Perplexed

  • Originally, I was scheduled to have a hearing with the Ohio Industrial Commission about my knee/ankle injury on Friday.  It is being rescheduled because my employer wants to wait until their doctor (or as a medical friend of mine calls him "opinion for hire") has examined me and gives his analysis.
  • My human resources director has informed me that once my FMLA runs out on Oct. 7, if I have not returned to work, even on light duty, I may not have a position to return for.
  • I'm still in enough pain that I have to take at least 3 pain pills every day to just function on a limited basis.
  • I'm trying very hard to hear the Voice of God about what to do and what my attitude ought to be.
  • The truth is, I'm feeling very betrayed by my company, and after 20 years of working for them and giving them my best, it's cutting deep.
  • I'm a little nervous about the financial end of things, but I've had God provide for us time and again through amazing ways, so I know my nerves are unfounded.
  • I'm very nervous about possibly losing my health/medical insurance.  Sir Nottaguy-Imadad and I are too young for Medicare; make too much for state-funded insurance; and have health issues that require daily medications.
  • I sit in my living room or dining room or sewing room or bedroom and see housework that needs to be done that I am not physically capable of keeping up with right now. I do what I can, but I get very frustrated with the little that it is.
Yesterday on the way from the grocery store to get Eva from daycare, my car started overheating.  I made it into the driveway at the daycare and had to just stay there for a while.  After Sir picked up David Riley, he came to look at the car and follow me home.  It took 4 pull overs to allow the car to cool some before I could get it the 2.5 miles from the daycare to my driveway.  We thought it might be the thermostat.  Replaced it with the help of my son-in-law.  Not the solution.  Today I have to call around and price water pumps and then see if I can find someone to install it for me.  This is so NOT in the budget!!

Okay, I've finished griping.  Now, I'm going to go wash dishes and straighten the kitchen before I take a shower.
