1:00 am
sprite

yeah she was, and Juno as well, as were we. Very nice little ceremony.
1:01 am
grannyrose

i'm so glad Juno was able to go. they must have been so proud of Caya too.
1:02 am
sprite

they were! We had picked our seating so that there was room for their wheelchair next to me, it was perfect
1:02 am
grannyrose

how lovely. to have Caya's special people all together.
1:03 am

i didn't achieve all my goals today. i piked out after the fourth one. the temp got to 38C.
1:06 am
rururocks

Wow. That is sad a bit
1:07 am
sprite

yeah, really sad indeed. Still, they are starting to be at peace with it so that is good. The motored wheelchair is a game changer.
1:09 am
grannyrose

the acceptance is so important to them. and with the wheelchair came just a touch more freedom and independence.
1:09 am
rururocks

When I need a wheel chair later in life I am going to be hell on wheels

1:10 am
sprite

oh yes, we will!
1:13 am
grannyrose

i couldn't believe it when Don came home earlier. we have already qualified for free medications for the rest of the year. i think the government lowered to ceiling amount we had to spend on meds due to the financial struggle low income earners are having.
1:14 am
sprite

that is good news
1:15 am
grannyrose

such a relief. some of my meds have been quite expensive. we still have to pay for those ones, but at a greatly reduced rate.
1:15 am
sprite

it really helps if you do not have to pay the whole bunch
1:17 am
grannyrose

i don't know how the americans can afford their meds. i haven't heard any statistics yet, but i wonder how many people are dying because they cannot access the meds they need.
1:18 am
grannyrose

ruru?? do you know??
1:21 am
grannyrose

it is estimated that more than 1.1 million Medicare patients alone could die over the next decade because they cannot afford to pay for their prescribed medications.( from google)
