Had to pay $200 for a covid test because my families insurance had just dropped me because I turned 24
Spent it in the hospital, drugged with some morphine shit that wasn’t actually powerful enough to take away the pain.
Pancreatitis is no joke, kids.
What caused it?
That’s a story and a half
In early 2020, after 5 years and 3 separate doctors I figured out why my belly hurt all the time. It was crohn’s disease. But hey, good news, I could start treatment!
The first treatment we attempted, because we had to, was Azathioprine. It is provided freely by our government’s free healthcare service, and it works for a lot of people.
Well it did put the crohn’s into remission. After a month I took my first normal shit in eeeeh nine years?
Small problem, it was too toxic for my body and my pancreas rioted.
Anyway we started with Entyvio after I got over the pancreatitis, it is not provided by the government but my parents’ health insurance covers it and we found a way.
First normal shit in 9 years? That’s crazy. You wouldn’t even remember what normal was after that long. Must’ve been quite a relief.
I almost took a photo of it in my phone to tell my friends about my great achievment.
TMI-ish, nasty
C.D. shits are insane by the way. When talking to normal people I call it ‘diarrhea’, but really it’s more like vomiting out of your arse.
Damn, reading the comments here really puts things in perspective. I was gonna say something about getting a bunch of Rick and Morty stuff despite having no interest in Rick and Morty, but damn y’all
Our car burst a tire on the way to the indoor skydiving place. I haven’t been there since.
indoor skydiving place
Those exist?
yea, i’m not big fan, but those places surely have one. anyway, the fact that their tire burst on the way, kinda blows
It’s just a vertical wind tunnel with a net above a grate that you stand on. Once the airspeed reaches ~200km/h you can fall forward and you’ll be pushed upwards.
Oh that’s what it was. I thought maybe it was like a really tall building or something, like those ski slopes they have in Dubai because they don’t know where to put all their money.
The 9/11 suicide attacks. I didn’t know until a couple days later that a relative died during it.
My dad fell quite ill after a blood transfusion (had been fighting CLL for ~25 years). He died 2 days later.
My 16th birthday we were on a family vacation. I was upset that day cause I wanted to be with friends, my dad was pissed cause I was unhappy and didn’t even tell me happy birthday. Sounds like not that big of a deal but to teen me it was devastating
I stood up to my then partner’s abuse. He told me I had no power and he would make sure I was left with nothing if I ever left him.
I knew if I cried he would use it against me and try to convince me I was crazy and emotional. He would do that so I would know my place. So I held my tears and bit my tongue.
I don’t know yet. It’s not until the 23rd.
I got murdered
How are you communicating with everyone?
Ghost in the machine.
Had a really bad flu, but was supposed to turn up to my first day of apprenticeship. Awkward enough to be introduced on your birthday, but I also looked and sounded like shit. Could also not relax in the evening, because my now ex had a broken collarbone and could not shower without help, so I had to drive to his flat. He had no one else to help him. Got no thanks for that.
Nothing
Grandma died
I literally can’t remember any of my birthdays lmao.
Not even the big ones. Ive done stuff, I’m sure. Nothing particularly bad.
My dad was in a really bad mood and overly negative. I didn’t want a party or anything anyway, but I didn’t want to be in a negative place and be around him when he was just complaining about everything.
I didn’t know at the time, but he had recently found out that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and not only that, his former health insurance had hid the diagnosis from him for over 6 months while he was in pain and waiting for an answer. Probably because of his age and they thought they’d just wait him out and let him die. That very likely led to it metastasizing throughout his body and causing all sorts of problems and his eventual death. He tried suing the insurance company but no lawyer wanted to take them on because they’re massive.
Ah…sorry for the tangent.
Though the next few birthdays weren’t bad or good, just okay which is how I like it. I don’t want to celebrate it, but people acknowledging it feels nice.
