It's been a bad week

It’s been a rough week.
My new TV, that is only 6 weeks old, has developed a blue tint. All my efforts to correct the problem have not worked. I can’t find how to do a factory reset, so I have an e-mail into RCA to see if they can tell me how to do a reset and hope that fixes the problem.

I bought it at Wal-Mart and I threw away the box, so I doubt they will take it back. Most likely I will have to ship it to a repair center and that will probably cost more the TV for shipping.
The quality is just not in the workmanship.

I’ve had some left side paralysis this week. It started Friday with the numbness and pain in the left arm. I get that once in a while, but it spread to my face and yesterday I was talking funny and my whole left side of the face was droopy.

As I write this I still have the pain and numbness in the left arm and also in the left foot. I had some mental confusion earlier in the week as well. I could not make sense of what I was reading. The words seemed to be reversed and I had a very hard time focusing my mind on anything. My vision also was blurry. The left eye is still blurry.

I have no idea what is causing this, but I’m sure it is not normal.
I can only hope that it does not get worse.

I’m wondering if my neighbor’s drug use could be causing any of this. There are several pot smokers on my floor, and I doubt that pot would cause any of these symptoms by itself, but who knows what it might be laced with.

There are also crack smokers on my floor. The smell is definitely of something burning, and it is from more than one apartment, and it is not food or pot. One of the only other “clean” people that live on my floor tells me it is crack. There have been 2 small fires in apartments that we believe were crack related. The most recent was last night.

This is not a safe building. I really don’t feel comfortable here.

Today I did not get to sleep till 11am and at 2pm I was jolted awake to a pounding on my door. The pounding was so loud and constant that I thought there must be an emergency. I opened the door to find a shaggy looking man that looked like a drug user / dealer. He was looking for one of my neighbors.

My guess is he either was making a delivery, looking to collect money, or in need of a fix. It was a scary experience.

I’m afraid to say anything to management for fear of retaliation.
I’m not sure what to do.

In other news, Randy, the guy from Greene, NY came on Sunday and picked up the 8 ½ foot dish. I hope he enjoys it. I was sad to see it go. It’s just one more piece of my life that I have to give up.

Most people by the time they hit their late 30’s have a wife and kids, or at least a girlfriend and many are trying to buy a home. This should be the time when I have built a solid foundation with a good job and a healthy relationship and be looking to the future and to all the good things to come.

Instead, I look to the future with dread of how much more I am going to lose.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel, no happy ending, no American dream.
