Anyone need to vent today?

Geez! So sorry for your issues! Mine seem petty in comparison. But I'll go anyway. Yesterday I had a very easy day at work. Things ran really smoothly so I had a lot of downtime. But today I'm paying for it. It's been non-stop since 7 am with different problems. If only people and issues were spread out so that you're consistently busy instead of bored to death or too swamped to each lunch until now (12:25 when I normally eat at 11:00).

I'll vent. I've been dealing with navigating the health care system for my knee issue and it's one hassle after another. I gave my orthopedist my MRI image (done at another facility) last week and he has yet to get radiology to read it. I will need PT but getting any appts. is very difficult and forget about getting subsequent ones remotely close together. Our co-pay is so high, I think I'm just going to find my own facility and pay cash. Hopefully one that isn't so over-booked. However, I need my MRI report (from the facility I had it done at originallY first and they have it, so getting it back has been a pain.

((HUGS)) to all.

I'm going to be harsh. You'll have to trust me it's deserved....

Your son is a piece of fucking shit. And guess what? It's your fault. No really. It's all on you. Because you enable every stupid fucking thing he does. You were told by your lawyer that he really should get a job and help out and there wasn't anything the lawyer could do to help you (said in the hallway so we overheard) so now you're going to help him get disability?! WTF AND don't you dare go on Facebook and trash talk my DD. My DD who is a single mom, working full time and going to college full time and would simply like your piece of shit son to pay for half of daycare. That's it. $60 a week. But it's $60 she just can't do right now. She doesn't live extravagantly. For crying out loud I paid for her to get her hair cut last week and she hadn't been there since 2014. She works her ass off, goes to class, studies until the wee hours of the morning and gets up and does it again...happily. Because she has been told since day one that SHE is responsible for her choices. So she's doing something to fix the poor choice she made to have a child with your piece of shit. But NO. DO NOT go to Facebook and start posting shit. You have just brought out my mama bear bitch.

Ugh...what a way to start your day jeremysgirl! It can only go up from here! Hugs.

I am very sad and angry. I am mad at myself for crying all the time. My mom is going to pass any hour or day now and I am sick of the ok to sobbing mood swings I am going through. I am also angry at everyone who says this is normal and let yourself grieve. I don't want her going to a "better place". Her better place is with us her family. My BFF in town went to see my mom yesterday and she has never seen a near palliative patient/friend before and she got totally spooked. I felt bad for her, but I warned her that she won't look like herself. She is very, very sick. I am afraid to go to the hospital this morning and I am afraid not to.

So my son was totally unmotivated, and I had it will all his excuses. I blew up at him, told him he had until the end of the month to get in school and find a job. Or I was giving him $1000 and driving him to the nearest underpass.

He is going to graduate in a couple months, has a job and is going to intern with the sheriff dept.

Sometimes you just have to take the low road.

I take biweekly injections of Humira. I ordered my refill last week and was told it was scheduled for delivery today. This morning I get a call saying there are no refills left and they sent a fax to the doctor for a new one. Normally the rx is wrtten for 3 months but for some reason the doctor only wrote it for 1 month in February. Now, becuase of my husband's surgery on Monday, I won't be able to get the drug until next Thursday or Friday meaning I'm taking my injection a week late. When I asked the pharmacy (a specialty one since local ones don't stock the drug)why I wasn't told I needed a new rx, the reply was - "the schedulers don't have access to that information" Idiotic. Problem could have dealt with a week ago.

I can relate. My experience with my knee has really opened my eyes to how bad our health care system is. Even with ok insurance, the access to providers is very hard to come by. I need physical therapy but my insurance PT department is so over booked, i will probably have to look for outside providers. I can't wait to get started on this forever.

First off hugs to all, I guess misery really does love company.  I guess it's nice to know we aren't alone in our crap.  So here I go.....My dad was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis on Jan. 22.  He literally came over my house for dinner was totally fine, we had a nice dinner, we chatted, we watched a movie, and all of a sudden he couldn't move.  He said, his arms were super heavy and he couldn't lift them.  We went through this before but not as bad when he had a bad uti, so we thought it could be a uti.  We waited and took his blood pressure, which was fine.  Well within the next 30 minutes he couldn't move his legs.  He was literally paralyzed in my house.  We called an ambulance and after many many many tests he was diagnosed with inflammation in his spine ( c3-c6)  so the dr.'s gave him prednisone which greatly improved his movement in the hospital.  On feb. 1st he left the hospital to go to a rehab facility to help him to walk again.  It's been going really good up until a few weeks ago.  He was walking with a walker and starting therapy on stairs.  To make matters more hard he also has a full catheter in so it's tough to move.  So, we finally are adjusting to this new life for now, and getting him through everything, and keeping him positive but then comes a uti, a pulled muscle in his hip and leg spasms.  We just can't catch a break.  He texted today and said he is nausea  and diarrhea.  OMG I WANT TO SCREAM, I'M ALL PRAYED OUT BUT KEEP ON PRAYING ANYWAYS.  We just need all this crap to go away so he can focus on his therapy before he plateaus.  I don't know if he will ever be able to drive again, or even go home. My dad is usually very active, he walks his dog everyday and loves to go out and be social.  He is an artist and just the best dad ever.   It's just so HARD right now and I'm usually the positive one but lately I'm needing people to help me stay positive so I can help him.  I have a wonderful sister and husband who I couldn't do this without.  My mom passed away June 2014 and it's just so hard without her.  She was my rock and having her not here to help is horrible.  Ok, my vent is over, that felt good.  Hugs to all.

Hugs.

Our usually calm easy going small PTA (usually 10-11 per meeting) had a brutal meeting last night where about 25 teachers who never show up to meetings ever, showed up and voted down something that would not have passed anyway (because it did not get 10 votes) and caused everyone a ton of stress and drama. Our PTA president was crying this morning when I saw her, and while I usually love our school, I am very annoyed with our teachers and their taking what our PTA does (which is every program at the school that is not during school hours, and 4 fundraisers a year) for granted.

Then, we have been saving money for this huge project for YEARS, and the teachers took a poll and want to spend the money on something else (which is ridiculous and is not why what we fundraised for).

UGH!
Too much drama...

That sucks.  Our PTO didn't let anyone vote unless they were on the PTO and attended all (most) of the meetings.  If teachers wanted money that the PTO raised, they had to write a letter and ask for $.  Then they were put on the next month's agenda and the PTO voted (not the teacher).  I have to wonder what would make 25 teachers show up for a PTO meeting.  Honestly, our PTO was fantastic.  They raised a bunch of money.  I didn't always think everything they purchased was needed, but it wasn't all about me.  

It sucks doesn't it? I've been passed over because of my hearing loss. Yet SSI says I'm still capable of working but no one will hire me!
