The interaction that you had with the turd who answered the phone at the doc's office is hardly what could be considered "a little thing". Dude was out of line. Done. D. O. N. E. Done. And he was a jackass. That's an inexcusable way to treat a patient (or potential patient) and it's worth reporting if you want to and it won't screw w/ you down the road. The crap is accumulating (apparently daily from your "hubby" alone!) and makes it harder to deal with the little stuff. Let's not pretend that the daily BS from "hubby" isn't incredibly stressful - especially because you think you must endure it to survive financially. Let's also not pretend that he's not feeding you the biggest saddest line of crap-tastic that has ever done been fed to another human being. Blame. Blame. Blame. Boo hoo. Too bad he can't pull up his big boy panties and take a little dose of shut-the-fuck-up. Can you tell him that you don't have time to listen to him cry about the consequences of his own fucking decisions? That you are too busy taking care of the boys and dealing with the same yourself. Alone. Surely you can tell him how inconsiderate it is for him to be talking about how beautiful it is where he's at. And seriously what fuckwit expects you to be available at his beck and call. You have things to take care of - more now that you have to do everything yourself. Hang in there. Cut yourself some slack. Be good to yourself. You are brave, strong, a pioneer woman, a superhero, a great friend, and a person who has taught me more than she may ever know! You know I couldn't stop at just one word. It's like eating potato chips - or having house mammals. ;) Dislike, dislike!!

]]> Comment on Health Care Rant by Rev Steven Potts (papottsy) http://palikari.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/health-care-rant/#comment-24 Rev Steven Potts (papottsy) Sun, 17 May 2009 01:06:26 +0000 http://palikari.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-24 Hello I can sympathize with you because I went through the very same thing. I have I.P.F. but the difference3 being that I got a transplant in Sept of 2000. I did some writing in the year before the tx. If you want to see them go to my site http://papottsy.wordpress.com/ if not then don't. I do not know your condition but all I can say to you is you have to take the fight to them, doctors, trans. coordinators, the hospital and the rest. If it is one thing that I remember it is that I had to fight to get the care I needed, sort of the squeaky wheel get the grease theory. Everything that happened was because I put myself into the battle, by the end of it they all knew my name cause they heard from me constantly. My Psychologist on the transplant team said that he would remember me because I was a fighter and wouldn't take the crap from anybody. It sounds that you are also a fighter and I encourage you to keep fighting. I am now a Rev. and have been a believer for many years and I know that it was God providing for me all the time. He was the one that gave me the strength to come through it all. Feel free to e-mail me and did youn know that there are quite a few support groups for I.P.F. on the internet check them out.
