Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

Postby Ad@m » Thu Feb 10, 2022 9:40 pm

My son has been doing #3 and puking for two days. He seems to be on the mend. My wife just started doing both at the same time. My daughter and I are unscathed.... So far.

I'm sitting on the couch watching the Pens with an existential dread I can't describe.
Get well soon, @Mrs. Shad

Update: My daughter is no longer unscathed. Pile of chunks on carpet. I have Vicks smeared under my nose and two masks on.

My son woke up at 430 feeling great and wanting to eat all the things. I'll take it.

I'm still in the clear... So far.

Ugh, had the same thing happen to us around New Years, shaf. I was also last in line to get everything. I never did puke, but had the shits and felt horrible for a day or two.

No, but it does include denied claims for close to $1,000 for the out-of-network pathologist that reviewed my labs. They still show as $0 patient responsibility, but who knows if I'll ever get that bill.

My bill was 400K+ and I ended up paying 10K.

How much of that was critical/ICU vs regular room? $400k is no joke, yikes.

$375k of that was payback for him continually asking the staff why they have modern, expensive devices when old school ones still work fine...

I may have given it took me three days to gain most of my memories. I thought I still lived in GA was married. Amnesia is no fun.

In early Feb I had carpal tunnel release surgery done on my left hand. Scheduled my right for April 14. Now my Dr no longer performs surgeries at the hospital, only at a surgical center. For some reason my sleep apnea disqualifies me from having surgery at this center? Anyway. Wonderful, now I probably have to start this process all over again.

That's standard procedure for a surgical center, and really, you want to be in an actual hospital should something happen. Ask your doc for recommendations - I'm sure they can get you situated with somebody who still operates in the hospital.

Has anyone had a stomach bug the past week in the pittsburgh area? My family including myself have been ravaged by it and I’ve had a bunch of friends with the same thing. Has to be norovirus I’m thinking
