not long after they moved up there, unfortunately, he would be diagnosed with lupus, the same disease that would take her life in 1964. at age 39. but as she would write in one of her letters in edward's time, there was nothing for it back then but the undertaker. so he succumbed to it by february of 1941. now, by 1941 regina had already moved herself and mary flannery to regina's childhood home in the historic district of millageville, and then edward would join them not long after that because, again, the lupus was debilitating him and taking away his strength, and then like i said, he would pass away in february of 1941. so just before her 16th birthday, she has lost her father, and she had very close ties with her father not only as daughter, but she said in another one of her letters that when she sat down to write, she felt like she was writing for the two of them. so it was a very big blow for her. and so was leaving this house, evidently, and in if another letter she would write it's just about as poignant to be torn away from a house as it is a person. her impact on the liter

not long after they moved up there, unfortunately, he's diagnosed with lupus, the same disease to take her life in 1954 at age 39. as she wrote in her letters, there was nothing for it then, but the undertaker so he succumbed to it by february of 1941. by 1941, regina had already moved herself and mary to regina's home in and edward joined not long after that because the lupus was debilitating him and taking his straint and he passed in february of 1941. just before her 16th birthday, she has lost her father, and she was close with her father not only as the daughter, but said in another letter, when she wrote, she felt she was writing for the two of them. there was a literary connection for the two of them. it was a big blow for her and so was leaving the house. she would write it's as poignant to be torn away from a house as a person. this house meant a great deal to her. this was impact on the literary community was fantastic. she was well-received, but she never expected to be well-received. she knew her stories were nonconventional, but she had something to say, usually about the

lupus has slowly deteriorated her body. multiple doctors have said there's nothing they can do to relieve her pain. during those three decades they've tried all sorts of powerful approved and legal narcotics to no avail. the only thing that's relieved her pain with no side effect and makes her life better is medical marijuana. again, unfortunately for bob and his wife, their state does not have access to medical marijuana like my home state of colorado does and 14 other states. bob ends the story about his wife saying, she's 65 years old but can only look forward to pain and agony. i'm sure there are other folks in our country in the same situation. is this the reason that we're waging a war on drugs, to ensure that sick people continue to suffer from pain unnecessarily or are driven to buy stronger, more powerful and more addictive narcotics? now, there's a lot of use of what a more sensible marijuana policy may look like. my own approach is support for legalization and creating a regulatory system similar to what we have

sometime there was thought to be some connection between breast implants and things like lupus or connectivee. what they are finding if you divide these women into two groups. a group of women who had these operations done for reconstructive purposes and a group of women who this done for purely augmentation, in the reconstruction group as many as 1 in 2 will need to have their implants replaced within ten years or have them removed altogether. about 1 in 5 of the women who have them done for augmentation will have to have the same thing. so this is -- still ten-year study is a relatively short study in the scheme of things because talking about something that was supposed to be a lifetime device as it is classified by the fda but now they are saying after ten years this is what they are finding and even more studied need to be done, longer term studies. >> we talk a lot behind closed doors. if you talk about needing reconstruction because you're gone through cancer, it is understandable but a lot of people that don't take it that seriously. i want to look better so i'm going to get a boob j
