The Tortas were off on an adventure of a different sort this past weekend. Lisa was hospitalized for some tests to discover the source of a nagging abdominal pain turned severe. It’s been going on for quite sometime, but as she is a disabled veteran without health insurance (not able to be on my health insurance since we cannot legally marry) the wheels turn very slowly at the Veterans Administration. That being said, my planned blog will be postponed for now. I cannot close without saying that veterans deserve better medical treatment than they are getting. I viewed a hospital that is understaffed and without infrastructure to handle it’s patient load. This problem started last September and has taken this long due to delays of crucial tests. Finally showing up at the ER on Friday took 9 hours and repeated demands for pain medication. But we are optimistic and very grateful to the kind staff that are keeping her comfortable until we can figure out what is causing this problem. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Until next week dear readers.

I agree with you, the treatment of vets in all areas, the most important being health care, is near to criminal.
With that having to be said, our thoughts go out to you and Lisa, buena suerta, amigas.

Good Morning, Thank you so much for your email re Lisa. Please keep me posted as to her tests, how she is feeling, etc. She mentioned this problem on the phone when I talked with her while she was in Bakersfield. I am very interested and concerned. I certainly will pray for her relief, recovery and that you can get on with plans for moving to Mexico. She is very dear to me and I appeciate her immensely, so please pass along my love, good and loving thoughts to her. Great Aunt Edna
