Yep, jobycat, there are many of us! Oh, did I forget to mention? I am losing the ability to eliminate my waste products, i.e. urinate and defecate. Oh, of course diabetes is the FIRST thing the medical professionals are taught and wanted to accuse. Me, I had all the labs, mine were excellent. No diabetes, my cholesterol, well, my primary care doctor AND my cardiologist said: “I wish I had your cholesterol numbers!” It runs in my family. I was also thought to have neuropathy…nope, by the nerve conduction tests of my arms and legs I have radiculopathy, nerve damage in my spine, supposedly. Anyway, I have to see a urologist next Tuesday. I’ve been complaining of the loss of feeling to go to the bathroom for over two years, and who knows if it’s from the hep-c treatment?….sure hope it’s not too late! It’s a freaking struggle. Oh, and being an American, during so called COVID, us poor people got $200/month for food per person/Nutrition Assistance, and. NOW, Feb. 2024, on Social Security almost 70 yrs. Old, I only get $36/month food stamps. I was told at the DES office that: “YOU DID GET A RAISE!!” I DID!! A whole $39/month. My rent went up $45 starting last December and auto insurance went up for the first time in years, $9/month. I have to go to food banks, churches, and friends to eat anymore, so, I get it! We have had it so good, as Americans. As long as we are “PRODUCTIVE “!! We are now considered: “CONSUMERS” We “CONSUME” now our country has gone political instead of caring for its own. It hurts! ALL OF US AMERICANS! I will keep you in my prayers jobycat, for it’s all I have!🙏🏻
