Im able to get any treatment for my other issue that may further delay or complicate surgery is by going to the ER which obviously is unhelpful advice because out of the 4 times I’ve been in the last 3 months only 1 of them I was taken seriously. Now im at higher infection risk since they mistimed my antibiotics, at risk for bleeds and infections due to a GI bleed with unknown source, and higher risk for complications My boss wants a clear timeline but it’s a bumpy road at best (2/?)

And i definitely don’t blame them its just frustrating how everything demands we are perfect yet it fucks us from all directions. I have barely had any communication about recovery from my team so I have no exact numbers, which puts a strain on my job which im already missing 3-4 weeks of and underperforming because of how sick im getting. And theres always more blame than sympathy, and I hate that this isn’t anyone’s fault, its a system and a mental indoctrination of health ingrained and (3/?)

Quite healthy, so I was treated as if I was lazy, incapable for the longest time despite my achievements. Now that disability is what is clearly the cause, they reject it. I feel like everything turned against me all at once and it’s invigorating that we have no option but to live in a world that fucks us over in every imaginable possible way, then we are to blame for reacting, for the repercussions, and then for how much sicker we get. I dont know i needed to let it out someway💀 (6/6)
