My mom has an acquaintance who is financially challenged. Her acquaintance, Mariano, is nearing the age of 64 and does not have any relatives to care for him, so my mom suggested he avail of Medicare and Medicaid. To help him, my mom asked me to do some research and I was surprised at the Medicare and Medicaid Resources available online.
In case you are not aware, a Medicare is a, “Federal program that covers health care for individuals age 65 and over, and some people with disabilities.” A Medicaid on the other hand is “A program, funded by the federal and state governments, which pays for medical care for those who can’t afford it.” As I read on, Help with Medicaid and Medicare is actually a necessity because the cost of long term care can quickly drain even a substantial savings account.

Anyhow, after gathering a lot of information, I gave it to my mom, she helped Mariano process his papers, and is now only waiting for the final approval to be able to avail of the program.

A Private Surgery

We are a family consisting of father, mother and four children. After the birth of our youngest member of the family, mother through the doctor’s advice underwent the labia surgery.

I do recall, what my Mom told us about her reaction after having given birth to her first born. According to her, few days after the delivery, she got a cosmetic mirror and inspected her private part, her vagina. She couldn’t believe of the changes she saw, for it is not in the perfect shape anymore.

After several years and having given birth to additional three children through normal delivery, the doctor advised her to undergo labia surgery. At first, Mom was hesitant, but after receiving words of encouragement and having understood the benefits of such surgery, she consented and she was operated on successfully. Today, Mom is more confident and a very active secured woman.
