Mmm.

I'd try this again. I hear how good it is...friend made it for DH and I, and a couple others. We didn't like at all .

If you follow the recipe, you'll be fine. The recipe should boil down to:

• A whole heap of spices, mixed with yoghurt.
• Marinade then cook.
• Sometimes add peas and herbs during the cooking process.

....is that a TECHNICAL term?

We went out for Chinese food to celebrate Kady's birthday. Marisa is having her party on Sunday but Jeff worked last night so Buddy wanted to do a little something for her. Tonight is probably a Polynesian chicken and leftover spaghetti and sauce. I have a lot of meatballs and sausage to. Marisa dn Kady are coming over so Marisa and I cn work on our spreadsheet class together. We have a test due so we figure we can both take it and get it over with. It is a times 60 minute test WE will stat the next tutorial if there is time after that.

Where Indian food is concerned.....

Where Indian food is concerned.....

....well, okay then....

Last night I baked chicken and we had that with leftovers. I am heading to the Dr with Buddy and he will drop me at Marisa's. It is our first book club meeting so I think I will eat food there. Buddy will turn that fridge full of food into sandwiches.

....WFDT? That's the last thing on my mind today.....going to visit my brother down the shore, in the hospital....he has to have his foot amputated either today or Monday.... I'm so upset.....and my mom called, crying, because she can't do anything, since she lives in Puerto Rico....

Oh god. I'm so sorry.

 

[kimmar067]

....well, it's good ol' "Obamacare" at its finest....his infection was actually getting better until his insurance ran out, so the treatment was stopped.....he's been in the hospital since Monday....

Wow. I don't even know what to say.

I'm so sorry! Sending prayers and good wishes your way and for your brother. Wish I could do more.

Kimmar. I'm so sorry to read this and I'm so upset for you and your family. It is completely inconcievable to imagine losing a foot in today's 'modern medicine' world and I, too, wish I could do more.

I just find this whole situation inconceivable. Like PIO said, in today's age of medicine. What stupid pencil pusher could allow a decision like that to be made? Especially if progress was being made! It absolutely astounds me! Did he have some kind of wound like Fran? Was it an ulcer of some sorts? She has diabetes too so I know that the feet are particularly problematic.

....over the summer he was in S.C. on the beach and was standing on the hot sand for longer than he should have been. He's lost almost all feeling in his feet and he got a 2nd-degree burn. Within a week, it got infected and he's been in and out of the hospital 2 other times. They had to cut out quite a big part of the underneath part of his foot because of the gangrene and cover it with a skin graft and he was having a visiting nurse come 3 days a week to empty the cylinder that was attached to a vacuum thing on the wound (I forgot what it's called) that sucked out all the infection and loose pus or whatever. Well, about 2 weeks ago, the last nurse that came to his house, pulled that thing off too hard (?) and ripped the skin graft off the bottom of his foot, but DIDN'T EVEN TELL HIM! Suddenly, no one came for a week; he kept trying to call the nursing company but they gave him the runaround, until finally they said that his insurance ran out so they would not be providing any services. He went back to the doctor who yelled at him about the missing skin, which of course, he had no idea that it was, in fact, missing. However, by this past weekend the infection spread throughout his body and he got violently ill so he was rushed to the hospital. The infection is in the bones of his feet, so they have no choice but to cut it off. The docotr said it had deteriorated his toe bones, making them brittle and his toes were broken.....

I know nothing about this stuff.... but is it okay for her to rip skin off and not tell anyone?
Surely there's maybe a malpractice thing, or something similar in there? HE's losing his foot... and if that's to blame?

........believe me, my sister and I were wondering the same thing...

Might be worth looking into. It might not, either. I don't know law... but. It sounds shady.
