Bob,

I'm normally optometrist, but I have so much stacked against me; age (79); general health; prior major health issues (stroke); ad infinitum so I really don't expect my wife nor myself to make it through this crisis.

Also, I see countless violations of safe health practices that none of we patients will survive and the other homes are even worse. The local hospital and the VA no longer recommend this home and that's a death-blow. Mysteriously, State Health Inspectors are blind to the violations. Are they being bribed? I am helpless to dig deeper for fear of retaliation.

My kids have become involved so my level care is about to improve soon. My youngest son calls daily to check on my quality of care.
