I did not see your reply many paragraphs ago!!!! When you speak of other nationalities ..I do see what is being said. I have dated an Italian man lately..whom I have known for years and years (went through school with). We seemed to really click, until it became evident that I would have to change who I was to be accepted into his family (my values.. and my past!!). He is a first generation Italian here in this country..so his heritage is very strong. I'm afraid I could not come up to the "line". First... because , physically I just can't!!!! Secondly...I am too "modern" for his parents (even though I am SUCH a lovely girl!!). This only became apparent to me recently, after pondering ..."what the hell happened??" I do not look at it as an insult at all..I know what I can deal with in that regard, so I am not judging them at all, I just know that the cultures are different...ok - cultural backgrounds are part of it too. When reference was made to just one culture..my hackles raised..my apologies!!!!! John..I am so sorry . I did not see your reply many paragraphs ago!!!!

The good thing is that because she is a Veterans widow..she gets private coverage at a private hospital...I am soooo glad about that!! The really weird thing is she is seeing the "bright" new surgeon in town, the one I had hoped to see next...but ran out of money!!! How ironic! She is scared and I don’t blame her.

First she has to have her third varicose veins surgery, to enable her to have surgery on her knee..which is collapsing (people make jokes about who is worse off!). She has had deep vein thrombosis (due to myself!!!!) and that in turn causes a major risk for any surgey to come. My Biggest concern is that I cannot look after her - post surgery. It tears my heart apart...I only found this out today. I have been at a total loss because I cannot help my mother at the age of 44!!!
