Ill got first.
I felt a bit nauseous coming back from work one day last week so I went straight to bed without eating.
The next morning I was quite hungry and once I had driven to work I went to a Tesco Superstore with a hankering for a banana.
Cue stupidity. I went to the adjoining Costa to use the bathroom and quickly scanned for bananas, which they didn’t have so I bought an overpriced toastie instead.
A few days later I’m sat mind wandering and I think I was in Tesco with thousands of bananas but I just checked Costa. Sigh
I got cancer while living in a country without socialized medicine. Yup, pretty dumb.
Well that was silly wasn’t it.
I hope you’re kicking cancers ass.
I’m so sorry. US? I got appendicitis here, and it has really ruined any chance of being able to ever retire.
Yup, it’s pretty brutal. I’m sorry to hear that for you, too. I have spent my life being furious at how horribly this nation treats people with difficult diseases, and now I’m facing it myself. Feels pretty fucking pointless to keep trying, personally.
I know the feeling. Ironically, this very line of thinking got me sent to the psych ward (which was worse than jail and less helpful) and slapped with another bill. The whole system is designed to exploit, not to cure.
I hope you find yourself in good health again. This system is atrocious, nobody deserves to go without, or to choose health vs. living costs, or to not retire because they got appendicitis. This level of greed and cruelty is absolutely horrifying.
