She sat across from me in the blank room, starring at the blank wall with fright in her eyes. Her mom was holding back tears that were trying to spring from her eyes. I sat calmly, but on the inside I felt like there was no hope left. My daughter was going to die.
“Well Mr. Flynn, we will treat her with chemotherapy, but that will only delay…you know,” Dr. Meeker carefully said hoping the teenager wouldn’t catch onto what he was saying. “Would you still care to even bothe….”
“Oh yes,” my wife interrupted, “we do care to bother.”
“Okay then, I will prescribe the drugs she has to take while going through chemotherapy. Just to advise you, it would be a good idea to gain hefty weight before her first appointment for chemotherapy. While she’s going through her treatments, she will be losing large amounts of weight.”
“Thanks for the advice. I will do more than my best to watch over her eating habits, but do you know how hard it will be to tell a teenage girl to gain weight?”
Mr. Meeker slowly turned to the little girl I once knew as a cheery, happy, healthy child, now fighting for not her life, but time. She walked into the hospital with rosy cheeks and a smile on her face thinking she was just having a bad headache …well those rosy cheeks turned a shade of ghostly white, that smile faded into a look a sadness, and that “headache” turned out to be a tumor in her brain. Mr. Meeker starred at her. He swayed over to her and gingerly put his freezing, cold, left hand on her pale skinned knee. Mr. Meeker then walked back to his computer and finished up some paperwork and prescriptions.
“Now that I have finished the paperwork do you have any questions?” asked the doctor. He was tapping his pen to the beat replaying in his head. He hope that one specific question wouldn’t be asked.
My wife and I shook our head still in awe, but suddenly the ghostly face looked up and murmured something. The sound of her voice was scarce. No one could understand what she was saying.
“What was that Abigail?” the doctor asked. He was edging toward the tip of his chair hoping she wouldn’t ask him the question he was avoiding.
She held her breath. There was no sound in the room and everyone was anticipating what Abigail was about to ask. The teary, serene face looked up at Mr. Meeker with a tint of curiosity in her eyes. “…if I’m going to die,” Abigail stammered, “…how much time do I have left?” Her lip began to quiver ever so slightly.
Mr. Meeker’s face turned a shade of white. This was the question he had been avoiding. He stopped tapping his pen and the room was in pure silence.“I was getting to that point next,” the doctor said ever so slowly. “You see a new invention called the Ticking Clock, a machine that is so rare that no other people in the world know of such an invention, is available here in this hospital. It is locked up on the third floor. The Ticking Clock tells you how much time you have left before you die. For this situation, we are allowed to have access to it, but there are drawbacks to knowing when you are going to die. Your days will seem shorter and you’ll know time is running out. Your worst fear will be when the clock strikes twelve at midnight and you know a new day has come. For your own sake I recommend you do not use this machine and just live your life like you normally do.”
I know I still have some editing and adding on to do…but could you give your overall opinion of the plot? Thanks again!
Thanks everyone for your opinion…I am only 14 so I am still in the learning process…my idea is that the Ticking Clock will tell Abigail how much time she has left to live…through the events after she will live her life to the fullest…when it is a few moments before Abigail dies she state something that will get the themes further across to the reader…the themes are: to live life to its fullest, live everyday like it’s your last, time flies by

I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

1. If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents,
you’re ‘exotic, different.’

– Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, you’re a quintessential
American story.

2. If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

– Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.

3. Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

– Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well
grounded.

4. If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become
the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a
voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend
12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a
State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people,
become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate
representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131
bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public
Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real
leadership experience.

– If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000
people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second
highest ranking executive.

5. If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches,
you’re not a real Christian.

– If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a
Christian.

6. If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber
of society.

– If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with
no other option in sex education in your state’s school system
while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very
responsible.

7. If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position
in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner
city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your
family’s values don’t represent America’s.

– If you’re husband is nicknamed ‘First Dude’, with at least one
DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to
vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that
advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is
extremely admirable.

I have had severe chronic pain for the last seven years that has slowly degenerated. I am now at the point that I have to be very careful how much I do in a day or I’ll find myself spending the next day in bed, unable to do anything, a big price for each full day. I get tired easily, hurt easily, and am very slow….

Well, a friend recommended that I visit her chiropractor. I did, and he found several problems that were making my condition much worse. First, my hips are tilted to the point that my right leg is half an inch shorter (not really…the tilt of the hip lifts the leg half an inch off). My tailbone is not in line properly, which makes it more difficult to sit comfortably. My knee caps are out of place, so that the cap rubs at the cartiledge whenever I walk. Several bones in my wrists are out of place, causing pain when I type, read, etc. These are all minor problems compared to the last one, however.

