From Liquor to Revision

Some people choose liquor
Some people choose weed
I load up on chocolate
When I am in need

Celebrate with Fiorella--she finally tracked down a way to get her coumadin-thinned blood checked on a monthly basis. As you will remember, Austin Heartless fired its coumadin nurses a while back and hooked up with a company that provides patients with contraptions with which we're supposed to prick our own fingers, then send the coded info back to the mother office, which sends it on to Austin Heartless. Fio couldn't bring herself to follow through so friend Marie, a former coumadin nurse, was kind enough to drive out to Fio's house to do the job.
     Fio knew the arrangement couldn't last forever, but she was caught by surprise when Marie's son needed extra care night and day. Nothing for Fiorella to do but pray for both of them and seek another way to handle her own situation--which she did today. It took three hours of going from pillar to post, but she finally located a blood-letting operation she can depend on--for now, at least.
     She also learned something else along the way which surprised her---that she isn't the only person who can't wound herself. Her doctor's nurse confessed she couldn't do it either.

Yes, Fio admit the above has been revised. She often looks over previous posts and readjusts them to suit her fancy. It's legal--she's the original source.
