This story was too funny. You have such a way with words. I love how you thought about getting your "glorious mane" back. I can't wait to hear more about the "hormone nightmare of 2015" Well done!

Your six makes me feel a lot better. Working on the nightmare now. Talk about frustration!
Comment from TheWriteTeach
Good grief, Shari. It is one problem after another. I don't know how you deal with it. You must be a strong person to keep going, like the Energizer Bunny. Although I can't think you're energized. You have to be completely woren out. God bless you. As always, you're both in my prayers.

I am worn out, Suzanne. It wouldn't be so bad if Frank didn't have memory problems as well as stiff legs.
Comment from boxergirl
I hate it when doctors assume we know all the ins and outs...like the prescription being for 12 shots...geez...hopefully, you can get the shot and Frank will have more quality of life.

I rely more and more on the internet to get the best information.
Comment from DALLAS01
Looking forward to the next post. I think what I like best about your writing style is that you get straight to the point and do not waste a lot of words. Every word has a purpose. I think there is a connection between poets who like the short forms and this style.

Comment from Muffins
Dealing with my father through his cancer, we quickly discovered that the patient ask to ask as many questions as possible. However, doctors should no better than to leave anything out. And if they do, they ought to call with the information. You and Frank went through a lot. Alzheimer's or dementia is the devil's disease. It happens to a person regardless of how healthy they were or what they ate. I don't envy Frank getting shots.

He takes four shots a day for his diabetes, so this one didn't phase him. LOL
Comment from Gloria ....
Ha, love your humour about resting your head on Frank's tits to grow back your glorious mane. Sigh, if only it were as simple as that.
Thank goodness the rash was easily solvable.
This is a must read book for many people who are likely dealing with many of these things and have no one to talk to.
Can't wait to find out about the Hormone nightmare.
Great writing and a most informative story.

The red chest was horrifying. He also has some on his face. Thank goodness, we don't have to wait weeks to get an appointment with the dermatologist.
Comment from Donya Quijote
Compiling problems mounting. Thank goodness you are a keen observer. I think your diagnosis was a good one, but there are always consequences, right? And you caught that rash before it developed into something worse...
Man boobs is such a funny term. There are so many like it. Man bun, etc.
Your humor shines through again: bit about regaining your thick mane by rubbing the areas on your man's chest and playing Russian roulette with medication's side effects.
That medicaid gap is so wrong, designed for profit in excess for the pharmaceutical companies. Wrong, wrong...
A nit to check:
But I thought each shot would cost and we'd be paying $300 per month. >> This sentence seems awkward to me, like it is missing something necessary to make it make sense. Consider rewriting...

Thanks, Diane, for your comments on my humor. Doctors are so busy these days, I play the role and use the internet.
I'll check out the nit.
Back to the classroom, yet? Hope you have good classes this year.
Comment from Thomas Bowling
You use lots of dialog. I like this. It moves the story along and holds the reader's interest. Dialog is a tool that a lot of writers don't use.

I love to write dialogue as in stage plays. Thanks for noting it. A four star review means something needs to be approved.
Any suggestions?
Comment from Mary Wakeford
OMG, this sounds like a nightmare. "You could put testosterone gel on your chest, but if your wife gets close, she'll be growing hair on her hands or face."
Good thing Frank doesn't need a epi pen in addition to the thyroid injections! And weren't we told all things medical were going to get less expensive with the Affordable Care Act...what a damn joke.
I really can feel your pain in this writing, but you somehow manage to still make a serious medical situation and care giver exhaustion and concern entertaining; "Gee, my hair is thinning. I wondered if I could rest the back of my head on his tits and get my glorious mane back."
I look forward to your next chapter, Shari. Hang in there, doll.

Thanks, Mary, for mentioning the humor in my post. It's a wonderful compliment that you feel my pain, because it is there.
The next chapter, you'll see anger and frustration.
Yes, the ACT keeps our doctors so busy, a wait can last longer than an hour.
Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
My goodness Shari, you all have had your share.
I can't say, I enjoyed the story, as it vividly described things I
wish were not happening to my friends in Florida, however, I certainly appreciated every word you penned.
Take care and I will try to catch your post occasionally.
We are flying with obligations here in Missouri...

Hey, I wondered what happened to you. It's been one heck of a year so far for learning lessons. Sigh... Thanks for taking time to read.

Hi Shari, Larry and I have been swamped with activities, travel and church work. I have been painting a lot with a number of commissions that are time sensitive. I love it, however, I have to cut somewhere and Fanstory is it. I miss the daily reading, hopefully will get caught up when we take a travel month in November. I pray you and Frank are doing well. Fondly, Carol
