And if it hadn’t been for my sweet friend Becks, that would have never happened. I may have told y’all ( I KNOW I did in the blog) that I was slowly running out of meds, because I lost my COBRA insurance, and it was Becky who, a few months back found me this clinic which treats patients who have no insurance and charges them a sliding scale fee (click on the subject line to take you to their site). My new doc (a very nice “Doogie Howser” type who D says “looks like he belongs on a skateboard”) did a very thorough examination with lots of blood work drawn, wrote scrips for all my meds (including the depression ones), and I was only charged 25% of what the whole thing would have cost me had I not been on a sliding scale! He even did a prostate exam (with blood - not with the finger up the “poop-chute”!) and checked my vitamin D level (for the bones and arthritis). All in all, a very thorough exam, a very nice doc and a sweet friend who found him for me. A sweet friend whom I have never met, who is VERY special to me - someone who would think so much of someone they’ve never laid eyes on, made sure I got some great medical care! Thank you, Becky for being such an angel! I LOVE YA’! > **[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=bOqyygAQSX0)** > > Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

That’s wonderful! Thanks for restoring my faith in human beings this morning.
