13.02.2026 21:02 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0I've not really slept since Tuesday night, I was too upset Wednesday and didnt get home from the hospital till late.
Last night was filled with anxiety, panic attacks, and nightmares. It was a scary situation and your not supposed to see skin like that.
I'm not looking for sympathy, or comments
On top of that, of course I needed to get sick, and have what I beleive is a sinus infection. I did get meds for that today but that was an adventure, as they originally prescribed me amoxacillin ( i didnt notice, more on that to come) which I am allergic to.

I have no idea everyones names, was all a blur, but that you to Rebecca of the police who followed the ambulance to carry me there
These past couple days have been from hell. Wednesday my brother choked on a meatball. It lodged so low they had to sedate him and use forceps to remove it. There was a huge fear of oxygen deprivation. Thankfully, that seems not the case. He was transported to hospital and will be there

Would our costs be less overall if we paid more at the beginning? (and dont get me started on paving in december, when its too cold to meld together)
