Lots of people have been asking me lately how I've been doing medically, and the answer is somewhat false. Phsysically, I feel fine. I've been loosing weight, I feel okay. The only problem I'm having lately is these goddamned bloody noses. Apparently, according to my buddy who has Hodgkins, it's a major symptom. Well, I knew this. Here's the story.
I applied for Medicaid when I lived at the house, and because I had a job, I didn't qualify. Well, the job I have is just a small business.. no benefits. I can't afford insurance any other way. Also, on top of everything else, if I do somehow manage to get the treatments I need, I'm going to need to be out of work for at least 6 months, and I have no idea how the bills are going to be paid. I have two other people that I live with. Also, I have no place else to go. My own parents won't take me in if I have to be bedridden for 6 months. So, what are my options? Be out of work and get healthy, but be homeless, or work and pay the bills and get more sick and eventually die? Right now, option B is the only one that is working for me. I'm in this whole thing alone, and I don't give a shit, really. So right now, I'm going to do what I want, when I want, because I don't know when this thing will kill me, but eventually it will. But I won't go down without a fight. A long, hard fucking battle.
-That is all.
