Healthcare - Mine

Wishing not to exclude family and friends from current medical events I'll fill in: My recent asthma coughing wasn't asthma. A series of (mostly small) events beginning three weeks age were on Thursday emphatically pinned down as blood clots--leg and lungs. And a hospital stay.

(Blogger on my iPhone isn't retrieving photo of my hospital bed which you didn't want to see anyway.)

The medical world, the insurance world, and the government world are meeting on the battlefield of perpetual conflict to decide on the cheapest way to administer injectable blood thinner since I've assured all concerned I'm not about to do this to myself at home. A decision will fly out of the jousting for either another day or so in this institution of lukewarm foods and coffee, or a nurse will be deployed 2 times a day to do the injections until tests I drive to reveal that something called a INR reaches the level of 2, or better. Then, a pill will maintain levels to make the clots go away.

Just think, we could have had single payer or universal health care.

Many thanks to all who've contacted or come. Seeing you or thinking of you in my cyber world goes deep into my sense that all will be well.
