Doctors are only PRACTICING medicine

Why is it some people have to go to doctors more than others?  I feel like I've built more medical buildings than I care to count.  How many hours should I bill my doctors?  Isn't my time as valuable as theirs?  It seems unfair.

On one of my "weekly" visits last week my doctor told me that there was nothing "medically" wrong with me.  She had tested everything she could test.  "Could it be" she asked, "that you're depressed?"

What could I possibly be depressed about?  Well, let's see - Bank account overdrawn by about $300; can't work because I'm sick so there is no money coming in there; separated from my husband; constantly aggravated by a pesky dog.  Did I leave out anything? Oh yes, approximately $50,000 in debt.  SO, she gave me more medicine to take which is for fibromyalgia and depression.  Isn't this where we started?

I don't know - seems very "repetitive" or redundant to me, or is it redundant and repetitive.  Who's to say.  At least I have peace and quiet for a few minutes - "The Beast" is sleeping off her breakfast.

FIRST WEEK BACK

Interesting, if not enjoyable, has never been truer.  I HOPE I can do this.  Lots of pain with walking and standing with going to bed early each night.  Today is Friday and I'm just starting to feel almost okay again.  I don't know -  SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME.

It's good to be back at work.  It's good to be out of the apartment on a steady basis.  And, it is actually good, to make money again.  I "PRAY" I'll be able to do this.
