The calico which I assume is Cali the lost is now a regular visitor. I don't know where she's been but I'll bet she's got tales to tell. She's very skittish so she eats and runs. She wasn't really here long enough to get to know me before she escaped so I reckon it will take some time for her to warm up. For a cat who had never been outside before, she has survived quite nicely. Meanwhile, Rosie is snuggled against my back purring up a storm.
I have more medical appointments next week including a blood draw for the nephrologist and a Prolia injection. Those suckers bill for 5800 bucks! My co-pay on that is 200. This will be my last of four and there will be discussion about the nephro stopping the calcium supplement. I sure don't need another kink in the hose.
In my heart, I truly believe I've had Covid. Maybe more than once. I remember in late 2020 before the tests and shots came out being deathly ill with night sweats and pure misery. That could explain the kidney damage. With over 1 million deaths in a little over two years, I feel lucky. Now onto rights.
I was a senior in high school when Roe v Wade hit SCOTUS and abortion became legal. It gave women the power to make choices concerning their own bodies if they were not financially able to care for an oopsie or the child was not viable. That so called Christians are doing their best to take that choice away really makes me mad. Who is going to take care of these fetuses that are born with no family unit. I suggest that all these folks who are against a woman's right to choose adopt about five of them like Jesus would do. When Lauren became pregnant with Reaves it was a much less than ideal situation, yet she chose to have what would be her only child. LP herself was an only child because I chose it to be that way. My husband ( not so ) willingly had a vasectomy because it was much simpler than me having my tubes tied. One office visit and snip snip, it was over. We knew that it was not feasible for us to have another child even though it was a miracle that Lauren was conceived. God works in his own time and knows all. I do not believe that the almighty nor Jesus would approve of all the hoopla that's going on right now. If the decision is overturned, there will be many unwanted children born and a lot of women will die trying to do the coat hanger thing. These same people have also gone ballistic over something as simple as using placental tissue for medical purposes. As Americans we have rights that are being taken away at every turn. It is indeed scary.
For all you one woman/one man save the babies folks, I understand where you are coming from. But that does not make you right. God is the judge, not you and your church doctrine. If I could tell you how many people I have seen die in agony because the medical system failed them in a humanitarian way it would make your head spin. Nobody wants to die, but sometimes it is in the plan. I've never understood why the hospice philosophy never caught on except that we as humans are stingy and don't have the faith that there is a better life spiritually than dying in agony.
Peace and grace ^j^
Hey Janie, it's your birth sister JoAnn. We have always agreed to disagree and I highly respect that for us and I think that's helped our relationship a lot. But the only thing I want to say is on the abortion, to me it sounds like murder for convenience. I don't know where responsibility planning, thought process, being sober and respecting yourself enough to be in control of your actions comes in. Taking responsibility for your actions. Everybody knows that they can get pregnant if they do certain things. A child is born and God helps them find their way most of the time they're adopted into a good family. Or they just becoming an amazing person. I've seen more amazing people whose parents were going to abort them but they came out just helping the world. And yes, there are horrible stories about the lost ones who were thrown away . But, murder! Again I won't change you, you won't change me but that's just the way I see abortion. It is definitely murder when that baby's conceived it needs water it needs food, it needs things to grow it has a heartbeat it. It just just wanted to take my opinion there. Love you sister and as I said we're ready to disagree. Keep writing and keep the faith. The bottom line is not "religion" as much as a true spiritual relationship with God, and surrender to His Will and not our Will.
