I am a waitress. I love my job; it is great most of the time. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome so being able to waitress is a big deal to me since some days I can’t even walk. I am not able to carry large trays of food because is the weight and the amount of pain that will ensure. Today my manager carried out a large tray for me and I helped place the food down. As she was leaving she asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you?” The older man jokingly said,”Yeah, can we get a new waitress? One that can carry out our food.” I was so surprised that someone could say that. Smiling faking, I left the table and avoided them until I was less upset. That hurt. People need to watch what they say.

I am 18 years old and for the past two years I have been going to endless doctors for my mysterious chronic pain. Right now I can still walk but that is about it. I find it easy to run out of things to do so I made this blog to maybe help others.

That was a mean thing for him to say. Makes you wonder how they would hold up under the pain you endure. It was callous and ugly. Is there a cart that could be used to deliver large orders of food?
