I will wait till Friday when I pass judgement, and it IS my place since I am the patient. I am now furious. First, I get no ride home - they (VA) picked me up - no one there could figure out my transport - if not for a good friend who had to come 15 miles to get me -n I am quite sure at 4:30 that I would have been asked to leave - And then a $30. cab ride that I can ill afford. Then I get my labs - I have a urinary tract infection - No mention by my RNP. then I find out the "blue button " where you can access your medical records has been redacted, My RNP had a conversation with my pysc. about the morphine and Xanax and agreed it was ok. it is now GONE from the record. I may have a copy and their are other ways of getting the real record. She is on record as saying that she doubts I can ever come off it - this is probably true IF she wants me to follow her advice about drinking and such. There are always options. Finally, I know my phone does not always ring, but not even a voice mail from Transportation or the patient advocate. I served my country - this is , well you know, TOS and all that otherwise this post would be very Blue - I respect this forum and will be here as long as I have a connection. I signed on the dotted line to have my butt shoot off - what do I get - a political football thanks to the drug seekers and heroin addicts, whom I have a great compassion for. a lot of them have chronic pain and have nowhere to go god forbid they get fentanyl. I am tired, one thing after another is being taken from me, First Cynthia, now my pain meds, she is going to cut me back, suger, no big deal, I love fresh fruit , so I will see what the Psyc. says Friday about my Xanax - it has been a godsend in this time of troubles, I have already tapered down from 4 to 3Mg. tok quite a bit of effort, I almost had a seizure in florida when I did not get my meds - I was on the edge and starting to shake, I was able to pray and meditate until it passes and I could get to the clinic. Seizures are NOT fun, neither and they have no business after twenty years of doing this to me. I am considering going back to my Medicaid Primary for everything But P/M - reasons best left to me. I am disgusted with things and I will not sell my house unless I see one in Bisbee, AZ. a haven for Children of the 60's (Hippies) as I am a child of the sixty's so we shall see - but only if I get my price. Sorry this is long but I am fed up and like the guy in the movie shouted out his window - I am Mad as H--- and I am not going to take it anymore.
Blessings to all

My Faith will sustain me.
I may be having a hard time BUT "God Bless Texas" I am praying for them and sending a little to help. My troubles seem so minor compared to theirs.
