I still think that it can't be better that the 1977 one.

So, um, I just had a complete and total meltdown in the hospital cafeteria. We're out of cash, and none of the (very paltry) cafeterias here take credit cards.

This wouldn't normally cause a meltdown, but it's looking like S might need a pretty serious procedure here in SF before we can go back to LA. If she does, this will likely vastly increase the likelihood she'll get a transplant soon.

Yeah, a transplant soon sounds good, but if she gets a transplant before she qualifies for Medicare (which she can't get until February 2000), they won't cover her anti-rejection meds, which will cost $800 a month for basically the rest of her life.

Yeah, so... Rough day. And it's only noon-ish.

Geez. I wish I could do something to make it better. {{{Sean and S}}}

Oh Sean, that sucks! Please let S know that I'm thinking of her.

{{Sean + S}} That's more than a rough day.

askye, my undergrad was English and economics. I got my library degree after going to law school, which is how I ended up as a law librarian. I think you can go to library school with just about any experience and make it work, but computer and business degrees are looked on with favor now. If you think you want to be a special librarian (e.g., children's librarian, law librarian, etc.) you might focus on those topics, but you'd also need to consider a second master's (depending on what you wanted to do with your career and where you wanted to work).

Sean, isn't there a way to get catostrophic medicare? Dang, I'll have to ask my mom - she knows all the ins and outs of this stuff. Before all her kidney failure drama - she ran the End-Stage Renal Disease program for Kaiser hospitals - coordinating Medicare and all that stuff.

((S & Sean))

Sean, do you need me to drive up to San Francisco with some cash? I can certainly do it. I am working from home today (in San Bruno). Let me know. Others here can tell you I am not a bogey man.
