"Chronic pain"...
is a thief....
It breaks into your body and robs
you blind....
With lightning fingers, it can take
away your livelihood,
your marriage,
your friends,
your favorite pastimes
and
big chunks of your personality.
Left unapprehended...
it will steal
your days and your nights
until the world has collapsed...
into a cramped cell....
of suffering."
Time Magazine, Feb. 28, 2005 ~*~ THE MASK ~*~~*~ THE MASK ~*~
A mask I wear, most every day.. not a single clue, dose it give away. Every day, hidden in the dark.. behind a face, completely stark. Afraid to let the people see..
any real part of me
But I've worn this mask for so very long.. and when I take it off, things just go wrong. I scream for help, but no-one hears.. and no-one seems to see the tears. For the mask, it seems to hold too well.. and keeps me in my private hell.
Any hope of escape just fade's away.. bit by bit, day by day. The higher I reach, the further I fall.. as I try to climb over my prison wall. Still I dream of escape, to one day be free.. for one day, someone to realy see ME.

YOU MATTER!!
October 03 Callie's GOAL's as a Wearer of MANY HATSMY GOAL IS TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LOOKING AWAY
and Make a place in this World for
Letting Positive Voices Be Heard..
about Me..
I am a Baby boomer..
May 64' Year and Month of the Dragon, sign of the bull..
Must give me my direction for determination..
My need to find solace in the study of Native American Culture gives me much of my Inner Peace. Can't help being a Positive thinker...
I have always worked with children, now families with children with mental illness, and people with disabilities.
My goal long before this illness ( brain malformation struck me down ) was to open a center for disabled and elderly and children could come and be one with the earth.
Open a community garden... give children a safe place to go, learn fine arts... get their hands dirty... growing food for their home and the community... give people a chance to work with computers... give people a chance to not to be isolated by their disabilities or illnesses OR INCOME and come be together in groups to learn things such as arts and crafts, peer group chats, in a safe environment, SO many people with "Labels" are literally unable to leave their homes or communicate with others because of Lack of transportation.
I was unable to get access to medical care because of the transportation systems LIABILITY ( even on the disabled busses) Because I was alone. I own a car, but my children a too young to drive, I am unable and my father was blind.. no one here could give us a ride...
I had to call Elder abuse at age 41
( because I am disabled I qualify as Elderly) on MYSELF..
but because I was STUCK, not abused they could no NOTHING to help me, that was
the advice my congressman gave me
THE SYSTEM is Broken people...
and
starting with Just ONE voice, we CAN make a difference FOR ALL people, not just me but Millions of people Like me.
I have my dream and WILL find a way to make it come true for people around here..
I hope others will care enough to start things like this in their areas too.. Make a difference on town at a time..
Call you state representatives...
Let them know you are tired of our tax dollars being wasted on tests that go to medical records and Not being used to help the people being Radiated, and not helped...
Medicare pays for it, but they don't follow up to find out what IS and IS NOT being done..
YOU STILL PAY THE BILLS...
People with disabilities can't even get the help, we all assume are being GIVEN to them , and most do not even know they are supposed to get because NO ONE tells them they SHOULD have! Then people have to WORK.. they get paid to work for it anyway, but they don’t actually do anything...the Big tax SINK HOLE..
Medicare is only going broke because they spend Millions of dollars on things that are being done but when we report that there is NOTHING being done CORRECTLY, they have no system in place to send the FRAUD reports TOO...
no boss, no working numbers, NOTHING in place to STOP the fraud...
FLUSHING your tax dollars away, and crying to change the system, when the SYSTEM is the one who is wasting our money...
I worked 17 years, 70 + hours a week for my disability money... I would gladly earn a paycheck again, but Dept of Rehab says, "You are UNABLE TO WORK, NOT HIRABLE"... just like millions more like me... Give us a chance, retrain us with these MODERN tech jobs, stop outsourcing, we will take lower paying jobs to EARN our medical and checks...
We have pride and DO NOT want to be shoved in a corner and be told we are UNABLE...
Put us in jobs with hospitals and medical situations where we can use our skills patients NOT doctors where we can listen to patients.... Help to weed out the ones who just want meds, from those who need Physc help maybe, from those who obviously need drug rehab, to those who have OBVIOUS Home problems and would benefit from having a social worker
HELP THEM OUT WITH THE SYSTEM, and getting them through the HEALTH System of care, Medical ADVOCATES, save the hospitals and Medical systems MILLIONS of dollars and stop making these patients more depressed, putting them on needless medications because they are stuck in the PIT of medicine, and run around, because NO ONE is listening to them...
AND then they DARE to CALL us DEPRESSED and WANT to FOR us onto to MECIACATIONS FOR THAT!
Do not tell me things like that are not needed, or wanted by patients and
WILL NOT save MILLIONS of dollars a YEAR, Billions even...and LIVES because these people give up feeling helpless and hopeless, and worse yet, like everything is IN THEIR heads because NO ONE is reading and putting their tests together and FOLLOWING up on their medical care...
No one but a patient who has been stuck in this situation can understand more.. they do not teach that in Medical school, and you do NOT have to be a doctor to know how that feels...doubt any doctor could..
Tell me again why it is they say WE CANNOT WORK???
Let me hear from you if you have been through things like this and want to join forces ...
I am willing to help anyone who has problems with the systems in their area, if I can..
if I can't I will try and help find someone who can...
Let YOUR voice be heard here too..

Callie October 01 Welcome to OUR HAT CLUBHey sweetieS....
I have always preferred to call the "labels" doctors give people.. all sorts of people.. disabled, injured, sick..
" Hats" It's something In addition to WHO we are, Just like our Bodies..
Hats MAKE us appear This way or that... They can Cause feelings and emotions to change..
Situations in life to become different..
Some places do not allow you to ENTER with a HAT..
Some Places they are just not accepted or stand far apart within/without the crowd With a HAT
SOMETIMES... a
HAT is just so hard to get at all let alone the one or ONES that truly FIT
For all of My fellow HAT wearers
I SOLUTE YOU...
AND
"HATS ARE WELCOME HERE"
so are Family, friends, Loved ones
and CARE TAKERS of
