Oh Chelee

Besides your TMs and scans not being able to be done for 2 weeks, you still have to put up with all the downright meanness of your medical team.

Isn't there anywhere else you can go? It almost seems like a vet would do better. You need a new medical team girl. At least a team that will treat you like a human being and a valued partner.

I am wrapping my arms around you.
