Hello everyone I'm new to this but since I have no family no friends I have found this site online. Bc I need to vent, I was hired on my job with degenerative joint arthritis. 11 months ago only 1 of my knees needed to be replaced at the time. But bc I couldn't stand on my feet for 40 hrs a week, I don't qualify for full time. I have been struggling and hanging in there. Never stopped doing my job, working through the pain and agony. Not knowing that I was destroying my other knee! So as of last month I found out I have to have total knee replacement ugh!! I'm walking on a Cain now barely making it. So I talked with my manager and she put me in a position where I could sit as long as I did my job. I was so greatful bc I can't get health coverage until I make full time and that sucks!! I have been paying out of pocket to see a Dr that can only assist me with minimum low dose pain reliever,and muscle relaxers. But they barely help, seems that in Alabama nurse practitioner can't prescribe controlled substance medication dam that **** sucks!! I moved here from Louisiana and has been through more in this past year and 3 months. Than I have in a long time, but still I keep trying! Life is so depressing and stressful sometimes I just want to give up! I have struggled for 11 months and 1 week with 3 weeks to go. Trying to get this coverage so that I can get my legs fixed. And now they are trying to force me to quit. Life is so extremely hard but why?? Why do humans have to be so heartless it makes no sense!! Sometimes I just wish I was someone else with a more normal healthier life! Thanks to anyone will here me

I hear you

Hugs Meelah I was there before and I’m there in a way to be alive is a blessing although there’s pain take care 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️
