THE ESSENTIAL CONVERSATION ABOUT END OF LIFE

November 4, creeks are rolling. Took a trip to Yellville and there were signs that the water had covered the road in spots, and the little creeks were rolling right on. The creek at Yellville was huge, not up to the bridge but rolling right along. Drought one day and flood the next, go figure.

Appreciated what little rain we got this week. After a trip to Fayetteville to the diabetic doctor. We spent the night with Kim and had dinner with Tiffany and the kids, Khaleesi and Jackson. Don finally got an appointment on Thursday of last week to get an MRI done, but on the way home he complained of back and chest problems on to realize when he got home was blessed with a case of the Shingles after having three shingle shots. Been a miserable week but appreciate the Rev. Carl Wayne Chadwick family filling in for him on Sunday morning. Nieces Becky Blaire, Samantha Tyler, taking care of his needs. Sister Sue and Josh Farris, nephew also cooking and taking care of his chores. He went to see Dr. Jackson on Tuesday and said he was healing quite well, keep doing what he was doing.

What’s the difference between Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-gap, and any other “Medi” I might need to know about?
