"Life has been a gong show ever since my mom passed away. First my mom, then my cardiac alert dog then a dog I wished to adopt bit me on the face/nose. That was a fiasco of giant screw ups by institution after institution. The health department wanted me to take the rabies series but they couldn't get accommodation for my POTS or Mast Cell Activation at either medical facility with which our Health Department is contracted. It has been such a crazy mess. All the weather changes and the clouds of smoke haven't helped. Pretty much a dumpster fire. BUT I AM fighting back. I've made a complaint about the failure to accommodate my disability, I've also made a complaint about the ER at my local hospital they say they'll investigate. I was treated like an hysteric for coming into the hospital which is what I was told to do by the nurse at the 24 hour hotline at my health insurance company. No one with Chronic Illness should be treated like I was... have been. I'm going to make this event and the loss of my beloved dog count for something.
