Later that night, getting up for a drink, Jamie fell and twisted his knee. It was swollen and hurt like a son-of-a-bitch. It was worse when he put his weight on it the next morning. It was so swollen he could hardly bend it. He put in for a medical call. A guard came get him with a wheelchair because there was no way he would be able to walk there.
     "What did you do?" the nurse asked after the guard helped him up onto the examining table.
     "Damn that hurts," slipped out of Jamie's mouth before he could stop it. He didn't like to cuss around women.
     "I slipped on the carpeting," he joked and tried to laugh.
     "No, really, my knee buckled. I went down and landed hard on the side of my knee and it twisted." Jamie winced as he attempted to change position.
     "I've had problems with this knee before," he told her.
     "I'll have x- ray take a picture," she concluded. "Make sure it isn't fractured.
     The nurse pressed gently on different parts of the knee. "This feels like fluid, "she commented, "not just swelling from the damage caused by twisting it."
     "Can the doctor do something? Could it be drained?" Jamie thought it would make his knee feel better if they were able to get the swelling down. Right now he could only bend it a couple inches.
     "No." It only took a second for the nurse to answer."The doctor won't do it. The Medical Unit would never okay that kind of procedure."
     The nurse stopped for a few seconds and thought carefully. "They'll say it's not medically necessary," she finished saying, almost under her breath.
     She saw inmates all day long who had medical conditions that needed treatment, and she knew they would never receive it, or they would get the barest minimum care. She'd placate them making them think something would be done. Chronic illnesses with simple, effective treatments that could make their lives easier to bear would most likely be denied. Conditions got worse that could be fixed. Inmates paid precious dollars out of their accounts to be seen by a doctor and were usually given the runaround. They would receive token or incorrect treatments and blood tests might even be taken, but getting the right diagnoses and proper medication were much more difficult to get. This wasn't the reason she became a nurse.
     Inmates coming into the prison with a known condition who had a history of medication had a better chance of receiving it, but if other conditions developed there was a good chance it wouldn't be addressed.

Inside The Forbidden Outside

Circles Inside Circles

My music pieces are all piano improvisations expressing emotions. It is music telling stories without the words. In my earIy years I sang and played piano in piano bars or fronted bands of different styles, from country to heavy metal and to 40. I've been composing, teaching and performing most of my life.  I'm getting old(er) now 😔 but the great thing about creating music is it gets better the longer you play, and you have more to write about! 

This is what I leave of me to my generations to come who wonder where their desire to make music comes from. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My son is also exceptional.  My great grandmother and gr grandfather sang and danced in minstrel shows (vaudeville) in the early 1900's. Kids today have no idea what life was like before moving pictures.  I now have great-grandchildren. They will know who I am through my music. When I am gone my music will still be here. What a wonderful thought!
