No, not money. I have sufficient money to get by, and I don’t need that.
What I need is some love and sympathy. My family comes from the suck-it-up strong silent type of folks. I know it’s very stupid to ask for sympathy from complete strangers on the Internet, but I feel like many of you are my friends, especially from the kitty diaries. My Mom is passed away now……...as you can see I am bigger than that little twig of a person. She and I were happy then.
I’m in pain. Really bad pain. I posted a comment yesterday about how the VA couldn’t get an appointment for me until May 30th. So I went in on Emergency today. The shot they gave me, which worked so well the last time, didn’t work so well this time. The next alternative, they tell me, is surgery.
I have tried to be cheery and perky. But it’s really hard when work calls at 3pm, you stay on the phone with them for an hour and a half trying to provide tech support, and they STILL don’t get it. I said, ok never mind I will come in tomorrow and fix it. And they know I am in pain.
I am now glad I never tried for a career in tech support. Of course maybe I would have been paid more then haha. They can’t pay those guys/girls enough, in my opinion.
So, I’m still in pain and have probably got more of these VA emergency room visits in my future. And my work doesn’t really care — well, maybe they do, but I doubt it. If they don’t need you, they don’t care. And they’re responsible for this in the first place, because I hurt my rotator cuff trying to do their clerical work and filing for them.
And I find this a very sad state of affairs.
Thanks for listening,
Love, Rose
