Street People: Our Test Case - Blog Entry

Yes and thanks we knew that Darrell was not a violent man and our daughter spent the night in our room when he was here. I thought that Darrell could become a winner I was wrong. Most homeless people have underlying drug alcohol or mental problems.

Lisa, I almost forgot, this is another one of those cases that you talked about before, everyone promises the judge that the man will not come back to the home so the judge returns the child to the home, the man comes back and disaster.

Well I can see that you guys feel the way I do about this guy. Lisa, I worked in a prison one summer that I was in law school, you are right on point, this guy will have a tough time in prison, he deserves it.

Julie exactly why I made thw suggestion, I don't think our society could handle it though.

Crickett, you are so right, this is an emergency situation. Because it mainly happens among lower socio-economic people, it is overlooked by the legislature.

Glaucoma - Blog Entry

Aimee, I have had glaucoma for many years. It is well controleed by Timoptic drops (one in my left eye twice a day). I have to see an opthamologist twice a year because of that and because I have had cataract surgery (also at a young age) in both eyes. Once a year, I do what is called a visual field test, which is apparently, the best way to check for deterioration. I guess the main thing is to occasionally have the test. Particularly, elderly people do not get around to getting it done, and it is discovered too late. I am very thankful for the miracles of modern medicine, they have kept me from being blind or at least severely impaired.

We really wanted to help him. He grew up poor in the inner city and never could get out of the rut. Thank, Patti.

I agree completely Melody. I was always an hour or so away. Nancy would stay home with the children and I would go. It sounds like the bases will be covered. Pray hard.
