I know your feeling Lou. My wife and I moved into a retirement home four and a-half years ago eith skilled nursing home facilities and they gave us reccomendation of Doctor at a nearby clinic. We had all of our medical record sent to Doc. Wife fell one evening and I pulled the emergency cord. After sometime a nurse showed up and said, "Do you need help". "Oh she just has a stomach ache. Drink some warm water". Later wife started screaming. I called 911 and to the hosptal we went. Doc said she was Anemic and she came back to our apartment. Three weeks later woke up screaming again. I just called 911 and back to the hospital, x-ray and tests. Children came from as far as two hundred miles in time to hear the Doc's diagnosis. Gall bladder surgery after the surgery the surgeon came and said she had a perforated bleeding ulcer with complications. Remember she was diagnosed earlier as Anemic, Dosn't lose of blood cause being Anemic? Back to skilled nursing. Wife kept going down hill, got so she did not know me. I kept trying to talk to Doc. Wife lost 40 lbs. I was one mad, raving, maniac. Kept kids informed by e-mail. Got a call one morning. It was son. Dad get ready we are coming into town to get Mom. He had a signed Power of attorney to make Moms medical decisions. He walked up to the desk and threw down the papers and said, "I am taking mom out of here". There was a lot of mumbling around has he put a coat on her and lifted in a wheel chair and placed her in the car. He had made arrangements to take her to the hospital in our home town. They and our old Doctor were waiting. In 96 hours they had diagnosed what was wrong, moved her to a large medical center with a nerosurgeon operated on her brain and she was back in the local hospital. She had NPH (google NPH to read about it). She is in a nursing in a wheel chair and cannot control body functions. She knows everyone and can set and play the piano. Yes, I contacted a big attorney and they would not touch it. The moral of this story is to have the necssary paper signed so some one you trust can have control for you. Sign those papers with someone you trust in charge when you can't be. Thank god for our son. I am back on the farm living with him. girib

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
