😃
That's a relief to know, great you are watching out for her in a way she can still reminisce about her dream.
