The pink of health...
So here I am sitting here with sweaty eye-sockets. I can only say that this remarkable because I only ever noticed this happening after my heart started fucking me off... well that and that I seem to gain and lose 10 kilos of water on my abdomen and feet every few days. Edema blows goats. My feet look 70 years old from the constant increase and decrease in size.
It has been rough the past few days, and regardless of what the tests at the hospital say, I am fairly certain I have some variant of congestive heart failure coming on. I am pretty much convinced the American medical industry provides diagnoses on a sliding scale adjusted by your ability to pay, so if you have no insurance, they say you don't have something, but if you do, then you get the diagnosis after they have "tested" your insurance's ability and willingness to pay by doing as many needless and costly medical tests as humanly possible.
Well, that or they just like getting me into those ridiculous hospital gowns that cover nothing so they can see the fading glory of my body...
