I drove through a rainbow
No lie. It was very rainy today and the meterologists were off again. 57 today? Nope, never got over 44 but eh I'm okay with the cold (my knee says I'm nuts) On the way home in the rain the rainbow literally ended before me on the highway...
So I did spend a lot of money today on the car (oil/air filters) but that's done for now I drive so much so money well spent.
I saw the vascular surgeon. Good news: exactly as I read the report, my leg is fine. Bad news: he says you know stents fail.
Me: yes it's inevitable
Doc: it's behind your knee where it should never be but with the trauma there's no choice
Me: yeah I figured that (it is of course constantly being bent and kinked and even lying in bed, it's caught between the meat of my leg and the mattress)
Doc: We'll eventually have to fix it to save the leg. It'll be better to not replace the stent but bypass it
Me: Oh, okay (that's a surprise)
Doc: DO NOT do anything about your varicose veins. We're going to need those later to build a new bypass for your leg (or we'll have to go digging in your arms)
Me: ah...that's news to me. Okay sure.
Doc: Leaving you on every 6 months for dopplers.
Me: fine.
I'm okay to fly. No need to worry about the one blocked (trauma) artery as it is collateralized and I asked about neurogenic claudication. The back doc will deal with that but it often DOES NOT require surgery but rather injections (of what I do not know)
Then I go home and once again Medical Mutual proves to be the worst insurance on the face of the planet. After going thru 6 weeks of PT at their request, the once again denied the MRI to find out what is causing blood flow to my leg to stop saying it's not medically necessary because I didn't do any PT or drugs. Meanwhile yes I have. Calling them tomorrow but this insurance is good for one thing: making whoever has it feel hopeless. The only excuse I can think of is maybe the PT people haven't billed them (I need to go check)
I can't go on NSAIDs like they want because I'm on blood thinners (one is a NSAID). You add higher dose NSAIDs to that I can have a GI bleed, kidney damage or a hemorrhagic stroke and if these decisions were being made by doctors instead of bean counters this would not be an issue.
And for fannish 50 here are more recs and some vids
Sometimes you just have to laugh at your fandom and we have Honest Trailers to help us do that. Towards the end of this one I felt very called out when it puts up the 'please clap' signs because dammit if I didn't when I saw this at the theater.
Black Gryphon dropped a new Alastor song. Like I said I am in awe of how many fan songs I see these days (I mean we had filk songs back in the day but they weren't nearly as common as songs are now) Here's the new one, not quite as good as the first IMO but I liked it.
and I think I've shared the first one before and honestly I'm with the people calling for this one to get professionally animated (like Addict did)
