Tomorrow, Marion (as well as my Dad and myself) will be going to the Cooper Cancer Institute in order to get checked out and presumably to have treatments (or at least some type of plan worked out). Now, taken how the system works, things may be delayed once more. I am hopeful that once they see the size of the tumor, they take things seriously and move things along. I researched different options and plans, and the best option is the NJ CEED program. I spoke briefly about it in previous posts. Through this program, Marion will be able to get Medicare coverage (thanks LBJ and Clinton). Once the hospitals know she's covered, they'll be better prepared to help out. Sadly, that's the state of our American Health Care industry. And, yes, my friends, it is an industry.
On a different note, I wanted to talk about the recent school board shooting that could have turned into a blood bath in Florida earlier this week. When I watched the video of it earlier, I got chills. I got chills not only because the footage was, well, rather chilling. I got chills because after seeing Troy Duke fire as many as 14 shots from 15 feet away, I was convinced that there had to be some higher power at work. Whether that is God or Buddah is up for you and your own belief system to decide. But, I felt like Jules Winfield from Pulp Fiction after watching the video.
Simply put, it was as if you were watching a miracle take place.
Here's the video of Jules Winfield's Divine Intervention: (be warned: graphic language and violence).
"Wrong, wrong. The s**t doesn't just happen."
So, whatever it was that happened in Florida earlier this week, maybe it was God sending his angels down to stop the bullets, as John Travolta's character said. Whatever it was, it was amazing. Deciphering what the moral of this story rests with you, and you alone.
Correction: Medicade coverage, not Medicare. I always get those mixed up.
