Why do people have to be so uncaring and mean sometimes?
For those of you who don’t know (which is probably most of you), I have been having severe hip pain that can go clear down into my knees and sometimes other places in my legs. I have been unable to stay at work for a full day, except for one day, since two weeks ago last Friday. I hurt at home quite often. I simply sit in my recliner all day. I don’t go out and go shopping any more. I can’t take the kids to their baseball practices or games.
I have tried different medications. One made me deathly ill and the other one made me so sleepy that I could only take a half of one. I am now on an anti-nausea medication to take with a more powerful pain medicine.
I’m writing about this because a situation has arrived in my life where a person was unfeeling towards what is going on. I normally have to do something to back this person up but the pain got so bad on Friday I couldn’t do it. As a result, I brought up something that needed to be done for me and this person said that takes too much time to do what I needed. When it was brought up me not doing what I needed to, I told this person I was in too much pain to do it. This person replied back, “Of course.” In other words, like I am making up this pain.
Believe you me, I would not make this pain up for anything in the world. I wish it had never started to begin with. So then I asked, “Do you not have any compassion?”
This person’s response was simply this: “No.”
I asked, “What, do you think I’m making this up?”
The person said, “I have no opinion.”
I just don’t get how someone cannot care whatsoever. If I could change this I would. My doctor is even going to sign for me to get a handicapped parking permit due to the pain. I am on crutches. At home I try to just use the cane or walk without it but half the time I have to have the cane and when the pain is really bad at home I have to use the crutches. This stinks. I am only 38 years old.
Please pray for my situation is you believe in prayer. I appreciate it.
You hang in there, Kristena. I don’t know why it is, but some people react this way when they can’t see something physically with their own eyes.
I’m praying for you, that God will guide the doctor’s hand to get to the bottom of this, that you would be healed, in Jesus’ name.
Thank you Deborah so much. Your prayers mean the world to me. I know God is in control and that he knows what the plan in all of this is.
