Morning! Morning, morning!

Irving, glad to hear your Mom-I-L is progressing nicely. Shame about that ambulance thing, though. Total slackness sometimes, what goes in Jamaica's health system. Supposedly we have social health care, but when you see how poorly equipped public hospitals are, it almost makes you want to pay just to get better service. Then again, we were paying once upon a time, but was it much better? I don't know for sure...Anyway, on the good news side, 3 more sleeps, and it's all over. Cry those tears, girl, those are HAPPY tears! Let them gush.

Propers, keep the faith! Mr. P, how is football season shaping up so far, what you think?

Psalm75, SQ, Meg, we are almost half-way through September, you guys are coming up on the 5-6 months' mark (since KG has your files)! Keep your ears close to the ground as September winds down!

 

[Mrs Proper]

Well jus got off the phone with MP again. Trinidad has called her back today and said they are doing a search of his meds. She said it could be sitting on someones desk somewhere, really???? Wth is wrong with pos?? I guess they don't get that they go home to their family everynight and we don't! So MP said to wait for a week until pos calls her back. Ugh another week I swear I jus wanna curl up in a ball and cry!!! I'm telling you his meds are gonna expire with no word and we will have to do it all over again. I'm sorry everyone I'm jus so down and frustrated I'm tired of waiting to hear about the meds. Its been going on since april and I can't believe nothing been done.
Everytime I pass someone I know they are asking if I'm ok and what's going on and I wanna break down right then and there. I can't wait to feel the joy of knowing mr proper is coming home. Me and the kids miss him so much and we jus need him here!!

 

[Kedeisha]

Mrs P wow POS lost your meds they can own up to that so now its gonna be a wait for them to ask for redo all of this from June when u have been asking not cool man

 

[Mrs Proper]

Trust me ked you have no idea the emotions going thro me right now. I doubt its jus sitting there on someones desk. So I asked MP if we could get the doctor to fax and she told me to wait to see if they find it next week. They aren't gonna find it been so long!!

 

[CharlieD10]

That is rubbish, Mrs P. POS is a POS right about now, for so many reasons! Can't believe they can do crap like this, to people who are paying them to get this thing done. I mean, they do realise they aren't doing anyone a favour, right?! Grrr.

Deep breaths, Mrs P. It's hard, and so understandable how you feel right now.

 

[Irving]

mrs proper.. Im so sorry! What day does Propers med expire? I know your sad, this is just so frustrating for you all! take care girl.
Charlie... WE ARE PAYING!!! thats the crazy part, paying for the ambulance, and prepaying for the test..you pay and you still wait...wonderful!

 

[Mrs Proper]

His meds expire end of october. I know we still have time but its cutting it so close especially when to get yer pp back takes 2-4 weeks :S I'm jus so tired of hearing wait a few days wait a week.. All these days start to add up and waste so much time!!

 

[Irving]

it was 2 weeks for hubby.. so this could still happen.. hold on to the hope!

 

[Mrs Proper]

I'm trying so hard. We really had hope this was our week well I will pray now for next week!!!

 

[CharlieD10]

Irving, you're kidding me! OMG that is so wrong. I tell you...even when you pay, they are shabby!

 

[proper]

Good morning everyone...

Not in a great mood this morning as you can tell from the wife's posts. Frustrating when you think after waiting all this time i might have to do it all over again. If they cant find it, whats the purpose in having fax if you don't use it??
I thought them asking for the Dr's name and dates meant they were gonna contact her and have her fax it to them but i guess not. Just another weeks wait before they send me another redo letter which is gonna take another 3 weeks for me to get.

Didn't get to watch my team charlie but i know they lost but even that doesn't bother me, got too much on my mind.
If I'm right, Mr Irving's mom is at Cornwall regional and it kinda sucks there cause they don't have certain machines there so people have to go to radiology west for certain tests. I remember when i went for my chest xray during my medical there were a lot of people coming in from the hospital for tests.

 

[CharlieD10]

Morning Mr P. Glad you dropped by, in spite of being in a not so great mood, with very good reason. I don't know, I just think POS is going on with pure slackness.

 

[proper]

yea i know, my 90 days expired on july 20th and yesterday was Sept 12th.... Why does it take them almost 2 months after the 90 days they set themselves to even start looking for my medical??

They say beggars have no choice and we are pretty much beggars when it comes to this process but we are people first and we have feelings. we hurt and we miss our families. it cost us emotionally and financially with each and every delay.. redo's arent free. I'm sorry guys, just feels like my head gonna bust sometimes...

 

[CharlieD10]

See, Mr P...right there you touch on the two things that get to me most about this process. One, we are not beggars in this process, this is something we pay for. God knows sometimes sponsors and applicants have to scrape to put together all the fees, plus expenses, that this process involves. Yet embassies like KG and POS treat us as if we are begging them to do us a favour. They get paid to do this. It is their job. If they don't want to do it, if they don't like doing it, if they can't bring themselves to do it with a modicum of efficiency and some standard of service to paying customers, then they need to get the hell out of it. Just saying.

Add to all those fees and expenses that it costs us to maintain our relationships because we are so far from our families, with paying for phone calls, internet service, plane tickets...well, over time it adds up. Between the airlines, the utility companies and immigration, we have no money left.

The second thing is...every one of those packages that they sit in their offices every day ignoring represents PEOPLE. Not inanimate objects. People, with feelings, and needs, and hopes, and plans and dreams. And all of these are affected while they jerk our files around, doing nothing or worse, doing foolishness.

Sorry to get off on a rant, folks. I'm just annoyed at the whole situation for Mr and Mrs P, and couldn't contain it. *deep breath* K...lunch time.
