Perna,

Not that it will change anything, but I've been mad at myself for believing the attorney who told me in very definite terms my settlement would be $225,000. I feel like I was duped.

I may not have been part of the class action suit for only $25,000. Being part of the suit, resulted in hanging onto the hurt from the discriminatory action my former employer of 17 years took against me b/c of my age.

If I didn't think I was getting $225,000 I might have been able to convince my husband to get the hell out of here sooner.

It seems really funny to be grieving $200,000 I never had in the first place.

I'm going to go cry now.



Now don't respond with intellectual reasoning. I need healing emotional comments.

I'm very thankful my faith and trust in God is strong. It's just my human part, which is having a hell-uv-a time with this "change in plans".

I'm turning 60 in less than a month, so all of this self- and life-examination, set off by my broken ankle is timely to say the least.

Thanks for your support,

EJ
