Why you need insurance

Why you need insurance,

When it comes…..

The very breath is stolen from my chest

robbed by a blind and deaf bandit

he jumped me

pushed me over

and he is now kicking me in my kidney

the left one

I wish it was a bandit

then I would drag myself off the floor

and kick his ass

If I make it through tonight

it will be ok

Praying with out words

to a God I hope is there

mercy

uncle

PLEASE

At least can I stop throwing up?

Find the pills that don’t work

no not there

no not those

maybe a bath in a minute

I need time to think

If I make it through tonight

it will be ok

My metal will be tested

It’s only just started

how long can it last?

why do I have to know?

Don’t forget to breath

What will I do?

how will I pay?

do I stay or go?

please just take the pain away…

If I make it through tonight

It will be ok

I hope

Julie

To avoid all confusion. I am

To avoid all confusion. I am passing a kidney stone, and I am not sure if I want to cry, yell, beg, throw this computer out the nearest window or go to the hospital. I hate the hospital. And if I did, how I would pay for it. Why will it be ok if I make it through the night, because I can go to the walk in clinic and save my self an emergency room bill. Last stone cost over a thousand with insurance. And to top it off, my cat is missing for 36 hrs now. And yes, if he doesn’t come home soon my pain over my missing cat will be my next topic. If that wasn’t enough my new used car only starts every other time you want to drive it. But I won’t be writing about that. As for my title, just what it says. Please support healthcare reform. I dare one damn person to tell me I don’t deserve to see a doctor, or should go broke from seeing one. The construction industry is still at 22% unemployment And our insurance has just expired. I have paid out the ass my whole life and when things are the worst my insurance bows out. Bite me insurance industry. Please support new jobs. Personal request to business owners, if your not hiring this recession can not recover. If you can hire a body, please hire a body. And I can’t tell you all how disappointed I am that I am all finished writing and how much I will miss the distraction. GOD HAVE MERCY ON MY LEFT KIDNEY! And wish the right one happy thoughts. And in advance, I really don’t give a shit if I was longwinded. I am going to attempt to sleep now.

Please listen. In this

Please listen. In this case, writing a poem is not enough to pass a kidney stone. Love, Anna Words must be used like stepping stones: lightly and with nimbleness, because if you step on them too heavily, you incur the danger of falling into the intellectual mire of logic and reason. - Balsekar

F@#% it! Go to the E.R.

I totally agree with them. Do what you gotta do, to preserve your health. Never had one myself, but friends have, and they say I don't want the experience. I'll take their word for it. Hope you feel better soon. Also hope that your cat shows up soon, too. As to why our economy isn't growing, it is because the people have really lost confidence in ourselves as a country. We see that the rest of the world is starting to catch up with us, both economically and technically and it is like the runner that sees someone on his heels. He starts giving up, saying what is the use. But, fear not there are still plenty of us, that will start waking up and saying that this isn't a nightmare, this is real! And we will do something about it. Take care DD, ~ Gee

Yes they are all right, as

Yes they are all right, as are you Gee. And yes, worse than childbirth, earaches, pretty much anything except major trama. But good pain meds help. And thanks for the kitty well wishes. Still no sign of him. We live in the woods on a hwy. Tends to claim animals. And you are right about the future of our economy, and we will eventualy climb out of it. Be well to Gee, luv ya bunchs Julie D.D.

Yes it is worse Judyanne,

Yes it is worse Judyanne, and since my daughter was born in just under five hours, this is way longer. Total torture. Like some one stabing you along with uncontrolable nausea. And you are correct about my health, but I will still try to avoid running up thousands of dollars in bills. Thank you kindly for your care and concern, I do feel better after going and getting pain killers and nausea meds. Julie D.D.
