Adult onset asthma
Here were two families living parallel, un-touching lives with one same constant - my grandfather. He was their common thread, weaving between them, changing everything for everyone, leaving in his wake emotional scars that would fester for years. Deceit of this magnitude casts long shadows, reforming and retouching the past, adding new twists to ordinary events, fresh pathos to extraordinary ones.
Take one night in 1961: it's late, the eve of Terry's 14th birthday and my grandmother is nursing her son, alone, in his tiny, airless bedroom. He struggles to breathe, his thin, bony chest rising and falling in rhythm with the terrible rasping; a sound that anyone who has witnessed a full-blown asthma attack can never forget. It's a common enough scene in this house, but this time it's worse, much worse. My mother, 21 now, returns from an evening out with her fiance
'It's a trickle down effect,' Barbero said. 'I see a lot more people that don't have insurance, that are in between jobs and I see a lot more people that are in need.'
In the U.S individuals between the ages of 18-64, 22.1-24.1 percent of Americans lack medical coverage for at least part of a year period, according to research conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services compiled in March of 2008.
One of the services seeing an increased flux of activity is the Crisis and Marriage/Family counseling. Since these have been tough times financially for homeowners as well as your average individual, the LPC therapists have seen their schedules booked to help people cope with these everyday problems.
'We have had a huge increase with therapy sessions,' Barbero said. 'Schedules have been booked, just people requesting emotional support because they are going through hard times right now. I believe this is all in response to the economy.'
Depending on cancellations another service that is completely booked is appointments for scheduling Flu shots. With a limited surplus catered for patients with asthma, chronic diseases, low immune systems and people over the age of 50, anyone else looking to get a last minute Flu shot would have to come back and check the waiting list for cancellations.
