Aw, it’s only $50, vapor. You can afford it. 😈
😆 That is one good thing they are affordable. I like the signed ones for ten dollars more the best 😀
Ha I just learned to email less than a year ago. I love the computer now and it is so much easier to collect Windstones.
Cool, I was wondering the same thing. Mostly pieceful but can kick ass when needed, I like. Thanks starbreeze.
I want them in all colors too but would not mind if you took a little time to release anything new. I have to save for the big dragons 😆

I have been taking shots for more than 20 years now and it sucks but it could be worse I know. It sounds like your friend should have surgery now before it gets worse, part of a foot or part of a leg sounds easy to decide. Diabetics take forever to heal and if the doctors are saying infection is that deep, well its not good obviously. My prayers go out to your friend and I hope they can get threw this horrible deal.
Biggest thing is that he’s spent the last 6 years fighting for medical assistance. He lost his job and house when he developed Type II diabeties, and hasn’t been able to hold more than a part time job since. He usually loses any job he gets within a few months because of continued problems with ongoing infections.
He finally was able to convince Social Security that he is disabled, after the loss of 3 toes. They put him under a microscope, but finally came to the conclusion that due to the resulting damage to his legs and feet that he is unemployable and disabled. If he had been able to get help 6 years ago, that would not be the case. But due to the lack of medical care in this country for uninsured folks, he and others will continue to end up in this situation.
Most annoying thing is that the medical folks he is dealing with now keep telling him how he should have handled things and how he should have somehow convinced a bunch of physicians along the way to treat him for free. And somehow get all his meds and testing supplies provided somehow as well. If he didn’t have Medicare now, his diabeties meds would be $420 a month!
They blame him for his situation, like he ever wanted to be diabetic, losing bits of himself and losing his house and good job. Yeah, he did all that on purpose, just for kicks! Grrr…We finally told the last doctor that we did not want to discuss the past, we just wanted to go from where we were, their opinions of how things were handled were not needed. It didn’t make them happy with us, but you try to treat diabetes without money or health insurance and see how well you manage to keep it under control.
Anyway, this morning he announced that he is going to go ahead and schedule the surgery at the next appointment. He’s scared, and worried, but I think he is making the right decision. With luck, by the end of Nov. he will be healed up and walking again.

I have to pay for all my meds out of pocket and it is expensive. It sucks sometimes but I can at least live a pretty normal life. I have lost a few jobs in the past because of various things having to do with being diabetic. I’m glad your friend is finally getting help. Hope everything goes well for your friend, I know he is scared, I would be terrified but tell him to be brave, stay strong and keep his head up.
