    Thank you for the safety tips and for the insight into your life. Very glad you've made it through all of that and that you're still willing to share your creativity and thoughts.
    That's a lot of physical trauma. I've also been through a few such experiences and one tip I'd have for you is to acknowledge that your body might take more time to recover from things in future. Allow yourself the time to recover from illness. There are no awards for pushing through.
    Second tip: as a wheelchair user, I have a lot of issues of discomfort with pants. Dungarees are the answer: no waistband, no belt. Hope that's useful.

    I also had a weird heart brain situation at the beginning of the year that the doctors cannot figure out the name of. It was scary and stress related. Lost a group of friends who didn't believe me but I had medical science on my side with a stack of proof. It took months to recover, still recovering actually. Have trouble remembering nouns so have to write words into a book everyday to retrain my memory. Went from knowing nothing in January to 8,000 nouns in October so I'm doing well. 72,000 to go.😂

    I feel your pain. I had the same experience in 2022. My appendix burst. I honestly thought I was having a heart attack. I stupidly waited until the next morning to go to emergency. After tests and xrays, they realized I was filling with sepsis and rushed me into surgery. With every procedure, test and surgery, my hospital total came to $220,000 but my health insurance is so good, my co-pay was $50. I have to give props to Huntington Hospital in Pasadena as they have an incredible menu and great food.

    • @neilgodwin6531

      Glad you only paid $50, but the fact that you mention the finances is horrific to us in the UK and, I assume, the EU.
      I recently had to get a taxi to A&E, cost me £15 but I knew I would have to pay nothing for the care, treatment and meds. I already paid for it with my taxes.
      Everyone here feels sorry for Americans and can't understand why so many are terrified of 'socialised heathcare'.

      @@neilgodwin6531 Trust me, I mentioned the costs to highlight how ridiculous the system here is in the U.S. So many here neglect their health because of the cost of health insurance. The United States could easily afford free health care but the healthcare system has corrupt politicians in their pockets, much like the gun lobbyists do. It's a very pathetic system we have here run by greedy politicians and supported by barely educated voters who use guns and rifles as "compensation" and would also NOT pay an extra $1.50 a paycheck to have free healthcare. BUT, when they have a life threatening situation, boy do they want a handout.

      @@neilgodwin6531 Exactly. I wish we had a healthcare system like yours. I have friends and relatives who might still be alive. The unfortunate situation is, when a university bound youth is choosing their major, they are encouraged to select a field where one makes the most money. When “doctor” or “lawyer” is chosen, it’s RARELY because one has the desire to heal or protect, it’s just where the money is. Hence, we are inundated with people in the medical and law fields who lack sympathy or empathy. They are simply driven by earning 7 figures. They can charge outlandish amounts for doing the bare minimum. A friend of mine had a short hospital stay and on his itemized billing, he was charged $75 for cotton and Q-Tips. It’s pathetic. It seems today that nobody here in the U.S. enters the medical for law fields for public service, only the paycheck. This is one of the reasons I’m moving to Spain in a few years.

    Was there a silver lining to any of these near-death experiences? Like did you get to keep stuff for your cosplay like hospital gowns, the neck brace, or boom boom appendix?
    And slightly humorous medical swap story: my brother and I had broken bones around roughly the same time - he with the shattered tibia from a soccer kick to the shin and I a hairline fracture at the tip of my humerus after falling from roller skating indoors on the rug. He was in for a checkup and the doctor was staring at an X-ray of my elbow and wondering wtf happened. Well, we both have the same first name (our dad really liked this politician) of a two-parter first name and everyone assumes that’s the name we go by.
