hoping this was the final fever
i feel like absolute death today, and I need a (normal) hyper potion to get me back on my feet
but I think my brain's done trying to cook itself from the inside out like an eternally spinning 7-Eleven hot dog
Neer, you're making me so nervous seeing you endure this fever for almost a week because of the medical bills concerns. Please please go to the docs if it persists. Make a GoFundMe if necessary to cover the bills, I'm sure people will help out. Your health is more important 🙏
having lost my job nine months ago and having been denied unemployment and having almost nothing to carry me except my art... and being unable to draw because I got sick, it's just...
I can't risk taking on more debt, and I don't want to have to beg for help. I had to do that last time. =/
i'm still paying off major debt from last year when my tooth exploded and my dentist was like "haha, you got the wrong medical insurance, we won't cover a god damn thing"
i don't want more medical debt
i'm tired
the last time I went to a hospital it cost me $12K just to hear "I dunno, we don't see anything wrong with you."
And the time before that was about $7K to be told "I dunno, we don't see anything wrong with you."
And the time before that...
I can tell myself that for free.
A fever this long means something is really wrong. You should not be taking this lightly. Anything over 101 is a pretty substantial concern. I had a slightly elevated heart rate one night. Lasted more than an hour. Turned out to be a pulmonary embolism, doctor said I was lucky to still be alive.
