Makes me sad, but the time has come where I'm going to have to close down the lake house and move on with other plans..
I spent the evening of the 4th of July in the Emergency Room with my DH and some major changes need to occur in terms of his health care (or "lack of") and where he and I need to go from here..
My DD, son-in-law and granddaughter are very upset that I won't be going back to the lake, but there's too much I have to take care of here..
I'll spend the next few weeks or so unloading as much stuff as I can on eBay - I'll probably have to hold the dreaded "garage sale" - and the rest I'll just ditch.. Everything has suddenly become far too complicated and I just can't manage everything I have to handle without simplifying whatever I can.
I'm extremely annoyed with my stepchildren - only ONE out of FIVE even called to see if their father was still alive - and from this point on I will have nothing to do with the four who obviously don't care about their Dad..
The VA here has pushed me to the point of wanting to file a lawsuit against them but if memory serves me correct, we can not sue them because they are a government agency.. However, once my DH is no longer in need of their services I think a nice expose in the local newspapers might draw some much needed attention.. Considering they are already the subject of a federal investigation due to falsifying the records of cancer patients in order to put them in trial studies that they shouldn't have been in, the media might also be interested in a totally unmanned ER while the staff was outside in the parking lot watching the fireworks at the state capitol..
I am very angry - very tired - and feel like my back is up against the wall with all that I have facing me right now.. Oddly enough though, something that happened within the past 48 hours has given me a determination that I didn't have before.. Perhaps I'm being motivated by my anger, but somehow I will find a way to turn all of this into something better - one step at a time, one day at a time..
To those here who have supported me over the past few years I want to say "thank you".. I don't envision myself having much time to post on the DIS until I get some of these issues under control, but I'll do my best to pop in from time to time - even if it's only to "read"..
Take care - and have a happy and safe summer!
