I learned that many of the men I had known had crossed over to the Spirit World. But I will say it' s nice here. It's the showplace where tours come through and show the politicians how compassionate governors care for the old, despised, hated members of society. Two days after I arrived the entire 18 members of the Texas Board of Corrections came through here and the guards shined the place up for their visit and did everything but paint the grass green out front. The health care professionals treat us like human beings unlike Pack Prison where the nurses have an attitude usually associated with gun tower guards.
Real nurses run in and out of here all day long.
I was given a very thorough complete physical by a very kind Physician's Assistant who seemed more competent than any prison doctor I have ever encountered. He immediately took me off of poison Cardura and put me back on Clonidine, the safe and effective blood pressure medication I had been on for over five years. He did blood work and when the results came back he doubled my diabetes medicine because my blood sugar was high. This is the first time anyone has checked my blood sugar in a long time. Best of all he referred me to the heart clinic at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston and ordered that I be transported by van instead of the chain bus.
