arbiter curbin’
its rough, bein’ the middle man on some things. A foot in both camps, understanding both sides, emotionally and intellectually.
No, ain’t talkin’ politics,,, (note, i was a lefty for many years, but, I got better,,, Now I see thier side, but agree?? No,,, not very often or much.)
This is about Da, and I aint’ gonna delve into details, but,,, IT SUCKS being the middleman,,,
And being an anarchist dealing with bureaucratic bullshit,,, EVERY damned time we go to the doc (with the exception of the Doc in the Box) they ask him about 50 questions, and I KNOW what the game is,,, they are ‘looking’ for mental health issues,,, and ONLY in those on the Medicare/Medicaid programs. Its frustrating to me because some of the questions are so loaded towards “psychotropic” adjustments, NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT what the patient is actually there FOR,,, such as my dad, in pain 24/7, can’t sleep well,,,, I think you can see how that could lead to “false positives’ in the mental wellness questionaire,,,,
But let me get back to that middleman aspect See, I understand both sides, of it, I even lean one way or the other on personal bias, and MUST STAY NEUTRAL,,,,
some days, makes me want to FRELLIN SCREAM AN HOLLAR,,,,, It do,,,,
SO, This little post IS my screamin’ an hollarin’

Take care’yourself first. All that matters, cuz if you are a casualty, some one has to carry ya and thats two down, not one.
Im doin my best, but like Itold Brudda B ” I’m no diplomat, I’m Marine,, We didn’t negotiate, we shot the ever loving shit out of things.”
Its an ill-fitting cap I wear lately, but I’m makin’ it work.

“two down, not one” Zactly the way I sees it! Dam sure wish these hormone shots were over, though. As I mentioned, 2 down, 2 more to go – every 6 months.
As I told the nurse yesterday – don’t really want the shot, but if it keeps the cancer (if there’s any left – which I’m sure there is) from being able to grow, go ahead and stick me! Kill them sons-a-bitches!
Makin’ it work is whut matters – don’t matter whut cap ya have to wear to do so. If’n negotiations are needed, that’s fer Higher to take care of. In the meantime – BANG! Bottom line – yer best is all ya can hope to do.
L’s.
Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.
