Rant #3,751: Nowhere Man

More and more time spent on the phone yesterday morning: 

For my son, I found out, without a shadow of a doubt, that no one I spoke to can help him, in any way.

He has the next step of his assessment scheduled for next Tuesday morning, so that is what we are focused on.

For myself, I found out that the procedure I was scheduled to have on Friday is not going to happen, simply because what I was led to believe the procedure would do is not why the doctor prescribed the procedure in the first place.

I have had after-effects from the prostate procedure I had in November, and this latest procedure is completely unnecessary, at least at this point in time, so I am not having it done.

I thought that the procedure was directly tied into my problem, and since it isn't and doesn't impact me at all, why fix something that isn't broken?

And it isn't just me--other medical people questioned why the doctor was having me undergo the procedure, and I thought it had to do with my problem--

Which I was told yesterday it did not--

And by the very office that prescribed the procedure.

Like they say on the Internet, WTF?

WTF?

WTF?

Yes, this has been a very frustrating time for myself and my family, and I have heard enough double talk during the past few weeks to last me a lifetime.

So, the end result of all of this is:

My son is no closer to getting a job than he ever was.

I am no closer to finding a solution to my problem than I ever was.

And all of this is very frustrating.

People whose main function at their jobs is helping those in need are doing just the opposite, and I am at my wits' end trying to figure out why all of this is happening.

I can't figure it out, but I am through banging my head against the wall trying to do just that.

We have to push on, even if it is to nowhere, which is where it has been going lately.

I simply don't know what else can be done on either front, but we can't just stop; we have to keep on going--

Even if is a complete and total waste of time, which it truly is.

I simply want two things:

I want my son to get a new job.

I want to be 100 percent cured of what ails me.

Are those two things too much to ask?

I think not.
