Needing to Vent
Today, I was really close to quitting one of the groups that I do book promos for….honestly, I’m still unsure if I want to stay. My personal Facebook page is just that, personal. This person has never met me, but you would think that anyone with a brain would have been able to figure out that my post was meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek. Obviously, I don’t seriously think that the government is going to start creating Soylent Green Wafers with the senior citizens of the nation. It’s called being sarcastic!
Here’s a word of advice for all of you tour company owners, if you’re going to make a rude comment about someone & make a point of sating you’re not going to say anything because you work with this person, it’s probably a good idea not to post anything. I really could give a rat’s ass if the person & I had differing opinions. The part that pissed me off was, this person had the audacity to say that I had my beliefs spoon feed to me & that I needed to do research. I have had Multiple Sclerosis since two weeks after my 17th birthday. By the time I turned 18, I had lost vision in one eye, become a quadriplegic, had chemo, learned how to walk, feed myself, write & go to the bathroom all over again. I went to my prom bald, and my 18th bday was my last day of high school. I received special permission to take my GED (without any notice) and two week later, I started college during my classes last semester in high school .
What this woman doesn’t know about me, is that just one of my meds for MS cost $35k/yr. This excludes the price of the other meds that I have to take, the three sets of MRI’s that I’ve had this year, the shoulder surgery from the damage IV steroids have caused (they’re used to treat MS). The round of IV steroids I had to get last week, the numerous doctors appointments & the previous and soon to start rounds of physical therapy this year are not included in that $35k. I would gladly trade places with her, she can have the MS & medical bills. In exchange, I would make judgments about people without any information.
