Your excellent essay
MandaLee, this is a very moving piece. The way you connect the personal to the political is so compelling. And very well written.

Thanks for sharing that. It's such a complicated issue; I'm a nurse and see it first hand.

It is wonderful to be able to look BACK on such a painful situation, one
that is now PAST. Hopefully Hillary Clinton will have an easier time reforming healthcare insurance in future and it is good that you are providing evidence for improvements that the healthcare system in this country needs. Thanks for sharing....

I have known those arrogant doctors
who think they know better than the patient ALWAYS. I agree that the healthcare system is embarrassing and it is unforgiveable the unfairness of the "system" as it were.
Unfortunately, I do not have to imagine the hot pins pain thing. Thankfully it is only an intermittent thing. Daily is the more manageable dull pins and needles thing, but on my hands rather than feet currently.
But, to me it is "normal" so when people ask me how I am, I am just great!

Sweet MandaLee,
I feel as you do about the state of health care in this country. I am deeply sorry for all the pain you endured, and that it took so long to be able to resolve your situation...but I am thankful that you are healed now.
God bless you.
