Well, it's cancer, and $12-18,000 of my children's resources to possibly cure it.
They'd remove my right large intestine, the associated lymph stuff, and hope they got it all. Medicaid would pay, it could be done in 2-3 weeks from now, I'd be convalescing for a couple weeks, Christ House would put me up after 3 days in the hospital, and then, what to do for the next 6 weeks? My bowl would be unstable for another 6 weeks or so. Can I manage that on the streets?
That $12-18,000 belongs to my kids, all 204 billion. Should I take it from them? Is that the best way to serve them? Or, do I leave it for them.
Much to decide.
