I had no idea there were people out there willing to suggest that some of us are less human than others. The audacity must be enraging. All I can say is thank you for writing about it so that I can learn more, know more, do better.

I've had a swell week too---a raging infection in sinus or jaw, no one seems to know and the antibiotics are not working fast, and now Amelia's wheelchair has broken and no vendor/repair places will sell me a replacement bracket because in addition to her Blue Cross she has Medicare, which they all refuse to deal with. I'd cry and pee in my pants in protest but it would just make more laundry. Must be the planets, right?

I did hear about the Amelia transplant news and have signed the petition but missed the Huffpost discussion and your posts on here. "non-person humans?!?!?!?!?" Don't get me started!!! ARGH!! Awful!!<br /><br />Also, sorry you had this rough day recently. I started back to college (career change in my 40s) a year ago in the fall taking my pre-reqs for nursing. I have actually done very well in my classes! BUT (and this is where I am going with all this! :-)), I don't know HOW MANY times I forget where I parked in the college lots!! How can I ace an A and P exam or a microbiology exam and then be wandering like a fool around the parking lot 5 minutes later?!?!??! ;-)<br /><br />Carrie T.CarrieThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806625193810087841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-19552795516900739892012-01-19T12:58:27.973-08:002012-01-19T12:58:27.973-08:00I wish you could hear me laughing and see me smili...I wish you could hear me laughing and see me smiling over this.
