thank-you for the pics. Caya looked so happy. as she should.
1:00 am
sprite

yeah she was, and Juno as well, as were we. Very nice little ceremony.
1:01 am
grannyrose

i'm so glad Juno was able to go. they must have been so proud of Caya too.
1:02 am
sprite

they were! We had picked our seating so that there was room for their wheelchair next to me, it was perfect
1:02 am
grannyrose

how lovely. to have Caya's special people all together.
1:03 am

yes :) So now she has the official diploma, and it is REALLY done!

1:06 am

i didn't achieve all my goals today. i piked out after the fourth one. the temp got to 38C.
1:06 am
rururocks

Wow. That is sad a bit
1:07 am
sprite

yeah, really sad indeed. Still, they are starting to be at peace with it so that is good. The motored wheelchair is a game changer.
1:09 am
grannyrose

the acceptance is so important to them. and with the wheelchair came just a touch more freedom and independence.
1:09 am
rururocks

When I need a wheel chair later in life I am going to be hell on wheels
1:09 am

the world is going to be full of geriatrics in motorised wheelchair. we will rule !!!
1:10 am
sprite

oh yes, we will!
1:13 am
grannyrose

i couldn't believe it when Don came home earlier. we have already qualified for free medications for the rest of the year. i think the government lowered to ceiling amount we had to spend on meds due to the financial struggle low income earners are having.
1:14 am
sprite

that is good news
1:15 am
grannyrose

such a relief. some of my meds have been quite expensive. we still have to pay for those ones, but at a greatly reduced rate.
1:15 am
sprite

it really helps if you do not have to pay the whole bunch
1:17 am
grannyrose

i don't know how the americans can afford their meds. i haven't heard any statistics yet, but i wonder how many people are dying because they cannot access the meds they need.
1:18 am
grannyrose

ruru?? do you know??
1:21 am
grannyrose

it is estimated that more than 1.1 million Medicare patients alone could die over the next decade because they cannot afford to pay for their prescribed medications.( from google)

8:17 am
crosshair

Little late to the party, but I am finally watching 1923, one of the two prequils to Yellowstone. It is very good. :)

Apparently the se8 is to do with stamps - normally it has a hyphen in it
12:36 pm

if tiptoe is a word, then toetip should be a word, don't you think?
12:37 pm
penquis

and isn't a ballerina a toeist?
12:37 pm

idk, that's like saying if carseat is a word then so should be seatcar... dogear, eardog... necktie, tieneck

yes....most of the cases there are in kids that weren't vaccinated...
12:46 pm
Shirlockc

were you expecting word from RFK?
12:46 pm

He's in charge of the Centre for Disease Control

i was actually thinking I should ask my doc about a booster for my measles vax esp if it's going to be another epidemic
12:49 pm
Shirlockc

i know i got one as a kid but that was years and years ago
12:49 pm
penquis

most people shouldn't need one, but you can ask your doctor....
12:50 pm
ch1212

My hope is that the parents who haven't yet vaxed their kids will reconsider. My brother-in-law is anti-vax, but when one of his daughters landed in critical care from COVID, and another developed a heart problem from her case of COVID, he has reconsidered and now promises to get them vaxed.
12:50 pm
Shirlockc

i also did get measles once after the vax, but again years and years
12:51 pm
penquis

that's sad, ch....
12:52 pm

yes. Both daughters are teens, and even now they are still recovering after months. The one with the heart issue is due for surgery next month to fix it.
12:52 pm

hope everything goes well for her.....
12:53 pm

thank you. In Texas, I sincerely hope those other parents will reconsider vaccinating their kiddos.
12:54 pm

yes!
1:05 pm

shirl, you can have a blood test to check if the measles protection is still there
1:05 pm
hurshy

i know because i did an internship at a hospital in the fall, and i had to get various vaxes or show that they were still active
1:06 pm

and my measles antibodies were still doing great after all these years. i was so proud of them.
