I hope you enjoyed the hell out of that fucking ice cream cone. <3
This is just perfect. Poignant and powerful and so clear. This is what my wife and I are going through, and we feel you, feel for you.
[Story Time: She's been in chronic pain for years (car accident ;__;) and a month ago she hurt her knee - same knee she had already torn her ACL 13 years previous. It's taken over a month to get an MRI, and they're scaring her because the results are taking longer than usual to get to us. To make matters worse, none of her three doctors (Primary Care, pain Management, Orthopedic surgeon) will prescribe her pain medication. We were already tight before - she hasn't worked since the injury and already the bills are adding up. It's not fair. It's frustrating. It's so upsetting.]
We shouldn't have to live with pain, or shame, or judgment, or have to make choices between food, pain, and electricity. It's ridiculous and inhumane. We've been doing what we can (signing petitions, writing letters, joining demonstrations) but it never feels like it's enough.
I'm sorry. I feel you. I'm sending you positive vibes.
