Here’s hoping all goes well. Could be true but the phrase “might not make it” definitely tends to set off alarm bells among friends.

Apparently the issue is the clots in my lung. Not sure if new or old ones. I need to be on blood thinners or risk the clot traveling and killing me. But the thinner the blood, the more likely I am to bleed too much internally.

Milady sent me a good morning text before she started work today. <3

Sounds like a rough balancing act.

[Jason]

She just offered to visit me in the hospital. Holy moly!

[showa58taro]

Sounds broadly pleasant at least considering the health issue.

Seb.....our healthcare is a joke. The richest fucking country in the world, and we can't get it right. Obamacare sucked. And then the new one is gonna suck more. People here are scared of the word "socialism". They attach that to healthcare, and even libs here are up in arms. Healthcare is something everyone needs.

Good excuse to get some poonanny! Lol

I remember in the 90s, even minimum wage factory jobs offered good healthcare options and cheap. When I worked for Merk, I had no out of pocket expenses. Copay for Drs visits was $20. Generic meds were free. Now that same company (Express Scripts now) is $30 for generics (per month) and $50 for brand name. Doctor's visits are $100. And they have to pay $500 before they even get the "discount".

The idea that you pay that much seems antithetical to modern society.

But the corporations gotta make that money! So we can all reap the benefits!

You mean like the corporation that employs you? Yes, they have to make money or they cannot pay you.

[Foo]

Get well Jason! And I support posting while pooping blood! Shows commitment.

was just tinkering around and came up with this. not horror-y, so didn't feel like it belonged in the banner section.

anyways, here you go.

1. People are overusing the medical industry
2. Do we want good wages for nurses or not?
3. Too many lawsuits to try to avoid and defend. Charge for a bunch of tests you probably don't need because every asshole will sue if you don't

The last caregiver for my aunt caused a house fire in her new home by trying to smoke while on oxygen. 7 people and two kids are now homeless because of her selfishness. Ticks me off, as I had to watch her like a hawk while she was here.

[Foo]

She called me asking about a bunch of her stuff she left behind. She left her area a total disaster for me to clean up. I told her it was all disposed of and asked her if there was a gofundme set up for her victims yet.

I like how the shaded and faded colors work together.
