Really? $1.6K JUST for a follow-up appointment with the pulmonologist? I mean, at least it's not $25K... again, but trying not to die in America is just absurdly expensive.

been coughing for four hours straight, can't sleep, lungs will eat me

hah.

although this pic almost gave me a panic, as it's really close to being a full mask, something I have a really weird phobia about. took my brain a second. XD

While I don't need a mask, I often think about wearing one due to my lung infection. The side effects of what I have are kinda nasty, and the idea somebody would want to fine me because I'm TRYING to be courteous amount my condition...

The big bar of soap!

I'm so sorry, man. Nobody deserves to go through that.

It's the local hospital, not the good UVA I went to in Charlottesville. She just seemed completely unsympathetic.

"Come in right now, or else."
I can't. I'm far too sick.

Like, what do they want me to do.

I dunno. She asked me to come in right away, and I was like... look, I can't. I'm too sick. I can't take five steps without running out of breath, and then said "well, this is the third time we tried to contact you, you're being uncooperative."

the last time you tried y'all did it during my surgery

hospital called me to be like, "can you come in right now to see if you qualify for medicaid?"
no, too sick
"okay, well, you're being uncooperative so we're going to close your account to see if you quality for financial assistance."

Okay, fuck you too, UVA.

No, I can't really play games most days because of my sickness.

I'm doing what I can!

Adventurer, my sheep have run amok...

also, will have to watch later. anything that makes me laugh sends me into painful coughing fits

i really like the episode where they learn to be pirates

G'morning! Nice day for fishin', ain't it? Huh-huah!

A hug is welcome. <3

thankfully, the fevers aren't hitting as hard anymore, but I'm still dealing with massive brain fog, and i cough so hard it's causing other parts of my body to hurt (which I find amusing).

Just got a follow by them, too.

I think the weirdest part of is it is he said he wanted to eat it.

It's like, well... I know how RFK Jr caught flesh eating brain worms now.

I wanna be happy, but I'm hitting a depression phase of this sickness because I can't do anything. I can't draw, can't do FA dev, I can barely play games because of these constant fevers and brain fog.

It's just exhausting.

They said 5-7 business days, so I should know by end of the week.

Yeah, but you respond. You actually care. <3 That's the difference.

Yeah, like... it happens maybe twice a day, and it's frustrating me. I wouldn't care if they didn't *specifically* ask, but then it's like... to just get ignored after just feels bad.

I already feel worthless and useless because I can't do anything because of my illness. This just adds to that. =/

"Hey, how you feeling? You doing alright?"
*detailed response of the health challenges he's dealing with*
*no response*

This keeps happening, and it's bumming me out. Don't ask how I'm doing if you don't really wanna know, and then ignore me. I'm sick as fuck, and this makes me feel worse. =/

cherry!

I just wanna be happy.

👀

fisch!

Maybe, but I'm gonna need regular walkies.

Why can't I be a sylveon in real life? Shit's unfair, yo.
