Week 7 out of 10

I'm in a bit of an angry mood today. I am tired of so many things that have become customary to my life. I am tired of my mother being in pain ALL the time. I know life is not fair, someone let me in on that little secret a long time ago. I also remember someone once telling me you get what you deserve, but I know that is not always the case. My mother has worked all her life. She doesn't have a degree, but she has always been employed. Her health over the years has deteriorated and she has undergone surgeries. She remains in chronic pain. Obviously, she is no longer able to work. However she has applied for disability three times and they have denied her everytime. One of the surgeries included cutting her from hip to hip, and her body rejected the sutures. Many doctors she has seen agree that is it not possible to work in the condition she is in. She would have to undergo more surgery if that was ever to ever be an option again. It makes me mad to know that our country, the best country in the world, cannot do better than that. Our entire healthcare and social service needs reform!
