You are tempting me to use my cane on YOU
I was in a decent mood when I walked into the pet store today with the girls, who were being well-behaved and charming everyone they met.
I walked out pissed off at the idiotic woman who attempted to convince me that her chiropractor could 'fix me up' so that I wouldn't need a cane anymore.
The cane I use because I get tired and dizzy and my hip seizes up occasionally.
I said, "Thanks, but I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. A chiropractor does not handle autoimmune diseases."
She wouldn't quit and I finally said, "No!" and walked away, but I couldn't leave my bad mood behind with her.
I already have to deal with my well-meaning family and friends sharing all the latest suggestions they've picked up from who knows where. I'm not a stupid woman, I'm able to research as well or better than they can. I'm tired of hearing how I should be able to get better if I just tried blah, blah, blah. It took me years to give in and admit I was disabled and I'm doing the best I can with my restrictions. Gary is the only one who seems to understand that and not push me.
Got a suggestion for me?
Please don't bother.
Really.
I still have enough strength left to do some damage with my cane. :-(
