composing this in “hall bed” at emergency room, drankin saline solution thru stigmata. was weak all day and slightly short of breath.
not lookin forward to the bill. the way the insurance tango works i might not know the final tally for months, or might find out in a week. that is to say, i might come to y’all with hat in hand again at some point in that time frame.
fun how so few people here wear masks. minimizing my household’s exposure to crud by having no company in here.
i’ve queued this post so if it goes live with nothing after this point, you can assume i’m dead or otherwise unavailable. be concerned if the rest of my queue starts rolling out one day at a time, posts with titles but no text other than a hasty note to myself or a keysmash.
i’m sure it won’t be like that, but this is a weird one for me, and who knows? will it be better for them to discover nothing or for them to find out i have something annoying or expensive to treat?
will i contract covid in here? will the visit be worse for my health than muddling thru without help?
will check in later…
nothing! they found nothing. i don’t think they ran the most expensive tests so i’ll probably be coo. just gotta get up the gumption to stop smoking my sick leave.
yeah, back home, had dinner, feel better – if a bit frail. what will i feel like tomorrow morning? stay tuned lol.

Sorry to learn about this. We took my father to the ER three weeks ago, and it’s been hospital hell with an ER visit, a hospital stay, a rehab clinic, and another hospital. We’re probably bringing him home today, but it’s been a long three weeks and he’s going to need further in-home care.
Get well, and stay out of the damned hospitals.
i don’t feel s bad today, fingers crossed.
I’m so sorry you ended up in the ER – I’m glad you’re OK, and feeling better. But do keep tabs on yourself, and go back if you need to! And yes, you can totally get some kind of **whatever** in the ER. The Partner works there, so I’m not just guessing.
I hope you get well and stay well and the ER stay was as cheap as possible.
Sorry to hear about your recent battle with whatever. Glad to hear you’re feeling better.
Best of luck to you on that front. I know something about medical debt (lots of MRIs and CT scans, radiation and chemotherapy).
pokey pokes. the more visible stigmata is just a random owie, there’s a lil bro to it where needle went in.
I hope that’s all there was to whatever it was, and you feel better and better, also that the bill is silly low.
thx for the well wishes ye all, healthwise and moneywise
I join with the other posters in hoping that you stay well and that the bill is small!
I will raise a glass to your physical and financial health.
Overall, today was massively better, so thanks. I’m going to assume it was due to this sorcery.
