Ever feel like you just got to vent? I am so upset right now. I have a friend who has diabetes and I have had a big fight with him. He ran out of test strips and he is arguing with me the insurance company will not fill it till Saturday. His sugar bounces around like a ping pong ball HE NEEDS HIS STRIPS. I told him to call his doctor and get the doctor to call the insurance company and sort it out for him. But he argues like the insurance company has the last say on it like they are GOD ALMIGHTY. I tried to tell him the insurance company's job is to pay as little as they can, and to bluff him into not spending more. I told him the doctor would have been able to make them give him his strips, but he did not want to hear it. I ended up in tears because I lost a family member to diabetes and am in no hurry to lose someone else I love. Love sucks! All it is good for is making people cry. I was in such a good mood and in less then 2 hrs it crashed down into tears. I should be in bed but no way can I sleep now if I try I will end up with nightmares.
Seriously what the hell is with men? Why do they not take care of their health? Are they really stupid enough to think they are going to live forever? First my brother neglects his heart blockages for 10 years and winds up with a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery in Nov. Then he has cancer in the mouth bone and some of the lymph nodes. As a result he had to have surgery to remove the cancer and they just did reconstructive surgery on him Monday. We hope he will be ok. With that going on and my friend dying this week I really do not need to worry about another friend. My brother-in-law's sugar killed him at age 50. This friend is already more then 50 and I am worried for him. Can anyone tell me why men do not take better care of their health? Do they all have death wishes? Or do they all think they are indestructible? My brother-in-law missed seeing his youngest daughter graduate collage. He missed all his kids weddings, and he never got to see his 5 grandchildren. Every Christmas eve my sister morns his loss Christmas eve is their anniversary and she feels it most then. Her children try to take her mind off it but it always creeps back to her mind when they go home at night and she is once again all alone.
These men that do not take care of their health are not thinking about those they will leave behind. They do not consider the sorrow and loss their family will feel when they are gone. It is sad to think of the loss my friends family will feel when he is gone if he keeps neglecting his health like this. Thank you all for letting me vent a little maybe I will be able to get some sleep later.