The top two vertabrae of my neck have slipped to the left, placing pressure on my spinal column. Additionally, my neck has an eleven degree curve instead of the proper forty-five degree curve. This causes my skull to be forward from my body. The slip of the vertabra have caused my skull to further slip to the left…so, my skull is slanted and forward, a very uncomfortable position that puts great pressure on my entire spinal column and brain stem.

I also have seizures that are related to my condition (undiagnosed, but they think it might be fibromyalgia) somehow.

So, I went to the chiropractor three times a week for two weeks and twice he third week. By the end of the third week, I no longer had to walk with a support cane, nor did I need to lean on my boyfriend’s arm or take repeated breaks if I walked more than ten feet. My pain levels were minimal, and I was no longer requiring twice daily pain killers (Ultracet, because the doctor’s afraid I’ll get addicted too fast to Percocet or Oxycodone, and I agree). Every visit to the chiropractor, my health was drastically improved.

However, Medicaid’s policy is to pay for only 8 visits per year. My chiropractor said we’ve barely touched the tip of the iceburg, that he needs to see me at least twice a week for six months or more before I’ll be able to say I’m recovering (each visit was followed by a step back if I did not see him soon after).

My chiropractor said that the need was there, and that he didn’t see any reason why Medicaid should deny payment for further treatments, since this is a severe condition that needs extensive treatment. However, lo and behold, they denied me. According to Medicaid, because my condition is not “life-threatening,” they will not pay for further treatments.

I am on SSI and SSDI, and as a military wife I get Tricare Prime, but Tricare covers *no* percentage of chiropractorial visits. I spend more than half of my monthly disability on bills alone, and an additional portion goes toward upkeep of the apartment, groceries, and pet care for my emotional support cat (for anxiety, borderline personality, and comfort when I am so sick I can’t get out of bed).

How much chance do I have of being granted approval through the appeal process, and how should I go about appealing. I do not have funds for an attorney, nor can I pay the out-of-pocket cost for chiropractorial visits (more than $100 per visit, totaling $800 per month at the rate of twice a week, which is what my chiropractor says should be a minimum).

Any help would be appreciated@!

OK, much clearer now.

I was in a car wreck 15 months ago and there were no witnesses. It was my word against theirs( 3 of them against me). I am being sued 15 months later. I am letting my lawyer from the insurance company handle all of this. My husband is the only one working in the family. I am a stay at home mom who take cares of a mentally handicap( Autistic) full time and I go to college full time at night. Will they take everything I have if we dont have any assets? We have 1 car and my husband works full time. I also found out the people that are suing me have had 5 different lawsuits in the past 7 years and the man who is suing me has also been arrested for DWI,resisting arrest( and hitting an officer) and marijuna possession. I think him and his wife like to go around suing people and I’m afraid they will try to take more then they insurance will pay. How come people are so greedy? They are also asking for phone records on that day to see if I was talking on the phone or texting. The only time I used my cell phone was about 5 minutes after the wreck when I called the police and my husband to let him know what was going on. That was my first and only wreck I have ever been in and now this. I have no way to prove they caused the wreck because it was my word against theirs. Me and my husband llive paycheck to paycheck and we barely make it with what he makes. My insurance policy says I had 25,000,50,000,25,000 and these greedy people want more. Isn’t that why we have insurance to prevent from getting sued? What exactly is a judgement? Should I give up going to college( I graduate next year with a degree in teaching special ed) since my wages will go to the people who are suing me?

there is this movie where a guys wife drove drunk once. then when she came home she got into a fight with her husband. then he pushed her down the stairs. her neck was broke and her husband had to take her to the doctor. her wrist was also broken. then she got put into this coffin alive. during the movie, she wants to live forever and this lady puts pink potion in her hand. at the end of the movie, the guy almost drank the potion. at the end, they dont remember where they parked the car. what is the movie called? i dont remember. or at least guess.

These three guys got together one day and were talking about how drunk they got at a party the night before.
The first guy said, ”Man I was so drunk last night I went home and blew chunks.”

The second guy said, ”Man that was nothing I was so drunk last night I was driving home and I got my DWI.”

The third guy says, “Man that was nothing. I was so drunk last night I was driving home and I picked up a prostitute and my wife caught us in bed.”

Then the first guy said, ”No — you guys don’t understand! Chunks is my dog!”
