Amazes me that people still don’t get it. Health insurance companies don’t care about you. They want to extract money from your healthy body until you are no longer healthy, then they want you to die as quickly as possible so they can focus on other money producing bodies.

My favorite criticism I’ve received about my pro-vaccination content is that I’m fear mongering. You’re damn right I’m fear mongering. We should all be fucking terrified. I will continue to monger as much fear as possible. We’re 6 weeks from me showing up in an ICU to do an ECMO.

This is Roger, the nurse who took care of me in the ICU. My first memories after my arrest are Roger sitting with me for hours just talking with me. Asking me about my life, my family. I’m convinced that this helped me regain normal cognition, forcing me to think and remember.

Had an appt with my cardiologist. He came in with 2 med students. They were asked to assess my jugular vein. It was very quiet so I asked how my a wave was doing. The cardiologist looked befuddled and said, “you know what that is?” and I said no and we all laughed and laughed.

Since the cardiac arrest, every time my kids do something sweet like climb into my lap to watch a campfire, I feel this relief that I’m still here to experience that moment. It feels happy and sad, if that makes sense. Not sure how long that feeling will last, maybe forever.

Couple things about vision insurance. It’s mostly used for glasses/contacts and routine exams for people with perfectly healthy eyes. Also, it’s dumb. Why would the most important disability accommodation in human history not be covered by medical insurance? Makes no sense…

For all the protestors, pepper spray is oil based. If you get sprayed DO NOT rub your eyes. Immediately blink as much as you can to wash out some of the oil with your own tears. Then, wash your eyes with baby shampoo and rinse copiously with water. Be safe.
