Crazy how you can be in terrible pain and be ordered *by a medical professional* to go to the hospital and the hospital will be like “Well. There’s definitely SOMETHING wrong. But we can’t tell what so here’s a referral to a specialist.” And then the specialist doesn’t have an appointment for another month and you’re like “ok but I’m in a lot of pain and it could be something serious, wtf do I do until then” and the only solution presented to you is “idk just suffer for the next month and pray whatever it is doesn’t kill you I guess”

I was not willing to accept that so I called around and now have an appointment with a different GI specialist on Monday. You gotta advocate for yourself even if it means being a bitch because these people will let your ass sit there and suffer if you don’t

Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

Observed today:

Two little girls playing gently with a daddy long legs.

Girl 1: can it die?

Girl 2, in a calm happy even tone: of course. Like all living things it can and must die.

i understand all that shit about honor and knighthood and solemn vows but “kingslayer” is simply a bad insult. it sounds cool as fuck. might as well call him the landlord annihilator or the billionaire’s bane.

However, can we get a W in the chat for my husband, who volunteered to drive 45 minutes to drop my stool sample off at the hospital’s lab today so I wouldn’t have to. Real men will drive a baggie of your shit to another city without needing to be asked 🙂‍↕️

Friends is it bad if you describe your symptoms to the urgent care nurse and she gives you a really pitying look, hugs you, and says “you need to go to the emergency room right now”

This lady legit looked at me like I was a dog she was about to have to put down Ol Yeller style. That scared me possibly more than anything else she could have done. I walked out of that office KNEES KNOCKING. Called my dad crying to come take me to the hospital. She had me spookedddd

I am home from hospital. They don’t know why I am so sick but there’s a ton of inflammation and maybe also an ulcer in there. Gotta go to a bunch more doctor appointments to figure it out but at least I have some medicine for the time being
