My Life As A Bleeding Heart Liberal

Walnut Creek doesn't have many homeless, but there are a few homeless people I see rather consistently driving around town. In particuliar there is a homeless fellow by the name of *John that I know. And by know I mean for the past 2 years when I see him and have cash I stop and give him some money and sometimes food. I've actually formed a routine for this, as I only drive through downtown in the AM when I need to get gas.

Why? Because he reminds me of my Dad; in more ways than just physical appearance. Do I mind that he probably drinks away my money? Not at all.

I'm officially worried; as I have not been able to find *John for the past several weeks. I'm hoping he hasn't been relocated.

PET scan update

The results from my mom's PET scan weren't awesome. Unfortunately they show cancer has returned to her bones, mainly her spine and pelvic bones. Her pain level is high, and at her Doctor's insistence they've put her on morphine in addition to her other pain meds.

Chemo was supposed to start yesterday. They are changing up the treatment, instead of a weekly treatment they are going with one that is every 21 days. She'll go get an infusion, and be sent home with 'bags' of chemo that will last 3 additional days. But with the Hurricane Ike bearing down on Houston her Doctor wisely chose not to start yesterday. So we're looking at her beginning this new treatment Tuesday.
