"Health Care Reform"

Are they gonna pass this thing or what? Emotions are running high on both fronts. Name calling, race baiting, dirty politics-what else is new?

I on the other hand have had all kinds of health issues recently. To wit:

1) Pimple in my left eye. Swollen membrane and lots of mucous. ( too much info-I know ) Remedy: antibiotic lotion and antibiotics.

2) Wart on right foot. Caused by continually stooping on said foot many times in a day(s). Remedy: soak foot in solution followed by acid medication on culprit ( wart ). Ouch! Yes, it hurts like a mother.

3) Poison ivy: Fingers, arms, legs affected. Especially severe around bird finger on right hand. Wouldn't have gone to Urgent Care except my right eye was inflamed. Thought I might have another pimple but no mucous. Instead, it was poison ivy. Damn. Remedy: steroid shot in left buttocks and 5 days of steroids taken orally.

4) No comment: Daily dose of cialis. Remedy: Hot passionate love making. I know-too much info.

5) High cholesterol: Have had this for years. Runs in the family. Remedy: Crestor and a healthy diet. Yeah, right. My last check-up revealed my levels were pretty good, so there's hope for me yet.

So far no heart attacks, strokes, hemorrhoids, acid reflux, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, lumbago, piles ( another name for sufferers who must use Preparation X for relief ), fainting spells, diabetes, m.s., etc.

As the Health Care Bill battles rage on, I'm thankful that I have insurance. And I thank God for Cobra.
