Had to deal with a medical emergency today.
The health system sucks. No compassion, appalling treatment and absolutely disgusting lack of care.
Back to my usual writing schedule tomorrow.

Hope you are okay. I have felt that way sometimes in the past. I found a caring Doctor and am happier with my care, but the past makes it difficult to give in to enjoy his care and concern.
These people were just plain awful. We are ok-ish. Not quite ok, but will be. Chris got injured.
Oh! Is he ok? Baseball can be dangerous. My daughter got a line drive in the nose. If it doesn’t hurt give him hugs from me. Sending strong healing vibes to you both.
huge hugs back. x
Sorry to hear about the injury…hopefully proper was given.
No, they made him wash his own wound with soap and water, dry it on a rough towel, and then refused to dress it appropriately when they realized we couldn’t pay. They showed my son NO compassion at all. He is still a kid. I had to dress it myself. We did see a doctor. No lasting damage, but a very nasty cut. I can’t help but think if my son was whiter they would have been kinder. Bastards.
Hey, thank you for caring about him. …that nice of you.
I hate that people feel that their economical status makes them somewhat better than everyone else. I remember when I was so low on the ladder of success that I couldn’t see the bottom rung, I hope our boy, Chris, is doing well now. Washing with soap and water was good advice, but shit, they could have got their hands wet. He is lucky to have a loving Mom like you. Hugs to both of you.
It was quite a bad injury, darling. I will write to you privately and tell you about it! He says hello. Poor kiddo!
Sending strong healing vibes and hugs to both of you. Take care.
Thank you. I am so worried about him.
Being young is on his side. If he is reasonable healthy, he can ward off many things that you and I would be hit harder by. Try to keep him down and make sure he eats. Sleep is good for him. Hugs! You are a great Mom.
He is very fit and very healthy, but has scared the living daylights out of me. Kiddo is 110 pounds of muscle. Runs a lot. HUGS. Im useless when other people are hurt or not well.
Motherhood is not for sissies or the weak of spirit, and you have the heart of a lion and are strong.
Thank you so much, it means the world that you feel that way, Gramma xx
