The fact that you're going through all the bad medical jazz and still trying to put up a retaining wall made me chuckle a bit, cause I've been there. I dunno what it is about hard labor when your bodies giving out, just makes you feel better.

Let me know when you're settled down so I can send you Xenoblade, okay?
Stay strong, man.
I wouldn't have what anyone would consider a chronic illness, nor do I have any sort of extended hospital visits or long term treatment plans. More that my problem is orthopedic, in both my knees and my right shoulder.
For relation, I've been aggressively stabbed before. You know, in the "I'm going to vigorously stick a knife in you in order to kill you" type of aggressively stabbed. This would be about a 9 on the normal person/medical understanding of the hospital pain scale. As such, from a comparison point of view, I constantly roll with a 3 or 4 on the pain scale in my joints. It feels like I have literal knives as ligaments for my kneecaps, if you need an image... and yeah, knowing what knives feel like inside the body, I'm not exaggerating.
So, as such, I can imagine the pain that you guys are going through when you don't have meds, as I've probably flirted with it's cousin from time to time. I also know that there isn't any real response someone can give that will make it any better for more than an instant. But... sometimes, an instant is all you need.
Fucking feel better.
Had my 2nd of 3 root canals today. Going ok, but I've had an earache the past few days...or feels like it.
Maybe it's just jaw pain.
Going to the doctor on a late lunch to see what the deal is.
Can they do a knee replacement or anything?
Do you have insurance through your employer or independently?
Me too, I am so glad I am in Canada and this 2 week hospital stay and surgery isn't going to cost me anything (although it will cost my insurance ~100 a day for my semiprivate room).
yeah well we get to own all the guns we want, so
The problem with my knees is a "congenital malformity exacerbated by trauma, leading to the development of chronic Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, hypermobility, and structural damage to the skeletal system of the R/L legs." made worse by "hypermobility of the tarsal and metatarsal of the R/L foot."
Which basically means, I got ran over by a car and hyperextended both of my knees. Come to find out the bottom of my femur is shaped wrong, so getting run over really fucked it up, leading to; scar tissue, stretched ligaments, bone spurs, and micro fractures that are caused by moving. This is all made worse by the fact that the arch of my foot is double jointed, so while I have great arches any time I put weight on them they aren't there and I'm basically flat footed.
The only way they would be able to fix this is to amputate my legs above the knee, chop out the entirety of the knee's structure, make a replacement out of rattan-bone, and hope that my body; A) doesn't reject it, and B) my calves and feet don't die in the process of removal. In 20 years this might actually be an option, as they could flash clone a replacement instead of filling me full of wicker... but right now I'm pretty much fucked.
while not having nhs is super shitty

Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Whoop, back at Mayo for me. And next month I get to move out of my apartment since I haven't found a job and can't afford my apartment and my insurance! Whoop whoop.

Christ on a bike.
Yeah, this is one of my great fears.
I mean, at this point it looks like my long term plan may involve moving to America, so I'd better be able to get a job with damn good health insurance.
Otherwise I will be.
Fucked.
Why can't you get your... reasons to move to the UK? Then we can keep you going on the NHS.
Reasons abound, actually, job markets, mortgages, etc.
I mean, nothing's set in stone yet, but it seems more likely for things to work if I move there.
Hmmmmm.
I shan't hold you back, but I am concerned for your health!
It's cool, backup plan is to win the Euromillions, pay off the mortgage and eliminate the job market concern by paying for everything from my vast winnings, then we could live wherever the fuck we wanted!
My fingers are crossed for you!
Do better than that, rig the results in my favour!
Yes, curry favor with the flower girl. That'll get you places.

Look, think this through.
1: She works as a florist, floristry isn't even a real thing, flowers became extinct in 2006!
2: She is small and unimposing.
3: She is perceived by all as supremely innocent.
Conclusion: She is very clearly a super-spy.

We've facebooked, that's as intimate as you can get. You are timid.

I saw a trailer the other day for Titanic the other day Munkus and thought of you and the whole confusing bow thing.
Oh God.
Oh God.
I can only imagine what carnal imagery you would have conjured if I had suggested anything Titantic.
