So are you suggesting that we not be truthful with our physicians? 😏

Beautiful, I would imagine that it also has an impressive price tag.

Thought about gold 5 months ago, but didn't act. Went all cash last Dec., at 3% guaranteed. I know I have missed the highs and lows, plan to stay right where I am, at least until this virus is under control.

The Auburn Creed I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work. I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully. I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men. I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities. I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all. I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all. I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God." And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it. -George Petrie (1943)

We made it home. She didn't want to go by ambulance, so we went on my Genesis, smooth ride. Hopefully we can keep her comfortable and she can enjoy the time she has left. I have always felt it, but times like this, makes me realize what a special community of people FOH is. All your thoughts and prayers are truly appreciated.

Mom broke her ankle back in Nov 19, and my wife(a saint) and I have been staying with her most of the time since. She was 89 then and had recovered well from the surgeries. We had started going home for a week here and there and getting life back to normal. Her 90th birthday was on the 25th of June, had a great time. She got to see her great grand child for the first time, my daughter's. A couple of days after I noticed that my mom's feet were swollen, so off to the doctor went. Doc sent us straight to the hospital and she was admitted with congestive heart failure. Her cardiologist determined that one of her valves was constricted and she need a transplant, that could be done thtough a vein in her groin. After discussing this with my mom, she decided to have it done, since they wouldn't have to open her chest up. Her cardiologist transferred her to UAB hospital ( 200mi away) to have it done there. All going to plan, great doctors, facilities, ect. After running the last tests before surgery, they discovered another valve( mitral) was ripped and was the real culprit causing her issues. The only way to fix it would be open heart surgery, which the doctor felt like she had a 90% chance of recovery, due to her overall health. Well mom decided she doesn't want to be opened up and just wants to go home. I have power of attorney over her health, and my heart says to get her to have the surgery. But it's her choice, nothing at all wrong with her mind. It still doesn't make the decision any easier. So tomorrow or the next day, we go home with hospice.
