Miss Vicki,

Inappropriate health care is absolutely frustrating. We've all had it at one time or another, and it's not fair that yours is coming at such a crucial time. Other than up and moving to another state with different medical care standards, I cannot think what else to do.

I've found that a hot washcloth over my eyes and/or lilac (or other pretty smells) essential oils are soothing. I remember someone's suggestion of smashing things, like dishes they didn't like, seemed to help.

Vent all you need. It's difficult to go through so much for so long, and still feel that the end simply isn't coming fast enough or at all. If there's are people that understand your ordeal, it's certainly going to be the people here.
