A very frustrating couple of days for me…
No real drama, no real threat to my health, just a lot of niggling aggravations that added up to a whole lot of frustration.

First was the five hours on Monday when I thought my Invacare HomeFill II was on the fritz. I have had Oxygen condensers in the house since July of 2004 and never had a problem, not one.

Well, there was that time I took the whole contraption with me to DC and broke off the nozzle for the tube that connected the HomeFill with the Oxygen condenser. But that was because of my oafishness and not anything related to the machine.

Later on in the post I get into some political stuff.

"You can get the gist of George Voinovich’s concerns in this article from Fox News. Yes, that Fox News.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,179261,00.html

The one quote that struck me was this one by the senator.

Forcing a beneficiary to purchase medical equipment when they have no desire to is silly; it makes no sense," she said. "And from our selfish industry perspective, our customers lose their inventory. It's a rental industry and this puts the beneficiary at risk." "




Senators like Voinovich have been claiming to be financially prudent and yet they are very cavalier when it come to large contributors....

1. Well, you did promise to pull no punches, to tell us everything...
No matter if it was bad or good, and by god you're doing just that.

Very well written. Your frustration and anger just blister the page...

Voinovich needs to be tossed out on his well-padded ass. Financially prudent, sure.....with his money.

Keep 'em coming!

3. I guess Republicans just can't help themselves.
Collecting money is just a way of life.
