Overdue hugs for you East...I was thinking about you the other day, and hoping I might be able to catch up with you soon.

The situation is much like this here in Ontario, as well. Woefully understaffed...and the people who are there fancy themselves infallible, to boot.

I haven't faced anything like what you're enduring, East. But I do understand completely the frustration of not getting the very basic care required, and sympathetic attention for the issues you want addressed.

Regardless of how individuals involved may make me feel, I do have to routinely remind myself that, logically, these folks actually are on my side, although it often looks and sounds different than that to me. If I did not do this, over and over, I would never make it to any medical appointments, ever again.

((((huggggg))))
