Now I have to deal with cellulitis too; I think its time for me to start looking for an ice floe.


Won't that be hard to find in Florida?

Precisely. I also don't really want to be set adrift on an ice floe but it seems I may be out of options.

....
Well, I can't even afford the quacks. Florida heat is unbearable, trekking to offices and clinics difficult.

"Take this medication with a full meal" ... How on earth does one even get a snack much less a meal when you are homeless and the twelve hours are up at 3:00am?

Smooth this ointment over the leg wound. Gee, if they had said that on the OUTSIDE of the package, I could have bought some hobby-like ice cream sticks to extend my reach but now that I've left the pharmacy, its a bit late to learn I need a stick and some gauze and some tape. Its fourteen miles you jerks!

When it rains...
The clunker may have taken its final clunk.
Low Coolant light had been on forever but finally it was for real and I ignored it.
Guage went all the way over and pegged in the red... three times.
Car towed to mechanic andnow I'm awaiting the call as to whether resurrection is even possible much less affordable.

Anyone thing I could tell FEMA it was water damage?

This wound care is 2000 a week stuff.... I sure hope Medicare pays it.

Even if it does, its using up my limits of care.

Been w/o oxygen for 'bout six months.

Denied.

Used to. Wasn't working right later not working at all.
Haven't had O2 for my vacuum cleaner in six months.

Get new vacuum cleaner next week but no O2 because foolish sleep tech never tried oxygen as I was okay at a wide open throttle.
