| Am I the only person that doesn't get this video? I couldn't really make out the words being sung, but the video was interesting. Maybe it's my pain medication making my brain fuzzy. Sadly, King And Lionheart by Of Monsters And Men did not inspire me in any way. |
| Took a trip to the doctor to get some advice on Paco. I decided to name my hernia. I'm better today than Thursday. But it still needs to be taken care of eventually. I'm supposed to stay off my feet this week and see how much more the swelling goes down and if the pain goes away. After that, no bending, lifting, reaching, or sex. Yep, no using the stomach muscles whatsoever. Paco is an umbilical hernia. I talked to HR at Hubby's work. He can add me to his insurance at the end of August and it will go into effect September. We don't have it now because the cost is pretty much equal to our car payment. Plus, the deductible is 5K. The plan is to cut our budget down as much as possible so that all of that won't hurt us so much when the time comes. But I realize that I need to take care of myself better. I'm not alone and it's okay to ask for help. I can't do it all, but that's okay too. |
| One thing after another. Now I have a umbillacle hernia. Resting til Sunday and then deciding whether or I not to go to the ER or make an appointment. I don't think health insurance would make much of a difference at this point. The weekly cost would hurt us, but we'd also never be able to pay the deductable for surgery. I feel like February slipped away from me. The first couple of weeks were good and then all hell broke loose. Now that it's calm, I'm stuck. I'm restless, but unmotivated. I've got lists of things I need and want to do, but I can't seem to follow through. I suppose I better go tell my daughter I'm not going be able to take her to Austin Tuesday. We were going on a field trip and to stop a visit a friend that will be in town. Not only do I doubt my ability to drive 5 hours while in agonizing pain, but I think we're going to need the money I had set aside for medical expenses. |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
