Thank you for your timely response. My stress level is extremely high as I own a Mobile Nuclear Medicine Imaging Service, contracted to service 4 rule Washington hospitals.
Due to my surgeries I have been unable to physically be at the facilities we service as much as I would like to be.
I try to manage my company the best I can from home. However it not easy when
there is a $ 378K yearly on the line.
Also my oldest son is heading down the wrong path of life after a negative discharge situation from the Marines. I've tried to correct his direction by buying him a franchise so he could at lease live on his income.
He has been disrespectful and ungrateful for what he has been given.
