The health monster strikes.
Health care is one of the hardest things to find. There are plenty of practicing medical advisors, but few that have enough guts to be honest with the person in front of them. Especially when they do not have a clue. I had one person tell me i was going to lose a leg, and several others misdiagnosed simple problems.
The worst is the way others treat me because my problems are not obvious. I have Spinabifida, and at my age the related damage is compound. I have three slipped discs with herniated and pinched nerves. I can not walk in a straight line. Insurance companies have a mandatory tourture system to get things done. All told with a health plan that covers me in most places will be about 25% of my income. Plus deductibles. Six months ago I stepped on a rock and since then I am unable to walk in a straight line. I have a high pain tolerance so I can keep on moving. Following a thought is harder. I hate brain farts. Anyway
Being unable to do things really sucks. If the pain doesn’t stop me, a brain fart does.
Until I get the disc pain under control, driveing is out of the question. Good thing I have satellite maps that USUALLY tell me if I am on the road. Brain farts be dammed.
I really hate being lied to, and to have a machine do it is worse
I hope that I covered what I meant to in this post. But I am afraid that I missed it. I have been fighting the automated misunderstanding google on drugs corrections system.
Today I tried to do a simple change of address form through social security. 5 1/2 hours later, seven dropped calls and one grumpy ass operator later I have to make a one hour trip to get a simple detail done. America needs a road trip to mellow out.

Compared to parenting, Cat herding is less complicated
