just an update in regards my health and mental health I am currently slipped back into Autism Burnout and had to see my Psychiatrist on Friday for a change medicines and to get some counselling and support . I had a major varicose vein bled from 2 veins in my left calf when I banged it on the edge of a shop counter and felt cold liquid on my leg and noticed a major pool of blood and rushed to the local medical center .I therefore nearly bled out and died . I survived and had 20 stitches to close off the veins and to save my life . I was the racially and culturally abused by an Asian and an Indian for being disabled and autistic .when he kept belittling me I melted down and blew merry hell out of him and got both arrested for disability abuse .Will be going to court and then a very close old school friend from when we both were in Kindergarten 55 years ago died on Wednesday from a major heart attack in front of his wife at lunch . I will miss bruce he had 4 coronary arteries blocked the ambos couldn't restart his heart
so folks I am in recovery and its going to take a while to reset the operating system of my autistic brain .I will be askew and not on the air

I am so sorry that you had such an unfortunate experience while trying to get medical help. You did not need that and it was completely uncalled for. My sympathies to you in the loss of your long-time friend. Friends are an important part of our life and support network. When you lose a friend, you have lost a great deal! Take time to heal, @sirgalahad and post again when you can. Wishing you well and praying for you.
Dear@sirgalahad. I am so sorry to hear what you have been going through! Take good care, and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so proud of you for standing up for
what you believe in.
Yesterday I witnessed a blatant example of racism while in the grocery store. I couldn't let it go. I reported what happened to the service desk manager and she brought in the store manager.
He said they have cameras which record everything, so they are going to pull the tapes and then address the situation.
I was almost in tears, and the service desk manager kept saying please don't cry..
I hate it when that happens. I'm so glad you are going to be ok. I appreciate all you do for us here at Mayo Clinic Connect. Hope to "chat" with you later.
