    Dear Medical Team:

    Please send me an up-to-date itemized medical bill. If possible, coordinate with my family on my current amount of medical debt and send that across as well. This will help me determine whether or not I even want to wake up.

    Yours sleepily,
    comatose ryan

      I don’t understand. Itemized medical bill? Do they make you pay for healthcare in your dream world?

      Don’t worry, medical care is now government funded in the real world! The taxes you paid prior to falling into a coma covered you.

      This is in no way a ploy to get you to wake up so we can put you in the medical work camp because you owe us 17 million dollars.

      Me starting the toaster before wake-n-bake shitting. Hastily wiping my ass and washing my hands as the smoke detector goes off. Every goddamn day.

      For context, I toast in the air fryer and it defaults for 15 minutes and who the hell feels like turning that down.

    Implying you’re rich enough that they would keep the life support equipment plugged in for 20 years. It’s definitely a trick of some kind. Maybe there are limited slots in the Matrix and someone wants to kick you out so it can be their turn.

    This explains a lot. I don’t know how to wake up though, and I’m unwilling to leave a solid life that I’ve built here in my dream to enter some reality where I’ve been asleep for 20 years, will have massive health issues, and will certainly be destitute and broke. So if you’re reading this, I’m doing well. Thanks for the concern, but I’m going to stay asleep. Cheers!

    I’m so tempted to try to wake up, but I’d lose my fucking mind if I woke up suddenly without my wife and daughter. Pull the plug.

    I swear if you don’t pull the damn plug I’ll sue your asses to hell and back.
