May 12

She’s afflicted with Guillain-Barre syndrome and is paralyzed. She has a nurse come in the morning and evening to take care of her urine drainage bag, clean her catheter and wipe her privates. She has a big van come to take her to doctors, family and friends run her errands and get her food, wash her laundry, clean her house while she sits on her butt. She’s not allowed to own anything so she can receive benefits. She was a great friend to help with things like she did for me..install my faucets in my kitchen n bathroom, hang curtains, fixed my kitty door and many other things as she was quite handy with tools. Remarks like recipients just sit around all day is repulsive and ignorant..especially from the likes of Rick Scott.
