You couldn't have drawn a more fitting cartoon to end this dismal year.  It's funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Maybe it's because I am getting older and feel my age more, but I don't see anything on the horizon that gives me hope.  I know, I used both the words "hope and change".  Ironic isn't it? Maybe, just maybe we can elect more responsible representatives, but most people these days only see what the media dishes out.  I am going to kick back, enjoy my golden years, and leave politics to the younger generation.  Mine has done it's duty.

It has beeb a crazy year- of which I will write when I can be cooherent about it all. Let's just say that I have had more than one insurance company battle- none of which I have ever won. Mom had a stroke in May- the hospital she had been admitted to for vomiting ended up giving her TYLENOL when she complained of an excruciating headache centered in her left eye forehead area. Her speech was sluured, she was not making sense and they give her TYLENOL???? She ended up attempting to get out of bed, fell, was rushed down for a CAT scan and transferred to a another hospital. Where they ran every available test and procedure they could. Guess once she had been diagnosed with a stroke it freed up the money? Ten days later she was in rehab- less than a week after she was sent home as it was deemed we could adequately care for her- on no less than eight different meds! No good is ever going to come of any of this insurance crap! At least we still have Mom with us- for which we are grateful! Pat- as usual your cartoons and commentary are right on the money.
