Hello Fu Family n Friends,
2020 will be a defining year for me moving forwards as I will require having the valve in my aorta, which is in the heart, replaced as without doing so would surely take my life within the next 6-24 months.
To do so, requires a 10-14 day hospital stay; and as we all know, no matter what life throws at us, the bills still keep coming regardless. That said, yesterday I was admitted to hospital and quickly came to realize what they were trying to do with me and since I"m not prepared at this point in time to spend 2 weeks in hospital dealing with this, I checked myself out amid sqawks and complaints from medical professionals who couldn't even agree amongst themselves what was going on.
That said, if I'm going to be a human pin cushion for medical personnel who for whatever reason, fail to listen to the patient, and can't even agree amongst themselves what is going on, then I don't have time for their "junk" when I know I have to prepare ahead of time for this corrective surgery.
When a so called expert ignores a radiologist who determines that I have/had pneumonia in my right lung, gets the nurse to give me two IV bags of antibiotics which by the way are the sole reason I was able to shop & fill my cupboards and fridge this morning and sit down and write this, says something to the degree of difference of opinions.
I was advised of this concern about 2 years ago by a Dr of Internal Medicine who I have been seeing quarterly for 10 years now so I know exactly what's going on; even if these guys won't listen for the time being.
Anyways, moving forward, I'm ensuring my bills are paid in advance including 2 months rent as one never knows about complications that nobody could have aniticipated; and without financial planning, could put me in a bad spot; all of which is considered needless stress moving forward towards recovery from likely my most difficult surgery to date; #16.
So, friends n family, there you have it. If I don't respond to you about various things right away, there's your reason and when the time comes for admission, I will post a status update.
You all be cool
