Serious rant, and update on my life.

I am still alive! Thankfully. I've had a very rough, very lonely and exhausting past 4 weeks. I've been dealing with my 3rd case of pneumonia. Thankfully it wasn't a serious case, because it has been close to deadly for me before. I've been treated for a bacterial infection finally, and for the first time I am starting to feel better. The really big issue at hand is that for the first time in my life I don't have health insurance. It pisses me off so much, because my One trip to the doctor cost a fortune. And the biggest problem is that I am insured with Kaiser. I went up for a review to be reinstated on their health plan, and I got denied because I had a recent (one year ago) report of being treated for a back problem. (I got denied for heath insurance, because I needed it, and they felt I was a risk of costing them Fucking Money). when I was younger I got in a car accident. And Kaiser wouldn't take x-rays of my back, even though I was complaining that it hurt so much.. for 4 years. Finally when (it was tooooo late) my chiropractor, got me an x-ray and found out that my lower spine was broken, and shifted 9mm. it could have been treated and fixed if Kaiser would have seen to my complaints at the time of the accident. but instead it cost them more money throughout the rest of my life making sure it didn't slip any further,(I needed surgery on my spine) because if it did, I would be partially paralyzed from the waist down. This being the case.. when they said recently that I was denied for having recent back treatment, they strongly assumed it was for that problem... When I was really just in there because I had really bad muscle spasms due to my intense martial arts training I was doing to prepare for a tournament, and I just needed something to relax my muscles. I will say it again... They denied me because I needed help, Those Fuckers!!!

So, in the last few weeks, I've been in bed or around the house watching tv or drawing, or playing video games.. being sick this long is really physically and mentally draining. otherwise I would have asserted myself more.. I've had to sacrifice going to a few important meeting, and a gathering, and I stayed away from friends as much as I could because I really don't want to get anyone else sick. so yea... It's been a bit lonely.

I have been applying my time where I could, and I think I have finally found a place where I can start a racing career, it will take much time to develop, but it's worth going after if the pieces fall into place. That being the case, It may cause me to miss Comic-Con next year if I try to start soon enough.

To everyone of you, I love you all, and I miss you guys so much! I'm back on my feet now, so I will try to make my rounds to see people.. when I find gas money! and someone to watch my grandmother.. OMG another story I'm not getting into anymore. I'm dealing with it, even though the subject has cause me mom and I to get in a few really big fights...

WHAT IS PNEUMONIA EXACTLY?

Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the lung.[1] Frequently, it is described as lung parenchyma/alveolar (microscopic air-filled sacs of the lung responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere) inflammation and (abnormal) alveolar filling with fluid. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as idiopathic--that is, unknown--when infectious causes have been excluded.

Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics.

Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health.
