Well tomorrow is Friday, and it’s the last day of my first week of work. It’s been an exciting week… I moved to Atlanta, looked for apartments, started a new job, and have had to do all sorts of things like think about things I would need for an apartment and signing insurance papers, etc. As I’ve mentioned, I’m working for a company that does mostly advertising for the furniture industry.

I decided to respond to David’s comment by another blog post about Terri Schiavo. 1) A feeding tube is NOT a medical device. An IV is a medical device. A feeding tube simply makes it easier for them to give her nourishment. She swallows all the food and water herself.
