Dear Carol: What can you do when your insurance company discontinues physical therapy because a senior patient is not making enough progress? My 66-year-old sister suffered a massive stroke and was in physical therapy for several weeks. Because she was not making enough progress in her physical therapy, her insurance company discontinued her sessions.

I got into the training for this thing on my own at first. Gradually, I went from just being able to cover two lengths of a pool to being able to swim for half an hour. I got stronger on a bike by riding with my husband, who can quickly leave me in the dust. I did a little running. Then I found a training group in my county and found out what coached training was really like.

Kessler and Roth describe other approaches besides their own that have been considered as ways to increase organ donation.

Several years ago, I was preparing for an estate sale and found cremated remains in the bottom of a china hutch. They were handed to the son, who promptly tossed them under the kitchen sink right in front of me. Yes, you read that correctly. The ashes were tossed in with the Comet, Cascade, rags, and Brillo pads. I was aghast! How could anyone do such a thing?

I called the attorney’s office to report this horrible act and offered something above and beyond my call of duty.
