Satire: Government and health

At times, things get overlooked. You gave me the surgery needed to Fix my back. So, we'll call it Even - Balanced. I'll go my Way and you go Yours. And they did. But the Worker's Compensation Division also compensated Cheyenne with $8,000 in order to help her get back onto her feet after her injury and during her recovery process.

She Made her Lemonade. Drank it, and went on her merry Way.


Life was good and Cheyenne Worked as a pre-school and kindergarten Teacher, and as a Therapeutic Technician at a Rehabilitation Center for head trauma Patients, while completing her Teaching Degree and Certifications.

A few years later, Cheyenne was diagnosed with cervical and uteran cancer. She was Working as an 'on the road' Teacher, Speaker, Visual Artist and Singer for the Foundation For a Compassionate Society.

Luckily, the cancer was caught early. Also, Cheyenne decided to combine western and eastern Medical Practices, Philosophies and Meditation Techniques in order to be proactively involved within the process of Healing herself from the deadly disease.

Her costs were covered one hundred percent (that is another story within itself, due to the blessings of good friends, and a doctor who proved to be a Good Man). She would be Forever Grateful !

She would never be able to bear her own Children, but she was Healed. She was Cured. As a result, every Child she encounters is Given the Love and Attention she would have showered upon her own Children.

She Made her Lemonade. Drank it, and went on her merry Way.

Three years later, while on her Way out the door to an Independence Day Party and Singing event, being held at her sister's country place, a
