"Bad Habit"


Well another medical adventure. ...this is getting to be a 'bad' habit. 'Just got home from a new hospital event. I had heart attack symptoms,...so I thought. Short breath tightness dizzy scary sort of stuff. So I called 911. As always the crew was neat. I love them folks. So they dragged me over to Brooklyn Methodist.

They tested everything.

Poked, and looked at every part...I mean 'every' part. Mercifully no signs of heart attack or stroke.
Stroke is what takes everybody in my family out. So they gave me all the tests for both events, and I came up wanting. In other words I have to stay here with you guys.

I loves ya! <3 span="">

Thing is though when I woke up at about 1:00am with the symptoms going crazy. I thought in the haziness,"...well here we go."
After a time I was calm peaceful. A sort of "...aw...well...so be it" kind of feeling. Then it turns out to be cramps, and gas. Seriously un-theatrical. How embarrassing.

Life is terrifying, and Hilarious.

Yeah I heard your radio program about your saga with Verison. Btw glad your back from the land of the North. As for "farts" Ummm try agony in my upper chest, and left arm. Sure signs of I thought a bleeping heart attack.

Imagine my surprise to hear it was bullshit.

Uncle Sydney,

Calling the ambulance was a good move on your part. This particular reader of yours has had several kidney stones. On one occasion, when I had what I thought was good insurance, while suffering from renal colic I decided the proper thing to do was to drive myself to the hospital. That is a stupid thing to do.

Now a days when I have a stone I take an aspirin and hope I don't get permanent kidney damage. Just one of the many benefits of the latest version of compassionate conservatism.

No troubles on the kidney stone front just now. I had my first one at the age of 24.

So if you feel unexplained pain, please use that medicare insurance.

Youbetcha!

I'm using that socialist anti-Christ National Health scraps we got up for all it's bleeping worth. I've been paying into that damned action having piles of dough ripped out of my payroll for decades. So you bet I gots no qualms about using it.

That insane republican neo-dark age bunch who are against all government, and think we can be pioneer hunter gatherers are fucking nuts. I'd like to see them treat a heart attack or kidney failure with a flintlock or tree bark.

Comrade use that Medicare/Medicaid till it screams for mercy...use the bleeping hell out of it while we still got it!!!

You'll be glad ya did.

I'd put a smile emoji here if I knew how.
