So my mother at 40 years old had breast cancer about 5 years ago. for anyone who knows anything about it she was diagnose with Triple positive, positive for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and HER2 stage 3B. She went through the whole shebang and got "everything" chopped off and limp nodes taken out. After her reconstruction she got her pathology report back and she was cancer free, However, HER2 positive is the most likely to reoccur. So for the rest of her like she has to get preventative treatments. So I try to take her as much as I can. She only lives about 20 mins away and im always working. This place I took her was nice. It was only for cancer patients and they accept the more severe cases over the lighter ones witch is good. It like saying your going through hell so we will expedite you through. There is usually a waiting list to be on for this place but I went behind her back and "donated" a sum. Then because of her case she was in the top list. Anyways this place is huge and fancy. They have a cafeteria that has really really good food. Everything is organic and made to order so no heat lamp. Everything for patients is free and if you sign in your visitor as a care giver then its 60% off like it was for me!
That morning I had 3 eggs over medium, bacon, 2 biscuits and gravy and a big bowl of pineapple (witch was cut from a fresh pineapple right in front of you) and a coffee. It cost $2.30 and it was better than waffle house or Ihop!
They also have a nice hotel patients can stay in when there really bad. Its 20 bucks a night and they get a shared room with a curtain divider, each patient gets there own CNA 3 patients per nurse and 10 patients per doctor. If you are really really sick you can get your own room for $60, your own CNA, nurse and 4 patients per doctor! Everything else the insurance pays! Now is that awesome or what?! Its cheaper than the rent on a 1/1 bed bath house!
So the real reason for the post when I stop myself from rambling on is they had 2 in wall saltwater tanks! The only thing I didn't like about them is they both had allot of majano anemones and hair algae. I was talking to the guy cleaning them who apparently does all the maintenance now since the last guy moved 6 months ago and he said he thought the anemones where bought and placed. I said something about the hair algae and he didn't even know what I was talking about.. Apparently this guy never even seen a salt water tank till he started there. It also looks like a couple fish had parasites. I spoke with the director and told him next time I come with my mom witch she goes weekly, that I would try and tell them what they need and help them get it straighten out. Hell I even pointed out an emerald crab that was lying upside down and looks like something has began to eat it. He said its been there for a while he just thought that's where he sleeps all day.. :hammerhea
Here are the pics! They do have some excellent coral growth and a huge zoa colony, but there the cheap ugly zoas
