All as planned. The ground is shifting right beneath our feet and not many are aware. Canada shines as an example of deterioration and decline.
I have been deeply involved in what previously would have been a routine referral to see an ortho Dr. Of course the patient would not normally be even remotely involved in a simple insurance referral ... and would slide into frustration and oblivion. I have spent hours on the phone, conference calls, long holds. I don't even have to identify myself now; they pick up the phone and call me by name. I have been told that all has been worked out - only to discover that it has not.
Of course all this time spent keeps me from personal as well as societal/political concerns. Hmmmmm
Driving an 18 wheeler is also not what it used to be. 😯
Oh for sure I know. I had my CDL taken away from me a few years ago by my State. They now require a ‘State DOT’ Physical. That is new. Well I have not driven in a long while. Of course it is like riding a bicycle, you cannot forget it.
I have not required it in a long time, yet I feel robbed. I earned that thing. I drove for years in Europe, for the Army. It was quite the adventure in my 20s. I saw so much and met so many. I never did it full time as a civilian though, always just moonlighting.
I suppose that I simply have a problem with acknowledging that I am retired. I keep thinking about that 2 Thessalonians 3:10. It does not feel right to me. It is akin to indolence.
