Well, as everyone can see I am still lurking around, but really curbing my time on the forum. I also am influenced by a PM where someone said they hate not knowing the end of a “story”. I can appreciate that and some people genuinely care.
I am thinking. Thinking about what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, yesterday it was hard to keep my sanity. Joey called me. His group home had not picked him up for his doctor appointment. I won’t go into detail, but I later learned this was the fourth, after Covid hospitalization appointment, cancellation. (I am probably going to consult an attorney.).
Several calls later, his group home manager was to pick him up. I lost patience with the assistant director over the group home, lying piece of crap that he is.
I managed to get the appointment reinstated. Went to his home where the worker, was putting him in the car, 5 minutes before he was due at the doctor. We got to the doc in 15 minutes. She arrived 45 minutes later. Fortunately, his doctor, who stops seeing patients at 3; waited and saw him at 3:45.
His doctor said the ONLY reason he was still alive was because he was vaccinated. This is what I did, discuss the fact that the only reason my son was alive was because he was vaccinated. Not turning this into a Covid thread, just saying what I did. He still has to wear the oxygen. His lungs still have not recovered. Then we discussed the cyst they found on his heart while checking his lungs for the impact of Covid. He will have an MRI next week, then it looks like open heart surgery.
I was up most of the night, thinking. I am up now, thinking. I am and was extremely angry.
I am thinking about all the BS apologies, I had to listen to yesterday; all the BS excuses from the group home employees, all the pass the buck crap that fell out of people’s mouths over another failure to get my child appropriate medical care. All the lies.
I am thinking about the Covid threads on SF. Covid on the news. Covid talk everywhere.
All the useless blah, blah, blah, about the vaccinations as I sit and listen to a doctor, that I’ve known over twenty years, tell me how he “lost” two unvaccinated patients yesterday to Covid; and how he had another breakthrough, patient, like Joey, who lived through it.
Although, my son still might not live through it.
What am I doing today? Thinking. Doing the usual stuff. Will be talking to the group home people a lot, social workers, etc. Talking to my son Joey a lot. Updating his brother and sister on Joey’s condition, dealing with their worry and stress. And
Thinking, a lot of thinking.
This is what I am doing. Trying to maintrain my sanity in a world gone insane due to a virus that has impacted the lives of every single person in world. Plus the usual stuff, cause life goes on.
