Clovice spoke with Leslie earlier today. Laurie was operated on this morning and was resting comfortably in ICU. She will be in ICU until tomorrow, and in the hospital for several days therafter.
Still unknown – the extent of the cancer, who will take care of her after she returns home, who will pay for follow-up treatment.
This saddens me, so I have taken action. On Sunday Dec 28th, I’ve organized a town hall discussion on Health Care after our Unitarian Universalist community service at the Kelseyville Senior Center. It’s in response to a request by the Obama transition team for these meetings to be held during the month of December – they’re looking for community input into this pressing and urgent problem.
It’s not just the president’s responsibility – each of us must step up to the plate, raise our voices, and take action to create the change we can believe in. No one should have to go through what Laurie and Leslie are going through. No one.
