((((((( Berries! )))))))

If that one mentoring bridge is burned, you didn't burn it. Requesting changes to accommodate your medical treatment is entirely reasonable.

It may be the mentoring agency isn't returning your calls because they judge you unreliable due to your illness. It also may be they haven't returned your calls yet because they're a bureaucracy with too few people handling the administration of their services. Other possibilities for the lack of communication exist as well.

Your desire to be of direct, active value to the community reflects highly upon you, Berries. Illness thwarting these desires in no way detracts from your nobility.

Now, if I could only substitute my name for yours in the above paragraph and still mean it, I might feel better myself...
