Dear Pat, I read your profile.
It was quite inspiring and I will read the other link you provided after I write.
I didn't put where I am from in my initial posts because of the terrible anti American feelings here in Australia. I am an American, born and raised in NY and lived in NJ until 20+ years until 2001 when I moved here after my divorce.
I don't know why so many Australians do not like Americans but I feel some could be jealousy that we have so many resources, better shopping and just more of everything there. I want to move home but the price of health insurance is a killer. I know our President is trying to fix this.
Here in Australia, I pay about $2k a year for private health insurance which covers hospitals and you get a bit off dental, eyeglasses, and natural therapy. Because I am on Disability, I get free GP, free xray, mammorgrams, MRIs. I have to pay for specialists but the gov, rebates you back partial.
I still have these nightly fevers and am so scared but yes, you are right about going around in a circle. I am turning 57 next week and my body is telling me something. Something is wrong. I am scared. I do not have any family support and just a few casual friends here.
I am trying to be positive, watch happy TV shows, enjoy my beautiful cat but in the end I am alone and scared.
Thank you for taking the time to answer me and to give me such caring advice.
