Lately doing part time work interpreting all around Fresno, California. My assignments take me to all parts of this town that I live in. My days are not so filled with grief over my precious daughter's untimely death and instead my mind is occupied with vocabulary words, medical terminology, etc. It is a good thing to use whatever tool is available to help with my grief. It means I get up extra early, get ready for the days assignments. Today, I met with a lady that hurt her back on the job. She was working in a packing house and her job was to cut the peppers and also to bring back tubs of the peppers from the supply room. Her immediate supervisor was always breathing down her neck yelling at her to go faster and faster. One day she slipped on water, waste and foam from cactus that was all over the floors of the warehouse. Her supervisor had absolutely no compassion and began yelling at her to get up off the floor. She ended up hurting her lower back and leg. From that day forward her pain has gotten worse and that is why she was at the doctor's office. I felt so sad for her as I witnessed the extreme pain she was having while sitting in the waiting room. It reminded me of Jeannette with her pain as she lay in the hospital bed. Almost brought on tears.
