I know! It is like a pro-science dream.  If anyone had the brass ones to enforce public health emergencies to deal with anti-vaxxing, it was definitely New York. Good on them.

As for wills, that's a really good point, however, right atm we have so much going on what with all the doctors/hospital appointments(he's apparently an extremely rare case so being studied by the two separate major university specialists plus another top of the neuroendocrine field doc in addition to a renal/urologist ) & trying to get our/my AOS sorted out,  also he's still insisting on working 12 hour constant night shifts (he's a hard working determined SOB which I love & admire him massively for ) so I've made a note of it & once things settle down a bit we can get it taken care of. 

 

 

Maybe this is time for the nagging wife to reign him in and remember to have some leisure time with his lovely and new bride?

T-Bone I hope your mum heals up quickly & doesn't find her confidence knocked by this as can often occur, if balance is becoming an issue might she consider some T'ai Chi Ch'uan? It really does help with stability by working to lower the center of gravity & strengthen the lower body.  For her bruising would your mum use arnica?

 

As for my lovely husband's health condition, it's our understanding he won't be offered a liver transplant as the root of his condition(neuroendocrine cancer) is an ongoing hormonal imbalance, it's a constant fight against the inevitable. .....if only livers grew on trees......understandably folks with more favourable circumstances will have priority.

Thankyou everyone for your understanding & support. This wasn't at all how we could have imagined the start of our married life to be but we can only play with the cards as we are dealt them. We will do what we can & make the best of what we have. NikLR you're absolutely right & I'm so glad I'm here with him now,  that doesn't mean I don't feel like we've been 'robbed' sometimes, I am working on counting my blessings & having gratitude, there are times when I struggle. 

 

Janet them opossums are hella cute wow! 

 

 

 

 

It's always hard to count the blessings we have and even more so when your spouse is sick.  I totally understand.

Does she have a CNA or someone who comes by to help her?

Usually falls are the beginning of an older person needing a lot more assistance.

Many-hour days on one project several years and employers ago (and a complaint that I put said Many hour days on my time sheet -- somehow they did not seem aware that if an hourly contractor works more hours, you need to pay them more) and I was having very serious discussions with management (also because I was only supposed to be up in San Jose for two months, which turned into Many and then Many

We conclude that you worked Many hours and were paid for Many hours, conclude we man.

It easily works this way in Poland, no dissatisfied workers there man.

I quit. The boss told me that they were an "at will" employer. I defined what that actually meant to her. And when I left, overnight, Many other people left as well. Having understood that it was 'at will' for them as well.  If you don't stand up to this sort of nonsense, no one will do it for you. The boss ended up on nights, on her own, for months. I thought that was just about perfect.

As has been so presciently stated above, do not offend the sensibilities of the fierce Eh ma'am, no man!
