Ugh! Hospital later so they can check out why my stomach is acting up the way it is....I know they are just helping but I honestly CBA with prodding and poking today after a rather stressful few days.

Oh and I also have a bruise the size of Antartica on my leg after walking into the side of the bed last night after visiting the bathroom. I such a klutz 😂

ahhh I hope you get seen soon too ; ;

Stomachs are a pain. Literally haha. Mine's been acting up a bit lately, but that's due to anxiety.

I drink a lot of water because I used to get kidney stones all the time. Fortunately it has left me alone since which also means that the amounts of times I got hospitalized since decreased significantly. xD

My stomach is fine, fortunately. I might get gallstones somewhere at some point, though. When they did some blood tests for the psychology stuff they said that this is a possibility that should be checked out some time in the future.

Everything's backed up due to COVID but as long as I do get in I'll keep hoping.
They originally suspected gallstones with me.

I hope things turn out well for you! :)

All the best to you <3

I'm thinking of having my dental cleaning here in South Africa instead of waiting until July when I'll be back in US. It's 6 months as of this month. Not going to have much time there before I have to leave again, and cleanings are only around $20 or so here for the uninsured? Will save me time for sure. But the dentist that's literally in the building right next to ours is closed until the 17th aaaaaaa

Nice!! Here they're like ~$100 WITH MY INSURANCE!
Feels bad.

Goodness. I paid $400 for a periodontal treatment last month...and that's with insurance. And I sprained my leg last weekend, too. That's a whole 'nother $300 for the urgent care visit.

Ugh. 'Murica.

Healthcare in America sounds like a nightmare with how expensive it is :( Wishing everyone the best with their health. I've always felt very fortunate to live in Australia as our healthcare system is quite good. That being said, medical costs are not fun at all. I had to be transported in an ambulance when I was 16 and I think that was $500 just for the ambulance ride alone. I also had surgery this year so I could breathe better but honestly after hearing some of the costs other people experience, I feel very fortunate that it was only $3,000 but its sad how procedures that improve basic quality of life can be so expensive even after insurance.

My heart also really goes out to people who don't have the means to afford therapy, for me it was just impractical to have long-term because it cost so much but I was able to go and get quite a few sessions free when I was in HS because I was a minor at the time.

I live in Canada, the quality of healthcare varies depending on the province but it's overall bad.

Yikes I hope not and hope you're ok. My stomach is still very sore :(. Yuck.

I dont wish to moan but ive been feeling rotten lately. I've been in constant pain and work has been really hard (kids thinking they can get away with things that they may do at home but certainly not in school). I just want to sleep for a year.

Awww Dill, all the best to you too ;_; You're not moaning, it's good to talk about these things! Kids are so tough to handle sometimes, major props to you for being able to do it!

Not a teacher per say. Im a Playworker and help out in after hours, clubs and with animal sciences 😅

My co-worker got covid and missed like three weeks of work. He also had the first dose of the vaccine. His doctor had told him that the dose pretty much saved his life. It made his symptoms worse than they could have been, but he still had a very rough experience. He still has a shortness of breath. I just started getting caught up with work. @_@ /accounting

One day away from the lifting of certain restriction here in the UK. I think even restaurants are even opening. I hope they haven't done it too early again this time...

Also really looking forward to Eurovision, it's been a long two years since the last one!

How is everyone today? 😊

doing alright, today! today has been a pretty relaxing c: contemplating on either doing some gaming or napping or something.

Great day to be off from work. It was super nice out and I didn't have to be stuck at work looking out the door wishing I was home...lol.

I feel so sick today, spent it in bed.
