Yesterday's storm has passed and there is smoother sailing ahead. Although I am still surrounded by a bunch of idiots, they will soon be evicted from my domain. The wheels have been set in motion and they will not stop until I give the order. I take full responsibility for choosing the wrong people to help me. That error has cost me most of the peacefulness and serenity I had created for myself. It turned my reasonable lifestyle into a hellish nightmare. This morning I saw my doctor and explained to him how I had creatively bungled my life in such a short length of time. I told him about my plans to go back to the agency that I had left only a few weeks ago. He said he thought I should look elsewhere, and then arranged for me to meet with his social worker who has been has helped me before, so she is familiar with my situation and is aware of any quirks I may have. I was then placed on a bed while three doctors examined some pressure sores that had developed on my body since I went with this agency. I also told them about the "vampire nurse" who had worked on me last weekend. None of the doctors was pleased with what had occurred, nor were they happy with the care I am getting. I was assured that several phone calls were going to be made to this agency today. I know for a fact that some of them have already been carried out. I was then told that if the agency continued causing me problems I should notify the doctor’s office immediately. I am to return there for another visit next Friday. There have been a few negative responses concerning my venting yesterday. Most of the remaining comments however, have been positive in nature. I will not apologize for having expressed my true feelings. Anyone who is a friend understands my situation and knows from where I am coming. No further explanations are expected by them. “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” -- Oscar Wilde

expressing your feelings is what a journal is far... don\'t dare apologize... I\'m so glad you told your drs... way to go...
The doctors have already taken actions, and some results have begun. I am expecting more changes to take place during the coming week.
I am so glad that the drs. took the time to listen and evaluate your needs and to really be of help- the paticuliar agency you are speaking about hopefully can be investigated by their superiors-b/c-sad to say-yet how many other patients of theirs are in worse shape physically or emotionally than you and don\'t know what to do and how to get help-they are victims too. Hope fully everyone served by that agency will receive better care.
