Mate, I simply can’t afford a paid subscription. Sorry. My finances are in a kind of a robbing Peter to pay Paul kind of state. I also developed a condition that led to me no longer able to continue working. I tried for several years to keep the show on the road, but had to throw in the towel just before Covid arrived on the scene. The 25 plus intake of industrial strength painkillers were not enough to enable me, and so, in the words of my doctor, I was officially disabled.
I like the style in which your stack was written. Your honesty, your ability to show your vulnerability, are greatly appreciated and inspiring, so thank you, and I wish you well. 👏✍️
Your account of your post-op experiences was harrowing. I hope some of those problems have resolved. I hate that you've been through so much suffering. Financial insecurity amplifies pain and discomfort, and pain itself drains both spirit and hope.
The forced isolation of the COVID pandemic carried its own awful trauma. And the pandemic left us with broken health-care systems.
The doctors who helped me through 35 years of chronic illness and eventual disability retired during the pandemic. All of them. Every.single.one.
And because of my compromised immune system, I'm still isolating, as it sounds like you are also forced to do.
I know I would prefer to avoid another bout with COVID. Bet you would, too.
I still wear a mask at the doctors and don't go to large gatherings. My immune system compromised. I don't trust people to do the right thing when having COVID. I can't take our stage 1 hospital and rehab private owned places. So greedy and nasty to patients.
COVID being a virus will continue to mutate like the Flu. How dangerous they will have something we monitor. A yearly shot for new mutations are the norm now. But like Polio we may hit the jack pot of one shot for years of protection. We could have stopped COVID at the start but RWers told lies about the COVID safety.
Not enough in Red States listened. 1 million or so died because of those lies. Now the unvaccinated spread COVID variants. They still may die. If they had their shots and then get a recent COVID variant usually they live. Countries who mandated COVID vaccines and masks were back to work sooner than the rest of us. Our economies a mess and many deaths. At this stage it is still with us.
