This evening Kwasi and I received a piece of mail from Kwasi’s insurance company (under which we have coverage for Kwabena), Cigna. It was addressed: “To the Parents of Kwabena G. Appiah.” WOW.

However, in the last day or so, it’s become more forceful, a little more frequent, and congested. We took him to the dr., which was a joke. Since when have pediatricians become cold and rushed? Aren’t they… View Post
