When Life Seems to Pile it on...

It is official, I hate Worker's comp. They're a bunch total and complete assholes. Yes I know they've paid a lot of our medical bills but that doesn't amount to what they're doing to us now. They're not concerned with Dad's well being, they're concerned about saving maybe a few thousand dollars. They keep saying that we have no case and making us jump through loop after loop. We know we have a case, and we've jumped through every hoop they've thrown at us. We went to one of their recommended lung specialists and he said that Dad shouldn't be working. He recommended to not pursue permanent/total disability but to be on total disability til he can maintain a healthy weight. He said Dad's weight is SECONDARY to the accident for his breathing problem. WCF said they don't understand his report and said "it sounds like its his weight" that's the problem...NO, its SECONDARY!!! They're incompetent and arrogant if they can't even read their OWN doctor's report!

I sprained my ankle for the second time in about a month. It wasn't excruciating but it was very painful. My ankle hadn't completely healed in the first place. I haven't had a problem walking on it too much but I walked about 4 blocks yesterday and felt that I just couldn't walk anymore. It looks like I've got a boulder in the side of my foot. Its so irritating for me that I keep having all these accidents. It seems like everyday I've done something stupid and unintentional to hurt myself.

Lately I've felt extremely over-whelmed. Tyler is stressed about work and school, we're stretching this pay check to the extreme, we've got a new dog, and everything seems to plop onto my shoulders and nest there till I can't take it anymore. I feel emotionally and physically drained. I've been having several mental battles in my head and no matter what I do I can't come to a conclusion about anything. The worst is when all I can do is wait and see. I've always hated getting that answer, no matter what it is referring to. Wait and see; What if I can't? What if I don't want to?

I guess life is always trying to teach us a lesson. Some believe its God trying to teach us a particular vertue and others believe its a cosmic force like the universe or fate. All I know is that my lessons right now are: 1. Chill out, and 2. Patience. Whatever it is that's trying to teach me a lesson sure knows how to get the message across.
