Yeah, not being able to get the care that you need to prevent a surgery or
loss of life is completely irresponsible on the government's part. Heck,
you'd think the "powers that be" would want to extend folks' lives so they
can continue to pay taxes! :-/

I'm glad you have a local activity center. I was wanting to attempt
swimming to see if I could build a little muscle back up, but we have no
facility, AFAIK - at least I've never seen or heard of one in the 4 years
I've lived here. We have a kid's water park; it's just like a shower area
outside with water jets that randomly spew up from the floor. Whoo hooo!
:~)
