I just needed a break today. I am SO SICK OF HEALTHCARE and the more obese I have become the more obsessed I am forced to become with it. It's bad enough I'm a nurse and for at least 3 days a week I listen to my unfortunate senior population at the hospital and all the sacrifices they have to make to make ends meet. Add to it the fact that I come home to a sick mother transitioning into dialysis. Recently, in pursuit of my surgery I have had to reacquaint myself with healthcare. I went from in August having an OTC allergy medication to being on Lisinopril, Dulera, Wellbutrin, Janumet, and Singulair. Really? I went t having no doctor to seeing three and having an appointment with one or the other at least once a week until the end of the year. People go to their doctor to make themselves feel better but instead I feel more sick. My vertical sleeve is scheduled for end of February, first of March. I am itching for it to be next week just so I can stop being a walking target for the system. I hate bashing on my profession but I am sick to death of being made to feel I need a pill for every moment of my life, that I am to sick to breathe much less live without a referral or physician supervision! In June of next year I am going on a cruise and I am going to ride the hell out of some roller coasters. Sounds really lame but this is what I keep my focus on right now so I don't just shut down.
I know it is going to get better I am just low on financial and spiritual resources right now. So, on that note I bid thee goodnight and pass on this quote. "So many people spend their health gaining wealth and then must spend their wealth regaining health." ---A.J. Reb Materi
