Watch the funniest movie you can think of. Laughter is better for ya than ya might think. For dull pain, big barrels of laughter work better for me than low-grade painkillers.

Feel better Sarge.

Well, i'm fucked again. I'm caught in VA hell. My endo appointment was just bumped 2 weeks. Two more days and I head back to Camp Shelby. At least I can try sick call down there (for free), but I'm afraid the heat will do me in. My life is so, so fucked

Do your best. Or you can just stay home. :)

I can't stay home. I'm under orders. I'm trying to work today, but my fever is 103.1

Sarge I'm worried :(
Please tell me someone above you knows about this and can clear a path to sort things out for you?

Paid out of my pocket to see a doctor. I got a shot of rocephin & started another round of bactrim. It's just a temporary patch. The doctor told me I'm not going to get better until I get the tumors under control.

Sundae, I'm on my own. I'm stuck in the "VA system" which is overloaded. Because of the screwups I made in my personal life, I have no advocate. Truth be told,I'm pretty much alone. I created this mess by putting the Army before my family

Ya'll I can't sleep due to pain. I'm too weak to make it to the bathroom. I'm unable to empty my bladder completely. I've got a "pee jug" here beside me. I know I joke and act the buffoon, but I've reached rock bottom. I can't go on like this. I hurt so bad and I have no one to help me. I don't know what to say

I hear you, Sarge, but I don't know what else to say. Hang in there.

I think Sundae was looking at making sure your commanding officer / supervisor / whatever knows about this, knows about your temperature, etc. They might be able to make a few phone calls to get you fixed up sooner, if only because it is in their interest to look after you.

What he said. Sorry Sarge, you deserve better.

Oh Sarge, what a horrible situation. I'll echo the others and hope that your CO knows where you're at. You say you put the Army before your family, and that means you have nobody and no advocate. The Army now needs to be your advocate. Your immediate superiors who know you and might be able to assist/speak for you.


Feel better soon honey.

Sarge I wish there was more that I could do than wish you better.
I'm too far away to do anything practical and have no idea how your systems work.

If there is anything you can think of - even if it means swallowing your pride - try it.
Start making noise and keep making noise until someone listens.
And yes, you deserve much better.
But you still have your family, they didn't just disappear. And your girls love and need you.

I can't imagine what you are going through, but it sounds bloody awful.
Love and wishes.

Damn...

Thanks for thinking of me, but I honestly have to say that my issue pales in comparison to yours. Don't ever feel guilty for "whining" about it. I don't understand how you manage and I wish I could give you more help than you're getting. Your situation makes my heart ache for you and I really hope you're able to get it sorted out.

Sarge, if I were anywhere close, I'd be there in a hot minute.
