Would You Be Willing To Report A Family Member For Financial Elder Abuse?

It would take some nerve to report an abusive family member to law enforcement. We also know from the National Center on Elder Abuse that most abusers are family members. And they tell us that only 44 out of 1000 instances of abuse are reported to authorities. Why aren’t more cases reported to the very authorities capable of stopping the abusers?

Can you Trust a Cheater?

I have a sister Jo Ann that cheated on her first husband. I think you can tell much about a person's character after an event like that. Today, she lacks integrity and character. I think there might be selfish gene in her DNA.

Colonoscopy Side Effects - Runny Nose from Oxygen

Recently, I was given Propofol (Michael Jackson's Med) during a Colonoscopy and when I woke up in the Hospital Recovery Room, I had a runny nose. Additionally, I noticed that my face was very red around in the area around my nose. That night, I had a really terrible headache (probably the Propofol) until I finally took some Tylenol. But 48 hours later, I was still sneezing and had that runny nose. Despite several sinus washes per day (using my Netti Pot) I was still very uncomfortable. When I finally called the doctor, he told me that it was caused by the the unfiltered oxygen that was used in the tubes of my nose. I don't recollect having this issue during my first Colonoscopy. I will say that the runny nose was probably worse than the Gatorade and Pre-Colonoscopy Colon Cleanse. At least with the Colon Cleanse, I saw the benefit in shedding a few pounds. There is no benefit to a runny nose. The next time I am in the Hospital and they ask me if I had any allergies, I am going to tell them about the 48+ Hour Runny Nose. We'll see if they do things differently. Unfortunately, with today's medical care, a patient must sometimes be his or her own quarterback. Reference: Photo from Wikipedia
