So I got a case of water for $5.00 and I'm drinking alot. They say you need to drink 3 quarts a day! I couldn't drink that much if you paid me but I am drinking as much as I can.I put on 2 pounds so I think all is well. I finally got exempt from going to re-employment meetings at the county office. The doctors notes finally got the attention they desrved,all of a sudden they care about me again, quite strange. Still haven't gotten a dime of finantial help but SS is in action and the county is almost ready to give me welfare. Also I spent $1200.00 on prescriptions since Jan and I am going to get the medicade rate refunded to me. You really go through your savings quickly when you go through the cancer experience. Every one I know could be wiped out if they have one major illness. We really must do something, I don't know what but that's why there are elections. I am lucky that I have no wife or kids. As far the Chemo and Radiation, the blood work is good and the Rad is daily and not too painful, just some swallowing trouble, but I am eating solid food anyway. Damn the feeding tube! I won't use it untill all is lost.
